1
00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:07.679
<v Speaker 1>It is time now for our community connection right here

3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:10.599
<v Speaker 1>on K one built one you trust. Commissioner Mitch antel

4
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>in with is today from Washington County and good morning

5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>here kind certain happy new year do you.

6
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, mister Davis, Happy new year to you as well.

7
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.559
<v Speaker 1>Well. We had the swearing in ceremony yesterday, correct though.

8
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 2>That went well.

9
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 3>Judge Thomas were in our four electeds yesterday morning at

10
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 3>about eight thirty on the third.

11
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Floor of the courthouse just right his rain. Huh, yes, sir,

12
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 2>we'll speaking of rain.

13
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I understand we could get some weather that could be

14
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 1>coming down in the form of freezing rain. And as

15
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 1>a commissioner, you got a lot of things on your hands.

16
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 1>One is infrastructure and two is roads and a lot

17
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.039
<v Speaker 1>of other things that they go into the mix. But

18
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>freezing rain is just a crazy thing to try to combat.

19
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 1>How do you get your roague crews ready for that?

20
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 3>Well, you do a lot of prep work on vehicles

21
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 3>and equipment, make sure everything's ready to go just in case.

22
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 3>So you're kind of loaded down, ready to put down

23
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 3>in the ice situation. Salt sand mix of course, there's

24
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 3>sometimes where there's not a whole lot we are going

25
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 3>to be able to do.

26
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>That's some mails. It'll be freeze yet.

27
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Right, So we just continue to work through those things

28
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 3>as often as we can and hopefully we're as prepared

29
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 3>as we can be.

30
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's about all you can do. The other infrastructure

31
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>would be like if the electricity goes out. Something you

32
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>guys did and I thought was great was redundancies, investing

33
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 1>in at least you voted to invest in redundancies as

34
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 1>far as computer and things like that.

35
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 3>As far as yes, as far as our operations are

36
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 3>considered in continuity of operations. But additionally, what we do

37
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 3>is we partner with one of our local electrical providers

38
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 3>in as much as provides staging area for them. In

39
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 3>the event of a major storm or major event, we

40
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 3>stage electric providers contractors that may be used by multiple

41
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 3>electric providers are staged up at our fairgrounds and ready

42
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.840
<v Speaker 3>to deploy. Now, normally, if they're staged here, we're not

43
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 3>going to get the event they're staged.

44
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 2>Here for that reason.

45
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but there's other communities within the northeastern corner of

46
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 3>the state that allow those same things, so that coupled

47
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 3>with some aggressive what I will call aggressive by way

48
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.840
<v Speaker 3>of our electrical providers here in the community is their

49
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 3>right of way clearance, their maintenance of their facilities. So

50
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 3>when you see those guys out there working hard and

51
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.520
<v Speaker 3>clearing those lines off, just know that that means it

52
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 3>lessens the likelihood of you suffering an outage during these events.

53
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 3>And we're very grateful as a community for these entities

54
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 3>that come out and maintain their infrastructure the way that

55
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 3>our electric providers do.

56
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Now we're talking with Commitcher, Mitch Antele and Mitch. One

57
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.080
<v Speaker 1>thing that some folks might be new to the area,

58
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>freezing rain is not something that affects every part of

59
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the And as a person who came from the Great

60
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Lakes area, yeah, we get it every once in a while,

61
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>like once every four or five years. But down here

62
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 1>we're kind of in that hit and miss region where

63
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>it's either going to be snow or freezing rain, and

64
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.639
<v Speaker 1>it's really a different animal. And even though you don't

65
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.639
<v Speaker 1>have a foot of snow out there, you still have

66
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>branches that could break and fall on power line down

67
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 1>them and it could be a mess.

68
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Quarter of an inch ie.

69
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.560
<v Speaker 3>That's all it takes if we look at quarter of

70
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 3>an inch of ice, If we've got a storm of

71
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 3>that magnitude that's coming in and we're going to get

72
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 3>a quarter of an inch of ice, you're going to

73
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 3>have some implication of infrastructure failure, if you will.

