June Report

 July 11, 2022

For the month of June the EMS Division handled a total 113 calls. We had 95 calls for a 1st due unit, 20 calls for a second due unit, 7 calls for our third due unit, and 2 call for our fourth due unit. The EMS Supervisor responded to 14 calls and the Duty Chief responded to 1. The department wide EMS training for the month was a walk through of Kitchen Kettle Village. Kitchen Kettle is a very popular tourist spot in out first due. During peak summer travel season it can see over 1,000 people a day and we respond to several EMS incidents there weekly due to the high volume of traffic. EMS staff got to get a walkthrough of the entire property including the hotel rooms to get familiar with the layout of the property. Crews were also informed of emergency action plans provided by their staff incase of the incidents. Kitchen Kettle does have their own on site first aid team which handles the initial care unit the arrival of our units. Once the walk through was complete our members broke up into smaller groups and completed a “Scavenger Hunt” where they were given a map of the property and clues for a location. Once they arrived at the location they were given a medical emergency scenario and had to work through it before given their next clue. Several members also individually completed continuing education for their certifications. Our EMS Division handled 3 EMS standbys during June. The QRS handled a EMS Standby for Lancaster City’s 5 mile run fundraiser. The second event was for an EMS standby for Heritage Days at Intercourse Park. The third event was another standby assisting Lancaster City for their Celebrate Lancaster event.

For the month of June the Fire Division handled 9 calls for service. We had 8 calls for the Engine Company, 3 for the Truck Company, 2 for the Squad, and 0 for the Special Unit. The Duty Chief responded to 3 calls and the EMS Supervisor to 0. The first department wide fire training for the month was joint training with the EMS division and Fire Station 45 (Kinzer), which walk through of Paradise Elementary School. This walk through provided our members with getting familiar with the school incase a fire or EMS incident were to happen. School staff showed critical fire and EMS awareness points like locations of the sprinkler system, emergency evacuation plans, AEDs, onsite nurses office, and many more things. Several evenings and weekends throughout the month we had several members also train on driver and pump qualifications to get clear as driver/operators on the Engine. The Fire division handle 2 community events this month. The first was for the Tower at Heritage Days at Intercourse Park. The Tower was on standby for a static display and offered bucket rides. The second event was helping Keystone Church with their VBS kickoff party. The Tower was on standby for a static display as well as offered bucket rides for the kids and assisted with a candy drop.
