Purpose:

 

To establish guidelines for transferring apparatus and personnel during Ski Season to maintain the highest level of readiness possible for the increased Station One incident volume.

 

Policy:

 

Typical staff allocation shall consist of two career personnel at each station. One primarily assigned to EMS and the other to Fire.

 

Once the Station One EMS Crew responds for an incident, the Station Two EMS Crew will stand-by until a transport decision has been made by the Station 1 crew. If a transport is going to be made, the Station 2 crew will transfer non-emergency to Station One. For this purpose a crew will be defined as an AIC (Attendant in Charge), a Driver, and a transport unit.

 

Depending upon the volunteer staffing for the day, components of the fill in crew may come from the mountain. If possible a full Volunteer Crew should respond from Station Two in order to maintain complete Fire/Rescue coverage. Use officer discretion.

 

Fill in crews will report to Station One unless they need to deliver a driver to the pending call.

 

When filling quarters, the crew will remain available for calls until released by the appropriate personnel.

 

This policy will be implemented by Administration based upon occupancy and weather and will end upon their request. It is possible that this policy will be in place for all of January and February.
