ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Data August 3, 1995 SUBJECT: Vehicle Extrication Franchise Applications DEPARTMENT: EW eMaxy MananemeQt PUBLIC HEARING YES NO x ATTACEMEENTS INFORMATION CONTACT Applications Nick Waters, Ext 3030 TELEPHONE NUMBERS Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel H111 %7-9251 Mebane 227-2031 Durham US-7331 PURPOSE: To consider franchise requests in accordance with the County Franchise Ordinance from Chapel Hill, New Hope, and White Cross Fire Departments to provide vehicle extrication. BACKGROUND: As part of the Rescue Service Needs Assessment conducted by County staff, representatives of the two rescue squads, various fire depardo�ents, and the EMS Medical Director, it was determined that vehicle extrication (the removal of injured parties that may be trapped inside the wrecked vehicle) should be provided initially by the fire departments with backup from the two county rescue squads. The fire departments currently respond to an wrecks requiring extrication be performed. Their purpose has been a fire prevention function. During the Needs Assessment, it was pointed out that since fire departments are geographically distributed throughout the County, in most cases their arrival on the scene is much earlier than either of the two rescue squads. The fire departmients now provide patient care through their first responder program and by allowing them to perform extrication, the patients potentially could be freed firm the wreckage with emergency treatment being provided by the time rescue and EMS services arrive on the scene. In cases of severely traumatized patients that are entrapped or pinned in the vehicles, this service should have a positive affect on patient outcome. The concept of fire departments providing vehicle extrication has been reviewed, discussed and is supported by the EMS Advisory Council, and the two volunteer rescue squads. EMS staff have reviewed the applications for franchises and fwd that all the franchise requirements of the ordinance have been satisfied. RECOMMENDATION: the Manager recommends the Board approve the franchises for rescue service (vehicle extrication) to be provided by Chapel Hill, New Hope, and White Cross Fire Departments. 2 APPLICATION FOR AMBULANCE RESCUE OR MEDICAL FIRST RESPONDER FRANCHISE ORANGE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Date of Application: 5/25/95 I .
