“Season of Change”
2014 has been a year of changes not just for the city, but for the fire department as well. For
starters, our training program has increased its quality training hours. In 2013 we averaged 84 hours
per firefighter and this year we increased that average to 90 hours per firefighter. Also, all of our station
officers have completed 50 hours of online training for their Blue Card Training certification. This train-
ing certifies our officers in managing emergency incidents. We plan to continue expanding this training
to other members of the department.
Our staff has faced some changes due to personnel leaving. Station 2’s Captain, Don Johnson,
resigned from our department to become Chanhassen’s first fulltime Fire Chief. Therefore, creating pro-
motions at station 2 with a new captain and lieutenant. We also experienced a vacancy in our training
department which allowed officers to step in and assist with that position. It was recently approved to
hire a fulltime Assistant Fire Chief to handle our departments training. In August we hired our largest
group of rookie firefighters during my time as the Fire Chief. They are currently in the final stages of
their training that will be completed in 2015.
Public Safety Education is very important to our members and our community. We strive to take
advantage of every opportunity to present our safety messages. Our firefighters completed 989 hours in
public events that included Water Safety/Hands only CPR training, Night to Unite, and Safety Camp.
Firefighters also hosted 182 hours in station tours that range from Boy Scout and Girl Scout groups,
daycares, and a variety of others.
Our 2014 LFD Annual Report is a reflection of that commitment to the community we serve. It is
filled with statistics and information that identifies ways in which we continue to successfully meet our
mission and improve our department for the future.
Our successes are due to the dedication of all the members of the Lakeville Fire Department,
the support of our community and its leaders. We couldn’t meet our mission without this dedication and
support.
I hope you find this report informative and interesting.
Sincerely,
Mike Meyer, Fire Chief

ADMINISTRATION
From Chief Meyer ….
2014 started as one of the coldest winters on record,
which made training and responding to incidents a challenge at
times. Our first structure fire, crews faced temperatures of -14
degrees and we repeated this again with another fire in temper-
atures at -10 degrees. Even through this, our firefighters did
what was asked of them. We also got to see how our communi-
ty supports us at scenes on days like those.
We continued to focus on improving our department members
through training. In 2013 we started Incident Blue Card training.
All chief officers have completed this training and we are currently finishing up all
station officers. We will continue to train more members in this program. With the
addition of Target Solutions, an online training platform, we have increased the num-
ber of training hours that our firefighters complete. This training has helped in com-
pleting classroom training on their time; this allows for more hands on skills training
at our Monday trainings.
We continue to monitor how we respond to calls, closely watching our re-
sponse times and resources to ensure that we are meeting the needs of our com-
munity in the services that we provide. We have expanded our use of a program
called “Active 911” which turns a smart phone into a pager to alert our firefighters of
emergency calls. We currently share the incident information with our surrounding
departments to assist with directions and also hydrant locations on an auto or mutu-
al aid incident. We continue to work on the implementation of a new Computer Aid-
ed Dispatch (C.A.D.) system, with this system we will move to unit dispatching ver-
sus station paging. The system will find the closet appropriate unit for the call type
and send them. This will allow us to be more responsive to calls and also will work
across boundaries with our surrounding communities.
Department training, fire prevention and education, and public events keep us
busy throughout the year. We continue to look for new ways to expand how and
where we take safety in our community. 2014 was a busy year for emergency inci-
dents and they continue to increase each year. We continue to explore new meth-
ods of training to better utilize our firefighter’s time and to improve our regular de-
partment trainings. We are always checking out new technologies and how they
can benefit us as a department in providing services to our community.

