Approve the Joint Powers Agreement Establishing the San Mateo Pre-Hospital <br /> Emergency Services Providers; (304) <br /> -- REPORT: Acting Fire Chief Montenero, August 12,1997 <br /> Mayor Hartnett said the Council had discussed this many times and had received a <br /> complete report. <br /> Councilman Claire said this JP A would put Redwood City firefighters fIrst on the scene <br /> with paramedic training and expertise, and it will be very beneficial to the citizens of <br /> Redwood City. <br /> Acting Fire Chief Montenero explained how this JP A would put a paramedic on each <br /> fire engine in the County and reduce response times for on scene medical assistance. <br /> There would be one paramedic in the ambulance and one paramedic on the fire engine <br /> which reduces the cost to the ambulance provider thereby reducing the cost to fire <br /> protection services which will pay for the paramedic on the fire engine. In response to <br /> Council questions, Fire Chief Montenero said he hoped Woodside would eventually join <br /> the JP A. He said paramedic training takes about one year and Redwood City is hoping to <br /> train 13 of its fIrefighters. <br /> Vice Mayor Howard reminded everyone that over 80% of calls to the fire department <br /> are medical emergencies so this training will be extremely beneficial. Chief Montenero <br /> said Redwood City fIrefighters and paramedics will be on the scene in an average of 3-4 <br /> -- minutes. <br /> REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTE BOOK NO. 55 AUGUST 25, 1997 <br /> MINUTES Page No. 513 PAGE 15 <br />
