County consultant visits, CAD data work and planned demos aim to finish EMS/fire study by April
Summary
Commissioners said the consultant team spent several days visiting stations, holding public meetings and collecting incident/CAD data; staff plan vendor demos for interoperable dispatch software and are targeting April for a final report.
Commissioners received an update on the county's EMS/fire study. Speaker 5 said consultant staff (Frank, Karen and David) spent nearly five days conducting station visits, one-on-one interviews and public meetings, and are still collecting incident reports, budgets and CAD data needed to finalize the analysis.
Speaker 5 said consultants will continue working with Michael and Jason on CAD data and expect to conclude with an April final report. As part of improving interoperability and reducing radio traffic, staff plan a demo of vendor software used in other counties that integrates with 9-1-1 and field tablets.
Why it matters: the study is intended to produce recommendations for staffing, dispatch and system design amid growing call volumes and mixed career/volunteer coverage in the county.
Next steps: departments should provide outstanding incident reports and budget documents to consultants; staff will arrange software demonstrations to test compatibility with the county 9-1-1 center and CAD.
