Eagan Fire Department Annual Report

458 Words2 Pages

On behalf of the Eagan Fire Department, it’s my honor to present to you the 55th anniversary of history. The information contained in this book is an accumulation of data and photos that past members have created for our milestone anniversary dates starting with our 25th anniversary in 1988. I have had the privilege of essentially growing up with the Eagan Fire Department. I still recall the day in 1970 when Eagan Fire Trucks showed up in our neighborhood in northern Eagan. The “Firemen” would go door to door in our neighborhood in attempt to recruit more volunteers to staff the new Fire Station two. I was so excited and proud that my Dad decided to join the Eagan Volunteer Fire Department; little did I know that this day would have such …show more content…

Many of the comments reference our department “facing great change” or “dramatic growth”, 2018 will be a year of many changes, but will be no different from earlier years. In the 1970 Eagan Fire Department Annual Report, Chief Schultz states, “If Eagan is to continue to grow, the various (city) departments must grow accordingly.” He was absolutely right! Just like the past changes, in 2018 our organization is changing to meet our growing community. The city is experiencing our largest growth valuation in the commercial-retail area in Eagan’s history. To prepare for these changes, and to make sure that we are providing the highest level of service to our community, we completed a staffing study in 2017 by Citygate Associates. The recommendation is for the fire department to transition towards a staffed department, made up with more full-time staff, and some part-time staff. The term paid-on-call firefighter will go away. This staffing study has been embraced and approved by the Mayor and City Council. One of the phases would be to take charge of all medical/rescue calls in our community, along with our ambulance provider. This will add over 4,000 more calls to our call volume, something we could never do with our paid-on-call staffing

The Montpelier Fire Department is responsible for providing for protection and emergency medical services to the city of Montpelier, state capital and anchor of central Vermont commerce. Though the listed population for the city is just above 8,000, the daytime number swells to roughly twice that, as state employees, business owners and tourists work in and visit our city.

Reports from the WHO has revealed the increased visit towards the emergency rooms as well as outpatient care with minimal information aligning to the establishment of a recruiting and hiring process. According to McHugh (2013), “the increase accounting to approximately 47 percent within the emergency regions have left the given healthcare institutions short staffed, which has led to major wait periods and nurse burnouts”. Such instances are not only aligned to inappropriate attendance but also diminish care access due to the projected burdens and stress from the increased number of patients. While the amount of work increases within the specific healthcare institutions, the provision of the Affordable Care Act will then call for appropriate management and personal inclusion to ensure that the general satisfaction rate is maintained with a suitable look at the general affair and status of the caregivers and healthcare