FIRE DEPARTMENT EVENTS
It is part of our Mission Statement to provide the best public safety education we can to the
community and that requires us as a department to be involved in our community. Fire pre-
vention is a critical part of our mission. Lakeville firefighters get the message out to reduce
fires and other emergencies in a wide variety of ways through our “On Call” cable TV show,
station tours, Pan-O-Prog, Night to Unite, and other local events. As firefighters and a de-
partment, we pride ourselves on being able to help spread that message and enjoy partici-
pating in the events for our community.
LFD On Call
“On Call” airs every other month and is always a fun project that City of Lakeville Cable Pro-
ducer Tim Klausler and “On Call” Host Chris Lewis produce and host.
The duo regularly invites guests to assist in providing relevant and interesting content. The
show starts with an informational segment that focuses on how firefighters train and the work
that Lakeville firefighters complete. They also provide specific information related to fire pre-
vention at home and in the workplace.
Spot the Fire Dog is the host and always provides interest-
ing information in a way that adults and children find enter-
taining.
The “On Call” show can be viewed from the Lakeville gov-
ernment channel (Charter Cable 180), social media and the
city’s website.
Station Tours
We have requests for station tours throughout the
year. Lakeville has four fire stations and residents/
groups may request a tour at any of the four loca-
tions.
The tours are never the
same, but firefighters always
cover general fire safety
basics including checking smoke alarms, changing smoke alarm
batteries, and creating an escape plan.
Participants are always grateful for the time firefighters donate to do
the tours. The firefighters are always willing to give their time for
these important opportunities to spread the word about fire preven-
tion and safety.
In 2014 firefighters volunteered their time for 52 station tours/fire
prevention visits.

FIRE DEPARTMENT EVENTS
Parades
Participation in local parades is always fun and Lakeville
firefighters are eager to get a fire engine on the road, show
it off to neighboring communities and interact with the
community members.
In 2014, Lakeville firefighters participated in area parades
including: Farmington Dew Days, Apple Valley Freedom
Days, and the Burnsville Fire Muster.
Pan-O-Prog
For the citizens of Lakeville, Pan-O-Prog is a great time to cele-
brate our community. Lakeville firefighters are an integral part of
this participation and do a lot of
behind the scenes work to make
the event a success.
Firefighters participate in July Fourth fireworks, Cruise Night
and the Pan-O-Prog parade, but the most well known activi-
ty is the Belgian Waffle Breakfast.
For ten years, the Lakeville Fire Department Relief Associa-
tion has hosted the Waffle Breakfast with some help from
Dad’s Waffles to produce an all-you-can-eat breakfast for the department’s only fundraiser.
This breakfast features Belgian waffles with an endless supply of toppings, hot sausage,
juice and coffee.
Dad’s Waffles looks forward to this event, as it is the biggest event they work, and the citi-
zens of Lakeville continually give the firefighters and Dad’s Waffles crew a workout. The
money raised by the Lakeville Fire Department Relief Association is used to support the fire-
fighters.
The Lakeville firefighters thank you for your continued support!

Minnesota Night to Unite
Night to Unite (formerly National Night Out) is a chance for neighbors to get together, meet
each other and members of the community who may not live next door, but are always
nearby and ready to assist.
Night to Unite finds all four of Lakeville’s fire sta-
tions empty for awhile as all of the fire apparatus
are out in the neighborhoods.
Firefighters open the trucks, explain the equip-
ment, provide reminders about fire safety, turn
down offers to spray the crowd and then pack up,
turn on the lights and sirens and head off to the
next neighborhood.
With over 79 visits during Night to Unite, Lakeville firefighters stay very busy and look for-
ward to the next year.
CPR and Water Safety Education Day
In May, Lakeville Fire partnered with Allina, Family Swim
School and Heart Restart to offer a hands only CPR
training and water safety course at Brackett’s Crossing
Country Club. The free educational event was well
attended.
Safety Camps
Lakeville Fire demonstrates the smoke trailer, provides safety talks and gives truck tours to
elementary children enrolled in the Park and Rec safety summer class.