74
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 2>At that point. It doesn't take a whole lot.

75
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 3>Now, when we're talking about driving, any amount of moisture

76
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.080
<v Speaker 3>on a road that freezes is insufferable. I mean, it's

77
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 3>just not something that gives a whole lot of grace

78
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 3>to the traveler. We see it most pointedly on bridges,

79
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 3>so elevated surfaces that don't have the protection of a

80
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.240
<v Speaker 3>roadbed underneath of them. You're just looking at a freeze

81
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.719
<v Speaker 3>ban structure gonna it's gonna freeze. It's getting cold from

82
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.479
<v Speaker 3>the top end of the bottom, and it's gonna freeze

83
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 3>before anything else. There's protections in place, but you don't

84
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 3>want to take your vehicle and ping pong across a

85
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.920
<v Speaker 3>bridge structure simply because.

86
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 2>Of you know, a tenth of an inch of ice

87
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 2>or less.

88
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Even Oh wow, Mike, recently we had a small breach

89
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>of security with the computers. I guess it was kind

90
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>of explained. It's a little complicated for the average person

91
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 1>when you hear a breach, you go, oh.

92
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 2>My gosh, exactly.

93
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.120
<v Speaker 3>It's it's one of those frustrating and infuriating things, and

94
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 3>it's not unexpected or atypical, especially around the holiday seasons.

95
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 3>To see government government type facilities, to see our systems tested,

96
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:56.680
<v Speaker 3>our networks tested, our computers tested. And what I mean

97
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 3>by test it is it's a great time for infiltrators

98
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 3>or bad actors to play with your system and try

99
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:08.480
<v Speaker 3>and figure out what's going on. We're managed, and I

100
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 3>say managed, we're tested literally tested on multiple levels, just

101
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of routinely. Oklahoma Department of Homeland Security, which is

102
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.839
<v Speaker 3>under Department of Public Safety, will periodically look at our

103
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 3>systems and our infrastructure make sure everything's everything's well protected.

104
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.480
<v Speaker 3>In this particular instance, it was a Homeland security office

105
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.600
<v Speaker 3>out of California, Federal Homeland Security that had tested our

106
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.360
<v Speaker 3>systems and found what they believed to be a breach,

107
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.240
<v Speaker 3>and that just immediately set our plan of action in

108
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 3>place as to, Okay, what's our response mechanism look like.

109
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.800
<v Speaker 3>The deficiency that we noted the board of kind of

110
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 3>commissioners noted as a result of that was we didn't

111
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 3>have a critical or an incident response plan in place

112
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 3>with our firewall services, so we will migrate to that.

113
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 3>But what we did was engage those services through a

114
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 3>third party contractor with our firewall provider.

115
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Over the weekend.

116
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 3>We conveyed that authority or I conveyed that authority to

117
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 3>our ORIT director, mister Naherd. She handled that on our

118
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 3>behalf and did a wonderful job with it, working with

119
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 3>the Sheriff's office. That's how our initial conversation began. It's

120
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 3>difficult sometimes to vet where these things are coming from

121
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 3>and to understand that.

122
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 2>So it takes relationships.

123
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.360
<v Speaker 3>So a phone call from California telling you your systems

124
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.279
<v Speaker 3>being compromised, that's I don't know this person, right, I've

125
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.959
<v Speaker 3>not dealt with them before. So these things come to pass,

126
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.519
<v Speaker 3>and it came to pass that it went through a

127
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs agent known to

128
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 3>this San Francisco DHS agent, known to DHS agent in Tulsa, and.

129
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.439
<v Speaker 2>To our undershare who knew these people.

130
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 3>So it's those relationships that that vet what you have

131
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 3>coming in, make sure it is what's what it is,

132
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.360
<v Speaker 3>at least gives it some credibility initially, then your IT

133
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 3>department begins there their.

