About this Episode

Division Chiefs Richardson, Powell, Mullane and Pietrzyk answer questions that have come in and discuss their roles/share goals within their respective divisions of Line Support, HPO, Operations and EMS. This episode highlights training initiatives, including wellness programs and cognitive performance improvements. New EMS equipment has been implemented to enhance patient care. Staffing models and recruitment strategies are examined, alongside the EMS rank structure.

Questions include:

  • What are each of you focusing on in your respective divisions?
  • Would South Metro consider a lateral academy process again?
  • Is the EMS Rank Structure here to stay? Are there any changes being made?
  • Why does the dive station staffing model not include a hard staffed 4 divers at each station?
