PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
We had a total of 26 calls for March.
1 Dispatched and cancelled en route
20 Medicals
3 Car accident with injuries
1 Downed power line
1 Public Service – other
26 Total
A Command vehicle did not respond to 4 of the calls for the month for a response
rate of 84%. Average response time for the month was just over 6.25 minutes. 10
of the calls had 3 or less responders minus the duty Officer. 1 call for the month
had only one responder, total.
Department drills for the month:
#1 – Quarterly Engineer Drill – truck maintenance and pumping (Engineers CEU)
#2 – Quarterly SCBA
#3 – CPR recertification
#4 – CPR make up drill with EMS back boarding drills
Points of interest:
• 5 Personnel began Fire Apparatus Operator training.
• One of Station 2’s personnel moved causing him to need to respond out of
Station One. This furthered the staffing gap at Station 2 as there are now
just 6 FFs at station 2.
• E2 was out of service for almost exactly half of the month due to a variety of
repair needs.
