County contractor finishes interviews for fire‑EMS study; draft expected soon
Summary
County staff said the vendor conducting a multi‑year fire and EMS study has collected data and completed interviews; a draft report could be ready for the study committee within about a month.
County staff told the intergovernmental meeting that a contractor working on a multi‑year fire and EMS study has completed the difficult work of collecting departmental data and conducting interviews with fire chiefs.
Staff said the vendor, the Public Policy Forum, has an internal draft under review and that county staff are meeting with the contractor to address outstanding questions. County staff estimated a draft report could be provided to the study committee—which includes fire chiefs and government representatives—within roughly a month, after which the committee will review and finalize a public report.
Why it matters: the study could identify options for regionalization, resource sharing, or other structural recommendations that affect fire and EMS delivery countywide.
County staff emphasized that the project experienced delays while assembling consistent data from multiple fire departments, but that the consultant has the information necessary to produce the draft report.
