quote:If EMS is turning a profit and BRFD is basically broke then why isn't the FD being put under EMS instead of vice-versa? Put the EMS administrators in charge of BRFD.
Makes a TON of sense and will save the taxes payers money, which can then be used to improve EMS.
Still think it's a great idea Chief?

It's like this in all the suburbs in Texas. All firefighters here are EMT certified though. Becoming a firefighter in Texas is a two year program.

I feel like this is the argument the EMS administration should be having, but they aren't doing anything to fight it. Very strange...

When it comes to life or death situations I would rather spend too much money than not enough.
Problem is that BR doesn't have any money. So who's money are you spending?

Not really sure why anyone thinks the standard of care will go down.
Where places have private run EMS (Acadian) a fire department taking over transport service is a great thing, and can provide MUCH better care than those.
I dont have much exp in a parish run ems system, though.
