EMR Update

VFBV has written to the Chief Officer expressing significant concern about CFA’s failure to address issues relating to the Emergency Medical Response (EMR) Integrated Brigade Pilot and requesting his intervention. 

In addressing the VFBV Annual General Meeting, the Chief Officer has responded by committing to chairing a meeting of the EMR Committee to get things moving.

 

VFBV last year pointed out the apparent exclusion of volunteers from the EMR pilot that started at five integrated Brigades in September 2011, but little or no progress has been made since; with no volunteers trained at the integrated brigades, no additional volunteers trained in EMR at the volunteer brigades since late 2009, no EMR equipment for volunteers at integrated brigades and qualified volunteers not included in EMR Crewing at integrated brigades.
