This report will provide you with insight into the operations and functions and demonstrate that we strive to meet the needs and expectations of the people we protect. It’s ever important that we respond quickly, competently, and compassionately. As you review the pages of this annual report I trust that you will be impressed with the depth and degree of the fire, rescue, and emergency services available to the people of Bedford County at the lowest attainable cost. As is illustrated in our Bedford County Community Promise, we are committed to providing quality services to the Bedford County community. I am proud of the accomplishments of all fire and rescue providers within Bedford County and you should be also. The members of these agencies not only provide outstanding emergency service but contribute to the welfare of the community in numerous ways as you will see in this report. The pure gift of service in hours by our most dedicated and professional fire and rescue volunteers is phenomenal. The vast array of service areas that are provided are the nuts and bolts of the system; training, recruitment, retention, fire investigations and administration all come together as a cohesive program to build up and support the community safety net that is expected by our citizens. A true concept of our service delivery is the concept of neighbor helping neighbor in their most desperate moment of need. Most Warmly, 3 Department Overview Bedford County Department of Fire & Rescue is currently lead by Chief Jack Jones, Jr. He has held this position for 6 years, and reports directly to the County Administrator. In this position he is responsible for all career members and over 750 volunteer members in all facets of Fire and EMS operations. The current organizational structure has a Deputy Chief for the Fire Suppression Division, EMS Coordinator for the EMS Division, Administration Manager and Administrative Assistant for the Administration Division, Fire Marshal, Chief Haz-Mat Officer and a Wild Land Fire Coordinator- Battalion Chief, as well as Recruitment–Retention and Marketing Specialist in administration; each of these people report directly to the Chief on a daily basis. The Emergency Management Division is responsible for overall coordination of non Law Enforcement Emergency Services for Bedford County. Emergency Services include volunteer fire services, volunteer rescue services, and other non governmental agencies such as the American Red Cross and Faith Based partners. In addition, this department coordinates countywide Fire and EMS training, pandemic planning, hazardous materials response and management, mass evacuation situations, nuclear biological & chemical emergency response and Emergency Operations Center (EOC) management. By county code it is designated the lead agency in response to all natural and man-made disasters in Bedford County. Other areas of responsibility include administration of the County volunteer Fire and EMS insurance policy, retention and recruitment of volunteers, performing fire scene investigations and liaison with other agencies and jurisdictions regarding emergency management. Bedford County is served by eleven land based fire companies and one marine based fire company. In addition, these agencies operate eight satellite stations to provide broader fire services coverage and an improved Insurance Service Office (ISO) fire protection rating. Bedford County provides funding for apparatus, equipment, operations, and training to ensure the highest level of readiness to the various communities of Bedford County. Property, vehicle, accident, health, and liability insurance are provided by a blanket policy sponsored by the County of Bedford for all agencies and members. Fire Apparatus is included in the capital improvement program (CIP). 4 Department Overview (continued) Bedford County has eleven rescue squads based in the County and is served by the Campbell County Rescue Squad, which provides primary EMS services to a portion of eastern Bedford County. These 12 squads provide basic and advanced life support to the citizens and are dispatched through the joint City/County E-911 Center which initiated Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) in February 2006. Bedford County provides funding for apparatus, equipment, operations, and training to ensure the highest level of readiness to the various communities of Bedford County. Property, vehicle, accident, health, and liability insurance are provided by a blanket policy sponsored by the County of Bedford for all agencies and members. A standardized ambulance replacement program is included in the capital improvement program (CIP). Bedford County Fire & Rescue is in it’s infancy in regards to development. Historically each of the 24 Fire & Rescue agencies worked independently of one another with little coordination or direction and control from the county government. Minimal standardization in training, equipment purchases or SOG existed. We now have standardization in major purchases such as apparatus, bunker gear and cardiac monitoring and equipment replacements are addressed in a master improvement plan. Annual fire academies are conducted and a system wide medical director is in place. A common communication system is in place and Standard Operating Guides are routinely developed and span the entire system. 5 Fire & Rescue Administration Jack Jones, Jr., Chief H. Lee Day, III., Deputy Chief Seth Mowles, FF/Paramedic - EMS Captain Janet Blankenship, FF/Paramedic - Recruitment & Retention Michelle Crumpacker, Administrative Manager Shelley Tillman, Administrative Assistant 6 Vision Statement To be leaders in our profession and serve as a role model for other Fire & Emergency Medical Services, and to be an organization that people are proud to be part of.

