Captain John Stockman invited me for the Ride Along and he was gracious to include Lexie. Lexie Yoder is my daughter. She's a Junior at Redmond High School. Thank you Redmond Fire Department. You guys are awesome!
"Approximately 70 percent* of the department’s call volume is categorized as emergency medical services related. It has become a community expectation that fire departments provide rapid, effective, and efficient response to emergency medical incidents. Redmond Fire Department employs approximately 145 emergency medical technicians (EMT's)and provides response services from six strategically located stations within the City of Redmond and King County Fire District 34." -- Council Memo
$909,000 is requested for funding the EMT's during 2009. The city bills King County Emergency Response Services for Basic Life Support services.
--3/3/09 Council Memo, Basic Life Support, 2009-13
*On my ride along, various firemen quoted 60%, 80% and 90% of call volume was emergency services related. The citizen isn't charged for transportation to a hospital when picked up by a Basic Life Support or Paramedic Vehicle.
