PEER SUPPORT The Peer Support and Critical Incident Stress Management Team provides firefighters with a confidential outlet to cope with the emotional challenges and traumatic experiences related to the job. In 2023, the team participated in a mental resiliency class, added a new team member, acquired a second therapy dog, Pegasus, and joined the North Bay Regional Peer Support Team to assist surrounding agencies.
SUMMER MOVIES & FOOD TRUCKS SERIES
The Summer Movies and Food Trucks Series rolled in to three neighborhood parks last year, Laurel Creek Park, Rolling Hills Park, and Mankas Neighborhood Park. Sports partners, Solano Surf, Air Blair, and First Step, were on-site to demonstrate soccer, T-ball, baseball, football, and basketball, all sports offered through the Parks & Recreation Department. Over 700 community members enjoyed this series. To find out more about this and other events, visit www.fairfield.ca.gov/events.
FLEET & TECH ENHANCEMENTS Fire purchased three new vehicles, a Stake Side vehicle, a Skeeter, and a Water Tender. These purchases will streamline operational efficiencies and increase responsiveness and effectiveness. Internet Technology assisted Fire in implementing their new Westnet Alerting System. This system integrates gas shut-off valves when crews are called out and addresses long-term issues associated with dispatch notifications that negatively affect firefighter health.
NEW GOLF COURSE MANAGEMENT
Touchstone Golf was selected as the new manager of operations at both Paradise Valley and Rancho Solano Golf Courses. A single operator will optimize customer service continuity, increase the effectiveness of overall management, and maximize revenue generation to support deferred maintenance, capital improvement, and modernization.
POOL & PARK UPGRADES Parks & Recreation upgraded their pool deck at the Allan Witt Aquatic Center by adding lounge chairs, repainting existing furniture, and adding table umbrellas for sun protection. They also installed wireless lighting systems at Laurel Creek Park and Lee Bell Park to lower energy costs and maximize staff time.
