Creating Efficiencies through Staffing & Technology
Glendale Fire Department, CA
The Glendale Fire Department has created tremendous efficiencies through strategic staffing and technology. The department is focusing on the ever-growing need to respond to medical emergencies. To do so, the Glendale Fire Department is increasing the number of paramedics on engines and using iPad apps to instantly give information to hospitals while patients are being transported to hospitals. The changes are not only better serving the community and ensuring public safety, but also saving taxpayers $2.5 million dollars.