Bedford County is working to comply with these mandates. It is the goal of Bedford County to achieve 100% compliance with the mandates. Thus far, Bedford County has complied with a majority of the mandates. However, we are continuing to strive for 100% compliance. Bedford County’s 100% compliance plan is as follows: • The Bedford County Board of Supervisors adopted the NIMS on October 24, 2004. We are continuing to work toward increasing the awareness of the Private sector agencies / Nongovernmental agencies (NGA) to NIMS. • Bedford County has and will continue to manage all emergency incidents and preplanned events using the Incident Command System as defined by NIMS to include an Incident Action Plan and Common Communications Plans. • Bedford County currently coordinates and supports emergency incident and event management through the development and use of integrated multi-agency coordination systems. We have the appropriate facilities and equipment to coordinate with local command posts and Emergency Operations Centers (EOC), 911 Centers, and the State EOC. • Bedford County has a designated Public Information Officer that implements processes and procedures to communicate timely and accurate information through a Joint Information System. • Bedford County has established a community NIMS baseline and has coordinated and leveraged all federal preparedness funding to help implement the NIMS. 8 NIMS Compliance (continued) • Bedford County will continue to seek support in updating our mutual aid agreements with all of the necessary agencies and municipalities that will be needed to promote intrastate (via statewide mutual aid) and interagency agreements and cooperation. • Bedford County has and will continue to incorporate ICS 100 and 200, IS-700 and IS-800 in our training courses to ensure our personnel will be familiar with and have working knowledge of the NIMS. • Bedford County has and will continue to incorporate NIMS/ICS in all of our local, state and regional trainings and exercises, as well as having active participation in all-hazard exercise programs to include multiple discipline and multi- jurisdictional responders. • Bedford County has also incorporated corrective actions into our preparedness and response plans. • Bedford County will continue keeping an inventory of community response assets. • Bedford County will ensure that relevant national standards and guidance are utilized in equipment acquisitions; communication and data interoperability are all incorporated into local acquisition programs. • Bedford County also applies standardized and consistent terminology in our communication through the system by use of plain English communications

Although the annual cost of each CFD Rescue Squad is double the cost of CEMS ambulance, all 4 rescue squads combined transported only 1% of the patient volume during 2012, the last year that Rescue Squads provided patient transport services. Heavy and Technical Rescue Units across the United States Heavy Rescue or Technical Rescue Units are often elite units where members are specially trained in many disciplines such as rope rescue, scuba, swift water rescue, advanced auto extrication, and collapse rescue. Many are assigned to respond to every working fire and technical rescue incident. There are slight variations on this model, as illustrated by some examples below.

  • Hospice of St. Mary's
    Hospice of St. Mary’s Caring for Our Community JUNE 2018 A Letter from the Hospice Director Your Generosity Makes the Difference Thirty five years ago, the Medicare Hospice Benefit was created to ensure patients have access to compassionate, quality care at the end of life. This benefit has enabled Hospice of St. Mary’s to provide this much-needed care here in our local community. The benefit covers the care patients receive at home, or in a facility. What it does not cover, however, are the 24/7 services provided in a facility beyond the medical coverage. So while a home patient would not be responsible for any substantial expenses, if any, a facility patient is responsible for room-and-board fees. Some people have long-term care insurance that can help, but for the vast majority, this comes right from the pocket. Hospice of St. Mary’s is a bit atypical compared to other hospices in that we provide a sliding scale, based on need, for our community. This means that for those patients who cannot afford the full load of the room-and-board expenses at Hospice House, we are able to offer a reduced rate – and, in some instances, no fees at all – by covering the expense as “charity care.” The need is greater than you might imagine. In 2017 alone, we were able to offer $250,000 in free or reduced room and board, and $82,000 for those patients who had no insurance coverage at all – a total of $332,000. Kathy Franzen How can we do this? Frankly, it is through the generosity of you, our community Interim Hospice Director members, who make donations to support hospice.

