This is the lens through which we should view EMERGENCY RESPONSE and our local FD as the "primary responders." Just because we have a local FD (paid full-time or volunteer) does not mean we have the emergency services we need! Far too often, our "assumptions" about the fire service's capabilities far outstretch their actual abilities. Regarding firefighting, rescue, and EMS, as well as response times, staffing, and equipment, we may be shocked at what our local FD can and can NOT provide. The FIRST STEP in Emergency Planning is sitting down with the FD leadership on an ANNUAL basis to analyze our needs and their abilities to provide those needs in a TIMELY manner.
