Benefits of the EMS Levy Passing
With the passing of the EMS Levy in November our voters authorized a small tax increase to help fund 2 Daytime Position giving the day staff some different response capabilities. As of January 4th we were able to put Airway Heights Squad 1 (AHSQ1) in service. This allows staff that are filling the new positions to respond to emergency calls that are deemed less emergent by dispatch in a much more efficient way!
Within 6 hours of putting the Squad into service we were dispatched to 2 calls that happened moments apart. The squad was able to continue into the first call and the Engine was able to respond to the second one.
Burn Restrictions
Burn Restrictions are not currently in effect and here are the rules relating to recreational fires.