FIRE PREVENTION REPORT
From Fire Marshal Brian Carstensen…
Our mission… The Lakeville Fire Department is dedicated to serving the
community through the protection of lives and property by providing
public safety education and professional response.
This mission statement plays out each and every day as it relates to fire
prevention. One of the functions of prevention is fire investigation. In-
vestigation, resulting in the determination of the origin, cause, and cir-
cumstances of a fire leads to:
1. Prevention through education of the public
2. Training and education of firefighters
3. Identification of faulty products
4. Prosecution of people who set incendiary fires
5. Intervention with juvenile related fire play
Investigation staff is responsible for the investigation of structure fires, vehicle fires, any sus-
picious fire with no logical origin and cause, and outside vegetation fires. Our goal is to con-
tinuously improve training and teamwork with all of our partners throughout the investigation
spectrum.
Our inspection goals are very similar and are perfectly in-line with our mission statement as
well. Through coordinated efforts in code enforcement and public education, we strive to re-
duce the loss of life, property and possessions within our city. Two full time staff members
currently are assigned to the inspection division and perform code and safety inspections of
existing buildings, as well as being involved with new construction. Our main focus contin-
ues to be to educate business owners and their employees on the hazards that result when
we find conditions that do not meet the minimum requirements of the Minnesota State Fire
Code. Although it is very difficult to place a number on the amount of fires or false alarms we
have prevented, our 911 calls for both commercial fires and commercial fire alarms have
been reduced because of our efforts.
From Fire Inspector Jay O’Connell…
Fire Prevention Open House
The Lakeville Fire Department hosted its’ Fire Prevention Open House on the
evening of Tuesday, October 7, 2014 which is during National Fire Prevention
Week. The Fire Prevention Open House allows residents to visit fire station #4,
located near the center of the city, and learn how to be safe in their homes.
We brought in a trailer to show citizens how a kitchen fire can erupt into a large
fire, engulfing the entire kitchen when someone would add water to a hot
grease fire. Children were encouraged to practice a fire drill in the fire safety trailer and to see how
they would react when they open their eyes to find a smoke filled bedroom. While parents are waiting
for their children to escape out the window and down the ladder, firefighters advise the family mem-
bers to select a meeting place at a neighbors’ house. This allows firefighters to be notified that every-
one escaped from the house safely. Citizens also had the chance to use a fire extinguisher in a safe
environment, so they would be ready during a real emergency. This past year we promoted a kitchen
safety item called the Stove Top Fire Stop which is a canister holding fire extinguisher powder. The
canisters, which can be mounted above the stove, have a wick that will lite when there is a fire on the
stove top and activate the canister to slow the fire so that the resident can turn off the heat. The Fire
Department has been notified that the Stove Top Fire Stop has helped in controlling three kitchen
fires during 2014. The product can be purchased at local hardware stores and protect your stove
even if you step away from the kitchen for a moment. Our recommendation is that each residence
should have at least one 2A 10BC fire extinguisher.
Fire Prevention Month Fourth Grade Poster Winner
During Minnesota’s Fire Prevention Month in October, the Lakeville Fire Department schedules activi-
ties throughout the month to educate the community about fire safety and fire prevention. The Nation-
al Theme for 2104 was “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives Test Yours Every Month “.
The Fire Department held many activities for students at the city’s 12 elementary schools. These fire-
safety and prevention activities included the annual poster contest for fourth graders. We talked to
over 1,000 fourth grade students and presented the fire prevention poster contest rules. During the
contest, one winner was selected from each elementary school to receive a trophy and become one
of the city-wide finalists. From those finalists, Rebecca Tupy from Orchard Lake Elementary designed
the winning Lakeville fire prevention poster. Her entry will now go on to compete with other fourth
grade entries for the State of Minnesota poster contest.
On September 22th, the Lakeville Fire Department started visiting elementary school classrooms and
daycares and we completed 38 presentations by the end of October. Students were encouraged to
play some online safety games against their parents from the Minnesota State Fire Marshal’s Office
website under public-education and then interactive-games. Twelve firefighters took time out of their
personal schedule to help with the fire safety school activities.
This year, the fire department added additional Fire Safety Talks at some of the senior living buildings
where the seniors asked questions for the Fire Inspector and Fire Marshal.

NEW ROOKIES
Page 22
The Lakeville Fire Department hired 11 new firefighters in 2014. This group of rookies help
bring the department closer to our maximum staffing level. The new firefighters were hired
in August, where they started their initial department orientation. Since then they have com-
pleted their Emergency Medical Responder (E.M.R.) training and have also started Firefight-
er 1 and 2 training. New firefighters are required, in their two-year probation period, to com-
plete training for Firefighter II, HazMat Operations, and Emergency Medical Responder.
In May we held our 4th Annual Blood Drive at Fire Station 4. The goal was to have 68 units
of blood and we exceeded that with a total of 74 units. Cub Foods donated food for the vol-
unteers and donors. A special thanks to our blood donors and department members for their
efforts in making this a huge success which can benefit many patients.
