    Number so far

    Buck Creek Fire Department (Mt comfort Airport property)

    The three major topics are:

    · Responder safety

    · Quick clearance

    · Communications

    Cable barriers

    ISP meet with INDOT about the cable barriers. Want INDOT to get a group of responders together and develop an Indiana Standard. Major Melville also discussed the request to demonstrate the ability to push down an end post to release tension in the system.

    Three New Issues:

    1. We are seeing more and more incidents where our first responders understand that vehicles should remain off the roadway until a more appropriate time so traffic is less affected.  When this occurs, how do we handle the traffic direction for the tow company that goes back out to get the vehicle(s) out?

    General Consensus – that police should come back to aid during tow recovery however the hazardous spill recovery should continue to be permitted.

    1. Communication- how do we talk with other disciplines, responding the wrong way without communication with on scene personnel?
      1. Met with IFD, Pike Twp, IPSC, INDOT, ISP
