RESOURCE WORKLOAD ANALYSIS

The Fire Department's Strategic Plan for Fire Facilities and Resource Deployment is a plan designed for the management of Fire Department facility modifications and resource deployment necessary to accomplish the Fire Department's mission to the Year 2009. The Strategic Plan contains criteria for the deployment of resources. Workload is one criterion, along with response times, simultaneo~~sly occurring incidents, and land use. In an effort to maximize performance and minimize response times, control of resource workload is very important.

In April 1988, the City Administrative Office (CAO) completed a Management Audit of the Fire Department Paramedic Service. The Audit reviewed the Fire Department's entire EMS system. Based on this analysis, the CAO recommended maximum emergency response workloads for Paramedic rescue ambulance resources. Further, the Fire Department presented workload guidelines for other Fire Department resources which were accepted by the CAO. The recommendations were intended to prevent the degradation of medical services caused by excessive workloads. The maximum recommended workloads are as follows:

Engine (Single-Engine Station) 240 maximum responses per month (240 monthly = 7.9 per shift)

Engine (Task Force Station) 300 maximum responses per month (:300 monthly = 9.9 per shift)

Paramedic Rescue Ambulance 350 maximum responses per month (350 monthly = 1 1.5 per shift)

BLS (EMT) RescueAmbulance 420 maximum responses per month (420 monthly = 13.8 per shift)

Based on the number of responses during April, May and June of 2008, the following Department resources are exceeding the workload guidelines:

Engine or Light Force companies at single-engine stations (17): Engines 6, 7, 13, 21, 34, 41,46, 51, 52, 57, 59, 65, 68, 81, 82, 91, Lt. Force 102

0 Engine or Light Force companies at task force stations (5): Engines 9, 209, 39, 64, Light Force 64

Paramedic Rescue Ambulances (6): Rescues 33,46, 57,257,64,66

BLS Rescue Ambulances (3): Rescue 81 1, 857,864

With the addition of 33 Paramedic M ' s since January 2001, the number of Paramedic M ' s exceeding the workload guidelines has been reduced from 22 to just 6.
