District Reports $158,420 in December Ambulance Revenue; Grants and Training Updates Given
Summary
Deputy Chief John Clark and Assistant Chief Kevin Smith told the board about recent and pending grants, ambulance revenue of $158,420.30 for December, 121 911 calls and 63 IFT transports in December, and training/SkillBridge participation.
At the Jan. 27 meeting the Fort Mohave Mesa Fire District reported December ambulance revenue of $158,420.30 and a fiscal year-to-date total of $979,369.53, Assistant Chief Kevin Smith said.
Smith told the board that December saw 121 emergency 911 calls and 63 inter-facility transports (IFTs). He also said parts expenses were elevated for the month — roughly $10,000 — due in part to a blown turbo on an ambulance in Victorville.
Deputy Chief John Clark summarized grant activity: the district did not receive a $60,000 Legacy Grant, received a $5,000 FM Global grant for fire pre-plan software, submitted an application to the Arizona Highway Safety Grant for $30,000, and filed a $43,000 Firehouse Subs request for CPR devices.
Chief Chris Pardi reported via Zoom on personnel training: recently promoted Battalion Chief Dan Dimick completed a 48-hour ride-along split between two Phoenix Fire Department battalions, and two captains are attending a nationally recognized heavy rescue extrication course in the Phoenix area. Pardi also noted the district has a participant in the Department of Defense SkillBridge program, Tanner Cook, who will complete EMT program training before running IFT calls while remaining employed and paid by the DoD.
Pardi said he will be in Queen Creek assisting firefighter enrollment in the National Firefighter Cancer Registry, and mentioned a proposal in the Arizona State House that would eliminate property taxes for people over age 62. After review, Pardi said the district does not currently have demand or resources to run a car seat program.
No formal action was taken on the operational and grant updates; staff will continue grant pursuits and training activities and report back as appropriate.
