Consultant: emergency-response study expects same or improved service; tabletop exercise planned
Summary
NC Fire Chiefs Consulting reported the emergency-response study expects the level of service to remain the same or improve; consultants said Wilmington Fire Department data is pending, only 154 of about 50,000 annual EMS calls fall in the affected area, and a September tabletop exercise is planned.
Andy Sannipoli of NC Fire Chiefs Consulting told the Bridge Replacement Committee that the emergency-response study expects "the level of service would remain the same or be improved" during the bridge project. He said the team is waiting on Wilmington Fire Department data to generate a baseline level of service.
Sannipoli reported that out of roughly 50,000 EMS calls in a year, only 154 are attributed to areas affected by the project. He said the group is coordinating with the Coast Guard to have any rescues brought to Bradley Creek Marina and hopes to conduct a tabletop exercise in September to test response times.
