CPR-AED

CPR-AED is an instructor-led course that teaches critical skills needed to respond to and manage an emergency situation until emergency medical services arrive. Skills covered in this course include first aid, choking relief, and what to do for sudden cardiac arrest in adults, children, and infants. CPR classes are held once a month at the Life Safety Park. Please note that this class does not provide the certification needed for some professions. To register, please click here and search for CPR.

Boy scouts | girl scouts

The Life Safety Park is currently devising a new policy regarding non-school related study trips. Starting this month in November, we will be offering consolidated courses that cover frequently requested scout requirements (such as first aid, meeting a first responder, and disaster preparedness) once per month. This monthly offering will occur on a day outside of normal business hours, such as weekday evenings or weekend afternoons. Due to this "block" scheduling, some scout groups may be combined with other similarly aged groups requesting the same course topic. Classes will be approximately one hour in length, and are capped at 45 students per session.

This schedule is TBA, but is based on request and instructor availability. Please inquire should you have any questions or class requests.

volunteer opportunities

Life Safety Park is seeking volunteers to help with school programming activities. Volunteers will be required to interact with the general public and with our student visitors in a friendly and welcoming manner. Volunteer services will be required in approximately 2-5 hour blocks, depending on that day's schedule.
Duties may include but are not limited to:

Front desk operations - Answering phone calls, Greeting and registering guests
Moving chairs/tables

Our Mission

The mission of the Coppell Fire Department is to serve the citizens and business community of Coppell by preserving life, property and the environment through the efficient delivery of education, prevention, public service, emergency response, code enforcement and administrative activities.

History

Beginning in 1957, the Coppell Fire Department began providing volunteer emergency response to the community of Coppell, Texas. In the past 50 years, the department has grown from a volunteer department to a fully paid professional staff with 1 Chief, 2 Deputy Chiefs, 1 Division Chief, 3 Battalion Chiefs, 12 Captains, 12 Engineers, 57 Firefighters/Paramedics, 1 Fire Investigator, 1 Emergency Management Officer, and 2 Administrative Services personnel. We operate out of 3 strategically located stations staffing 3 Engines, 3 Medics, and 1 Truck Company.

ISO Class 1 Rating

The City of Coppell Fire Department has once again received the Insurance Services Office (ISO) top rating of Class 1. This rating has been achieved by less than ¼ of 1 percent of fire departments nationwide. The ISO currently evaluates over 50,000 fire departments nationwide with only 186 earning the Class 1 Rating. The Coppell Fire Department has previously earned the Class 1 Rating in 2008 and continues to exceed the requirements for this prestigious classification. This rating reflects the hard work and dedication of all the Coppell fire fighters and their commitment to save lives and property.

Fire departments across the nation are rated by the ISO to determine a Public Protection Classification (PPC) for individual cities or counties. This rating is published by the ISO and used by insurance companies to determine insurance rates. The ISO Schedule develops a PPC number on a relative scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the very best and 10 representing less than minimum recognized fire protection. Most U.S. insurers of homes and business property use the PPC in calculating premiums. In general, the price of fire insurance in a community with a good PPC is substantially lower than in a community with a poor PPC.

When the ISO evaluates a fire department's capabilities it uses a system called the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS) which employs nationally accepted standards developed by such organizations as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International. The FSRS considers three main areas of a community's fire suppression capabilities including emergency communications (911 call center), the fire department, and water supply. In addition, it includes a Community Risk Reduction section that recognizes community efforts to reduce losses through fire prevention, public fire safety education and fire investigation.

Key elements considered when evaluating a fire department include response capabilities (deployment analysis) which includes adequate staffing of fire service personnel on engine crews and ladder companies, fire station distribution (location and coverage), appropriate apparatus and equipment, training, water supplies, organizational structure, communications and building/fire prevention codes and their enforcement.

The Coppell Fire Department's ability to maintain this classification since 2008 is a reflection of the City of Coppell's commitment to provide quality public safety services to the citizens, businesses and visitors of Coppell.

TFCA Best Practices Recognition

The TFCA Best Practices program provides a pathway for a fire department to push its level of service to a level of excellence that is validated by independent experts. The designation demonstrates to customers of these organizations that their fire department is among the very best in the Texas fire service. The Coppell Fire Department received this prestigious designation in 2014.

The ecoCoppell Green Team was formed in 2007. It is a multi-departmental committee that influences sustainability practices within the City of Coppell.

To ensure a desirable community, the City of Coppell will:

Commit to evaluate, comply and improve environmental standards;
Outline strategies to minimize impacts on the environment;
Protect natural resources by managing our activities;
Promote and continually improve the efficient use of resources;
Educate others;
Look for ways to live in a safe and healthy community; and
Lead as a proactive model within the region.

Early on, the Green Team focused strictly on the "environmental stewardship" dimension of sustainability. More recently, the Green Team has broadened the focus to include the "social responsibility" and "economic prosperity" dimensions of sustainability.

