"Maintaining Local Fire and Paramedic Services: Meeting today’s Challenges"
- 84% of 911 calls are for medical assistance, and the count is on the rise.
- For the past 10 years, the emergency calls had a 50% increase while the response staff only had a 5% increase. More paramedics resources are needed to quickly respond to rising medical emergencies.
- Outdated Community systems. Currently, the 30-year-old communication tools in use are facing being outdated and incompatible with current technology and are expensive or near impossible for repair and services.
- Needs to upgrade emergency tools and medical response equipment and fire fighting equipment.
- It’s been over 20 years since there has been a local funding measure dedicated to emergency services
- We need to renew our commitment to safety to meet today’s challenges.
- Additional funding would enable us to increase firefighter/paramedics on duty–as demand for emergency medical services just keeps growing
