Other Reporting Information:
- July was a busy month. One full time employee was out on light duty and a large part of our staff were gone for the month which made staffing difficult.
Those that were working did an amazing job filling holes and covering as best as possible.
- We changed the locks on the ambulance side of the building. Unfortunately we were unable to account for many keys from previous years and crew and
equipment safety was a concern.
- We continue to move forward with training on new equipment and protocols.
- We would like to bring on one additional EMT volunteer that lives here in Laurel and believe would fit in great with our staff. We are hoping to wrap up
some of the other new hires training and once they are cut loose will re evaluate our staffing numbers to determine if we want to bring on more staff.
- We have applied for an MDT grant for an ambulance, I believe we should hear back on whether we will be awarded this by mid October.
- We did receive permission from the state of Montana EMS & Trauma department to extend our waiver for fire drivers for another 6 months. It expired in
July. We will continue to work on ways to try and ensure we have good staffing and ability to work with the fire department staff for assistance. We have
not heard back on the grant for conducting a first responder class for them, I would anticipate this being announced anytime now.