134
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.399
<v Speaker 2>Query into your system to see what's going.

135
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 3>On, and again very low level couple of probing type

136
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.360
<v Speaker 3>attacks where they basically want to enumerate your system number

137
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.839
<v Speaker 3>it give you a numbered list of here's here's how

138
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.839
<v Speaker 3>many users, here's how many pieces of equipment, here's the

139
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.600
<v Speaker 3>topology within that network, so they can begin to know

140
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 3>reconnaissance mission, if you.

141
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Will, case in the joint.

142
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Case in the joint, there you go, I like it.

143
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 3>My Chicago came up, and then they move on from

144
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.079
<v Speaker 3>there if undetected. So in this case, they weren't undetected,

145
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.600
<v Speaker 3>and we've isolated and quarantined the area of compromise, and

146
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.399
<v Speaker 3>we'll move through the corrective actions necessary to make sure

147
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:04.240
<v Speaker 3>that doesn't happen again.

148
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Do we know who this was or what this was?

149
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.040
<v Speaker 2>No, we don't know who or what.

150
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.319
<v Speaker 3>I haven't received the final report yet from well for

151
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 3>a while.

152
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Normally it doesn't take him very long. You'd be amazed.

153
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Really, Yes, that's become much more efficient than it used

154
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.800
<v Speaker 3>to be. I expect we'll have a final final report

155
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:22.759
<v Speaker 3>sometime next week.

156
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.519
<v Speaker 1>Nice, very good. We're speaking with Mitch Channel he's one

157
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 1>of our commissioners here in Washington County. We've been talking

158
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 1>about a great deal of things. One of the things

159
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.240
<v Speaker 1>that comes up out of the meetings, it seems like

160
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>there's always something to be acknowledged or voted on with

161
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 1>the new Washington County Emergency Management Center, and that's going

162
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>to be a fine little addition to our county.

163
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.080
<v Speaker 3>It's a phenomenal addition to our county. I know that

164
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 3>there are some concerns that it's too large of a facility.

165
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.679
<v Speaker 3>That's that's kind of where I fall out is. It's

166
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.120
<v Speaker 3>it's not too large of a facility. It's what we

167
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.120
<v Speaker 3>need within the community. We've got a unique arrangement here,

168
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:08.879
<v Speaker 3>and we have got a very aggressive emergency management director

169
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 3>who operates well within the state of Oklahoma with all

170
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:16.519
<v Speaker 3>the other entities that are associated with emergency management and

171
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 3>those type of emergency responses. That facility will allow us

172
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:25.480
<v Speaker 3>a level of posturing and preparedness that we've not had previously,

173
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 3>and it will last long into the future. I call

174
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 3>that one of the tree projects. I'm planting a tree

175
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 3>so that the next iteration of me can operate more effectively.

176
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Does that makes sense? And looking ahead, we as a community.

177
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 3>Planted that tree, and that's the beauty of those kind

178
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 3>of projects.

179
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I've spent a lot of time in emergency management complexes

180
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:58.240
<v Speaker 1>in Florida during hurricanes and covering hurricanes. I mean not

181
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.200
<v Speaker 1>saying that we're going to get to anything that's going

182
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.360
<v Speaker 1>to last days in the way of a tornado or

183
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.679
<v Speaker 1>a heavy storm, but it's nice to know that when

184
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>everybody has to be in there, you can fit everybody

185
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 1>who's supposed to be in there in there correct. They

186
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>can be responsible for getting communications out to where they

187
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:16.639
<v Speaker 1>need to go.

188
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so that size is important. It is.

189
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.799
<v Speaker 3>And part of that facility is a hardened infrastructure type

190
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.639
<v Speaker 3>that is design if you will, it should withstand an

191
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:28.879
<v Speaker 3>e F for tornado.

192
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>So that's really and it allows.

