• Fire Service Duty Crews
-The Duty Crew model is working well and has enabled the department to adhere to the social distancing guidelines by reducing the number of firefighters responding to the Station at one time. Crews are working on truck checks, maintenance on small tools and equipment and facility cleaning when not responding to calls.
Response times have dramatically reduced as well. Duty crew is arriving on scene 5 minutes, 42 seconds sooner on average than the previous model.
