provided data regarding average response times for the same period. For the CFD response time, I used the response time provided in the Springsted report.

Alarms and Hazardous Condition Calls In 2012, there were 96 incidents and in 2013, there were 120 incidents that fell into the categories of: Hazardous Condition (400 codes), Service Calls (500 codes), Good Intent calls (600 codes), and False Alarms (700 codes). Staff spoke with other suburban fire agencies as well as other fire professionals to determine which of these calls could be handled by a duty officer instead of paging out a full crew. Of the 96 incidents in 2012, 64 incidents (66%) and of the 120 incidents in 201.3, 87 incidents (72%) could have been handled by a police officer assigned as a fire duty officer. Conclusion By following the protocol recommended by the Medical Director of North ambulance, medical incidents requiring a full crew would have been reduced from 346 to 119 in 2012 (a 65% reduction) and 39.1 to 139 in 2013 (a 64% reduction) with no reduction in service.
