¿Todavía responder a los incendios ya?
31 de octubre, 2012¿El Condado de Contra Costa Distrito de Protección contra Incendios siguen gastando una cantidad considerable de tiempo y recursos en respuesta a los incendios? Sí lo hacemos. Aunque la mayoría de los incidentes de emergencia ahora nuestros implican algún tipo de servicios médicos de emergencia (EMS) respuesta, que aún pasan mucho tiempo frente a incidentes de incendios. The fire service has evolved into an “all hazards organization” to better support the overall emergency response needs of our community, but fires still occur and we spend a significant amount of time putting them out.
A recent analysis of our emergency incident response indicates that while EMS incidents comprise over 70% of our annual call volume, and only 4% are fire related responses, the amount of time we spend responding to EMS incidents only accounts for 50% of our total emergency response efforts. Since fires require more time and more resources and personnel to control, the 4% call volume for fires actually represents 29% of our total emergency response efforts.
