White Loveland, Colorado 80537 Fax: (970) 669-9380 September 4, 1996 Captain Bill Nelson Larimer County Sheriff's Office 200 West Oak P.o. Box 1190 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Dear Captain Nelson: The Town of Estes Park has forwarded the proposed Haz-Mat Mutual Aid Agreement for hazardous substance incidents to me for review. I have the following comments: 1. The responsible party for the Estes Park area would be the Town of Estes Park rather than the Estes Park Fire Department. The Town is the legal authority with regard to fire matters in the area. The Agreement should read the Town of Estes Park, Colorado operating through the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department. 2. Paragraph 1 c) makes the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department responsible for taking initial action within the Estes Park Fire Protection Area. There is no definition of the Estes Park Fire Protection Area. It is my suggestion that the area either be defined in the Agreement or an attachment made defining the area geographically. 3. Paragraph 1 c) makes the Estes Park Fire Department respond automatically to all requests within the Glen Haven Volunteer Fire Department, Big Elk Meadows Volunteer Fire Department, the Pinewood Springs Fire Protection District and the Allenspark Fire Protection District. The Town is not interested in having any automatic obligation for response into those areas. 4. In Paragraph 1 c), it should be made clear that the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department's voluntary response to Allenspark Fire Protection District should only include that area of Allenspark's District located within Larimer County. 5. In order to have a firm legal foundation for the reimbursement of costs, in the event that Estes Park voluntarily responds into either Pinewood Springs or Allenspark District, those two Districts need to consent to the Town being the response authority for hazardous materials incidents. If you have any questions coAcerning this letter, please do not hesitate to give me a call. ~ 7Fy trulv yours, I %Â£e* A.

While there I noticed a duck frozen to the ice some 40 or 50 feet from the shore. I called the Police Department and they were going to contact the Division of Wildlife Office. About 4 PM I returned to the lake to find the duck still struggling to get free. A friend at the lake told me the duck had been frozen in the ice since at least 11 AM when she was there to feed the ducks. We tried throwing rocks to break up the ice but had no success. I decided to go home and see if I could locate someone with hip waders so we could go out a little ways in the lake and use a long pole to break up the ice around the duck. Having no luck in finding hip waders I started back to the lake. On my way 1 saw a Colorado State Patrolman stopped along the highway. Knowing the duck would probably not make it through the night I stopped and told the patrolman about the duck. He followed me to the lake. The patrolman had noticed Mark Chrastil of our fire department was at the fire station so he called Mark who came with a long pole, but the pole was too short to reach anywhere near the duck. While we were all trying to decide what more could be done the patrolman suggested spraying water on the duck. Mark went back to the fire station and returned with the tanker truck. After the hose was connected, Mark turned on the water while the patrolman sprayed water on the duck. Within seconds the duck was free and off swimming in the lake once again. Where else but in Estes Park would the fire department and highway patrol team up and put so much effort in to freeing a duck. My thanks to Mark Chrastil, our fire department for the use of their equipment and the highway patrolman. Judith Nichol 870 Elk Meadow Ct Estes Park, CO CC: Estes Park Fire Chief *&4841 C TOWN OF ESTES PARK INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM Date: February 6, 1997 To: Fire Chief Dorman CC: Gary Klaphake , From: Rich Widmer /0 Subject: ISO Ratings This memo is written to give you information I received from a conversation with Ron Kepler of the Denver ISO office on November 27, 1996. Mr. Kepler advised me of the following ratings that our neighboring cities have: Inside City Limits Eu[at Fort Collins 4 Poudre Valley Fire Dist 5 Loveland 4 9 Loveland Fire Auth 6 9 Longmont 4 Estes Park 6 10 He advised me if we could change Estes Park rural rating from a 10 to a 9, we would probably see an ISO recommended rate reduction in residential of about 10% and about 7% for commercial. If we change Estes Park inside the Town limits from a 6 to a 5, the residential rates probably would not change, but the commercial rates could decrease from 2 - 5% depending upon the construction type. In both these cases, it is up to the insurance companies as to whether they follow the ISO recommended rate reductions; however, if he is accurate about the reductions, it would be a significant savings for our citizens. If we decide to proceed with a rerating request, we need to have the Mayor send ISO a letter requesting a rerating. They would then send us some information sheets to fill out and would then do the inspection in 3 to 6 months. CORRESPONDENCE SUMMARY February 1997 Received a written Thank You from Dawn Normali for the assistance she received from Officers Brand and Kenney and Cpl. Culloo when Driftwood Ave. was very icy one evening.
