Project Objective
Assess the efficiency and capacity of Colton Fire Department’s deployment mode for fire, rescue, and Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
Final Recommendations
Addition of a fire department response resource; the option of adding a paramedic squad at an existing fire station offers a high level of efficiency at a relatively low cost.
Paramedic squad would be a dedicated crew in order to acquire maximum benefits of the additional response vehicle.
Efficient location to place the paramedic squad would be Station 214: highest call volume; highest number of high-severity EMS calls by district; and highest amount of concurrent call events.