193
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Us an opportunity. You know, our state Auditor inspector has

194
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:41.679
<v Speaker 3>been routinely I don't want to say pinging, but but

195
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.919
<v Speaker 3>letting us know that we could do better with regard

196
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:49.440
<v Speaker 3>to continuity planning as a county government. And their position

197
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.440
<v Speaker 3>now is what happens if a storm comes through and

198
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.159
<v Speaker 3>wipes out your administration building.

199
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:55.840
<v Speaker 2>What are you going to do? How are you going

200
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.279
<v Speaker 2>to continue your operations?

201
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.519
<v Speaker 3>This facility offers us the ability to basically just flip

202
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 3>a switch. We have equipment at the ready, so any

203
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 3>office currently housed administratively, so our treasurer, our assessor, our clerk,

204
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 3>our board, border county commissioners could immediately go over there,

205
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.480
<v Speaker 3>flip switch, and we're back up and running exactly.

206
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:25.240
<v Speaker 1>That's where the size comes in, correct. You may never

207
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.919
<v Speaker 1>need it. If you ever do, you're not going to

208
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:29.159
<v Speaker 1>be caught with your shorts down.

209
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, and it's not always just about that one time,

210
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.639
<v Speaker 3>big incident. We have a multitude of small incidents throughout

211
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.080
<v Speaker 3>the year. Yes, And for ease of operations and the

212
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 3>ability for a community this size to have let's just say,

213
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:51.720
<v Speaker 3>distribution points of whether it's food, water, prophyle axis, whatever.

214
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 2>It may be.

215
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 3>You know, we've got some sort of illness that's running

216
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 3>and we want to run a vaccine clinic or something

217
00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.039
<v Speaker 3>along those lines.

218
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>That's available.

219
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.759
<v Speaker 3>Not to say that it would ever be used, but

220
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 3>it's designed and how so that you can move vehicles

221
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:06.360
<v Speaker 3>in and out quickly.

222
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.399
<v Speaker 2>We could probably rotate a large portion of.

223
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.000
<v Speaker 3>The community through that facility in a very short period

224
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:17.279
<v Speaker 3>of time. With the warehouse facility toward the back of it.

225
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.679
<v Speaker 1>I keep thinking fires because by Olly, when those things

226
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:23.279
<v Speaker 1>go up, he's got a lot of land, you know,

227
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>and Lord knows how many resources you might need. It

228
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>runs out of the emergency center.

229
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:33.960
<v Speaker 3>We have a unique system out there with regard to

230
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.440
<v Speaker 3>our fire protection services at the county level.

231
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:37.639
<v Speaker 2>They're not.

232
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.159
<v Speaker 3>They don't have a specific response area. They're a secondary

233
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.639
<v Speaker 3>response to everybody that responds.

234
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:47.519
<v Speaker 2>So if we have a.

235
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.639
<v Speaker 3>Small rural fire department, volunteer fire department that's responding to something,

236
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.480
<v Speaker 3>they can go respond to back them up and that

237
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:57.720
<v Speaker 3>bolsters our ISO rating as well as provides for a

238
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 3>service within the community. And quite honestly, the county doesn't

239
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 3>put a whole lot of money into that. We give

240
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:07.679
<v Speaker 3>him some basic operations money just for that endeavor, but

241
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 3>they operate grant heavy off of that and community participation

242
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:16.639
<v Speaker 3>off of that. We've got several community entities that provide

243
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.240
<v Speaker 3>for those services regularly.

244
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.879
<v Speaker 1>And chandled is our guest here and commissioner. Anything you'd

245
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.519
<v Speaker 1>just like to say.

246
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 3>To encourage everybody to remain safe, especially with this weather

247
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:32.519
<v Speaker 3>coming in. Check on your neighbors, make sure your pets

248
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:36.840
<v Speaker 3>are cared for, drive safely and if you don't need

249
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.320
<v Speaker 3>to be out, and we do have some ice or

250
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:39.759
<v Speaker 3>snow on

251
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:41.039
<v Speaker 2>The ground, then don't get out.