  • Ambulance Service 2020
    Ambulance Service 2030: The Future of Paramedics Andy Newton Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD November 2013 ________________________________________ Abstract ________________________________________ Some innovations are termed ‘disruptive’, a designation that is normally applied to technology; examples include computers, digital cameras, and mobile phones. The term can also be applied to groups of workers, particularly if they are able to offer specific technical capabilities within a market at lower cost, but broadly equal and effective to that offered by traditional products or services. Paramedics could be described in this way and are a newly professionalised group, with distinctive capabilities in terms of responding to the needs of not just the acutely ill and injured, but increasingly those patients with undifferentiated non-life- threatening conditions, which increasingly make up the bulk of 999 call demand. The key to their transition from an artisan, skilled worker to professional status is the acquisition of certain ‘hallmarks’. Perhaps the most important of these is the completion of more prolonged education that affords the opportunity to graduate with enhanced decision-making and other clinical skills in order to meet the needs of the full spectrum of patients in the pre-hospital setting. Paramedics were surveyed to determine how they rated their ‘traditional’ preparation and to establish what their attitudes were to a more educationally based approach. Paramedics themselves proved to be realistic regarding shortcomings in established training and education systems, while also being strongly motivated to learn more i within a higher education setting, particularly if this additional effort would result in being able to offer a wider range of care to their patients.

  • Essex County Emergency Medical Services: Existing Conditions Report How Emergency Medical Care Is Provided
    Promising Solutions Government & Education | Economics & Public Finance | Health & Human Services | Nonprofits & Communities Essex County Emergency Medical Services: Existing Conditions Report How Emergency Medical Care is Provided February, 2017 Prepared for: Essex County and New York State Department of State Municipal Restructuring Fund Prepared by: Paul Bishop, MPA, NRP Project Director © CGR Inc. 2017 – All Rights Reserved 1 South Washington Street, Suite 400, Rochester, New York 14614 (585) 325-6360 • info@cgr.org www.cgr.org i Summary Introduction Essex County has identified that its current system of emergency medical services is in need of a long term strategic plan to improve its operations and set the system on a sustainable course. This project will lead to the development of a strategic plan and specific action plans for the county and several agencies that provide EMS in the county. CGR has collaborated with the county and area EMS agencies to analyze the existing operations of the EMS system. The baseline document will provide information to enable the leaders of the county and area agencies to develop options for improving the operations of EMS in the county and drafting plans to implement the changes. Throughout the planning process, members of the agencies as well as community leaders will have the opportunity to shape the outcome of the project to best serve the community. Essex County Overview Essex County is located in the northeast section of New York. The county has 18 towns and over 1,900 sq. miles of land area. The county is wholly located in the Adirondack Park. The population is estimated to be just over 39,000.

FDNY EMS’s policy OGP 106-24 issued 11/18/04 on requesting outside assistance is based on system wide availability of ambulances below 25% for a sustained period and excessively high call volume. Neither sustained period or excessively high is defined. Under the policy, calls for emergency medical aid can be held indefinitely. If there is an available ambulance in Staten Island it will be sent to cover a call in midtown Manhattan regardless of response time. In the event of a need for outside resources the NYC REMSCO Disaster Mobilization Plan is invoked and a call goes out to have other agencies notify FDNY’s Resource Control Center of their availability. FDNY Operations Chiefs and the NYC OEM Watch Commander are notified and a mobilization point is designated. It is only then that mutual aid resources might be assigned to respond to a specific 911 call. This is not an arrangement meant to facilitate going outside the system. More to the point, the NYC REMSCO disaster plan was never meant to replace day-to-day mutual aid agreements signed by NYC Health and Hospital Corporation’s NYC*EMS and thought to be still in effect.