Recent Successes of the Green Team (2016, 2017):

A subcommittee assisted in the preparation of the Citywide Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan,
Purchased two bicycle fix it stations (one of which was installed in Old Town and one in a location yet to be determined in Andy Brown)
Implemented an organization-wide selfie challenge raising awareness of the ecoCoppell and promoting the use of tumblers in place of water bottles.
Using water coolers at city events (now lemonade/tea/water coolers) rather than water bottles.
EcoCoppell Fun Wheel at the Independence day celebration.
Tip of the Month added to staffnet and to employee newsletter.
New Staffnet Green Team page
Participated at Earthfest (gave away popcorn, T-shirts, reusable grocery bags, bicycle bottles promoting safety)
Organized a Green Day for city employees (purchasing expo of green products),
Held a meeting with the administrative staff and Staples vender to advise of green products and methods of procurement,
Give-Aways (herb garden, gift cards, coozies, tumblers, flash drives) promoting ecoCoppell and sustainable practices,
Each year, the Green Team gives an EcoCoppell Award to the person or Department that has demonstrated the most noteworthy sustainable innovations that year. In 2016 the City's Finance Department received the award and more recently, in 2017, the Fleet Services Division received it.
Participating in the onboarding process for new employees (Green Team Representative gives tumbler and information about the Green Team and EcoCoppell).

As an organization, the City has adopted several green policies throughout the years:

Idling Policy for City Vehicles:
Vehicle idling is restricted however, it is allowed for safety, emergency response, vehicle maintenance, equipment activity, warm-up/operations in cold temperatures, and manufacturer recommended minimum idle/warm-up times.

Environmental Management System (EMS):
An Environmental Management System is the City of Coppell's systematic approach to consider environmental impacts in routine decision-making and day-to-day operations, through establishing a framework for tracking, evaluating and communicating environmental performance.

Clean Fleet Ordinance:
The Clean Fleet Ordinance directs our efforts with regard to vehicle procurement, maintenance and operations. It is designed to lower the organization's impact on the environment, specifically air quality. A compliance reporting aspect is also included.

Purchasing Policy:
The City shall makes every effort to purchase and use materials, products and services that are economically responsible, that support the organization's economic, environmental and social goals and that reduce resource consumption and waste within federal, state, and local laws.

Solid Waste Ordinance:
The Solid Waste Ordinance directs the contract for citywide collection, hauling, and disposal of solid waste and processing of single stream residential and City recycling, including recycling yard trimmings.

Storm Water Management Plan:
The Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) addresses six minimum control measures as required by state regulations. The minimum control measures, when implemented in concert, are expected to result in significant reductions of pollutants discharged into receiving water bodies citywide. The six MS4 program minimum control measures are:
• Public Education and Outreach;
• Public Participation/Involvement;
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination;
• Construction Site Runoff Control;
• Post-Construction Runoff Control;
• Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping.

Stormwater Quality Management and Illicit Discharge Code:
This ordinance provides protection of the quality of stormwater runoff into the municipal separate storm sewer system.

Xeriscaping/Texas Smartscape Ordinance Amendments:
In January 2012, the plant palette of the Zoning Ordinance was revised. Additions and deletions were made to the plant palette based on water usage, drought & heat tolerance and disease resistance. This influences the plant types used in all non-residential applications citywide.

How can I obtain specific information on upcoming zoning cases?

Call the Planning Division at (972) 304-3678 and ask to speak with a planner on staff. The zoning cases are listed on the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council agendas posted in City Hall at least 72 hours prior to the respective meetings, and are published in the Citizens' Advocate newspaper. Planning and Zoning Commission Agendas, Minutes and Packets are available in the Public Document Database. The Agenda/Packet is available the Friday before the scheduled meeting.

Who is notified with regards to a zoning change request?

All property owners on the most recently approved tax roll located within 200 feet of the zoning change request are notified by mail at least 10 days prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. A zoning notification sign is also placed on the subject property 10 days prior to the hearing and remains on the property until the city takes action on the request.

What can be done if I oppose the rezoning of property within my neighborhood?

Send in your written opposition to the Planning Division prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The planning staff may be contacted to obtain detailed information on the case. A staff report is available the Monday before the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Encourage all surrounding property owners to attend the public hearing.

Can City Council overrule a zoning recommendation for denial forwarded by the Planning and Zoning Commission?

Yes. It would take an affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of all the members of City Council (6 out of 7) to overrule a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission that a proposed zoning change be denied.

How much opposition is necessary to require an affirmative vote of at least three- fourths of all members of the City Council?

What is the difference between the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance?

The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range plan intended to direct growth and physical development of a community for decades. The plan includes policies relative to physical development, transportation, parks and open space and economic development. It provides for the distribution and relationship of various land uses. The plan also serves as a basis for future development recommendations. Whereas, the Zoning Ordinance regulates the use of land and site development. It controls size of land area, size of yards, building coverage, height of structures, amount of landscaping, among several other things. Any violation of the Zoning Ordinance carries a penalty of up to $2,000 dollars for each offense.

Life Safety Park will be hosting an open house on October 14th to help celebrate and educate our community members on the different aspects of fire, and life safety. (flyer posted below) Here are some preparedness suggestions made by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): Draw a map of your home by using the NFPA g rid in English (PDF) or Spanish (PDF) with all members of your household, marking two exits from each room and a path to the outside from each exit Practice your home fire drill twice a year. Conduct one at night and one during the day with everyone in your home, and practice using different ways out. Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can't help them. Make sure the number of your home is clearly marked and easy for the fire department to find. Close doors behind you as you leave – this may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire. Once you get outside, stay outside. Never go back inside a burning building. For more information about Fire Prevention Week, and other fire safety tips check out the NFPA website.
