(The background Council memos regarding that decision are attached.) <br />The fire department started responding to injury accidents on November 7, 2005 using already on-duty <br />personnel. <br />It was the goal to use this trial period to evaluate the overall impact on patient care when fire department <br />emergency medical technicians and paramedics responded to injury accidents. <br />The following statistics are from the trial period. <br />9 Number of fire department responses to reported injury accidents <br />9 Percent of time the fire department arrived ahead of Allina: <br />9 Number of patients assessed/treated by fire department personnel: <br />9 Number of accidents where FD personnel controlled hazards: <br />54 <br />88°/a <br />31 <br />17 <br />The fire department's response to injury accidents does not require a change in City Code. Wording in the <br />current Code provides for the police and fire departments to provide emergency services. <br />No additional budget allocation was requested to provide this service and none is needed to continue this <br />service. <br />This enhancement in medical care for Roseville residents and visitors is supported by the City Manager, the Fire <br />Chief, the Police Chief, and the administration at Allina Medical Transportation. <br />��= tl:c �i�;r� I ?' ���iinti �J �°lcc•I--�i'. 3�'L' 'yYl II F}L' ti��kir�� if�� �u��E;�rL �f ��ktt3�]f S� �lILi3�[t�'�G CEI� �T� ������'kmenE i�r .- <br />�L�artts i7ii� r�.��;on �i i�� kc, rc-��;;ri ��3 i � �� «r� a�et��,7is . <br />.� <br />
