New Supply System coming!

If you have been at station one lately, you have noticed that there is construction going on in the East hall. We hope to have the new supply system up and running in the next two weeks. The focus is on accountability, more to follow…..

New DiphenhydrAMINE packaging




We are no longer able to get Benadryl in the box packaging that we are accustomed to. The new packaging will be in a vial that will have to be drawn up before administration. The dose did not change only the packaging. Please make yourself familiar with this change.

New Staff Captains





We have added a position of Staff Captain. They will work with me on a daily basis on special projects such as, annual licensing of the fleet (due in August), rebuilding the evaluation process etc.. They will also work to take some of the administration load off the daytime supervisor allowing them more time in the field.
It is part of an initiative that we are working to allow for more proactive vs. reactive work.

Chris Spychalski and Clayton Goddard will be sharing this new role. They will alternate working two days on an ambulance and two days in the office.
