Update on Training Record Management, (TRM), Program • RMS 1st On Scene is the TRM system the District is creating • It is being developed by RMS 1st On Scene, as we enter data into the system • The Training Division has to enter three years of records into the system, (an Insurance Services Office, [ISO] requirement), retroactively for an ISO audit next year • The records come from several sources, (about 5), and have to be translated into the RMS and entered by hand, (tens of thousands of records) • The system is very basic right now and managers, (like the Battalion Chiefs) really can’t build reports from it • The Chief does not want Training to worry about creating a report building process for managers right now – the focus is on the ISO report and ISO training hour totals • According to the RMS developer, it may take several months or years to have a report building feature that satisfies managers • The Training Division should be done entering the three years of past records within a few months 19.

L-381 The District can’t afford to front $35,000 for a class and then try fill it with paying students later Most of our target audience, (appropriate District employees), has been through it MCS curriculum must be formally adopted into expected practices and District documents, (i.e. SOPs) California State Fire Marshal, (CSFM), L-380 and L-381 are already industry standardized training, (and don’t require MCS to teach them) District will continue to host MCS classes at our facilities District will not be providing all front money for MCS classes
