    EAS is hiring a Field Supervisor for its Brea location

    Your correct. There is a 48 every three weeks. The schedule is nearly identically to the Kelly's used by fire and matches with the 24-hr. schedules used in our FD contract ares. And, it would be very unlikely that a supervisor would not be able to get sleep. I doubt that exhausting would...

    Placentia Transition with Lynch

    jgmedic, the City of Placentia's choice was based on cost, and not on the delivery model. There was never a push to get away from PAUs, medic vans or squads. Notwithstanding, the transportation component falls under the County's scope of influence and they have remained consistent county wide...

    Privatized EMS in Placentia CA

    Good question. I haven't seen same situation in over 35 years in EMS, but our business is constantly evolving. For Lynch the financial incentive for BLS seems to be in the form of the subsidy they will receive from the City. The contracted BLS transport provider (whether it's EAS or someone...

    Privatized EMS in Placentia CA

    Yes. We had medics for many years and we may reimplement our program. We are the BLS transport agency through June 2020 and are in the RFP process at present. We are certainly hoping to stay as the transport provider. We've been doing it in Placentia for 25 years and it's been a pleasure...

    Privatized EMS in Placentia CA

    Hi. EAS is not losing Placentia. We are still the emergency 911 transport provider for the city and we intend to remain their provider. The contract for Placentia (and also Yorba Linda and some unincorporated territory) is administered by the County HCA. It's a completely separate animal.

    Privatized EMS in Placentia CA

    Hi. Just to offer a couple of points of clarification. 1. The first thing our CEO said at the council meeting was that we would have liked to have submitted a bid, but that the numbers did not match up for us and that is why we did not respond. The very last thing he said was that neither...

    BOX OR VAN?

    We're running 95% Type III mods because they're required in our 911 service contracts. Our vans are great for our exclusive IFT business. However, mods are still our #1 choice because they give us flexibility to run both 911 and general transport calls. The other benefit of having them is...

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - I don't check the EMT Life threads often enough...

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - I don't check the EMT Life threads often enough. We do not direct hire to our 911 units, however, all of our EMTs get opportunities to run with the FD. You just get more if you are on a fire car. So, the answer is - No, we don't require the new EMT...

    Yes. We recommend you do. Sometimes, and especially when we get candidates who have been working elsewhere doing exclusively IFT we notice that they have forgotten some of the skills/protocols they would be more likely to use here. I'd recommend you thumb through your EMT book and look over...
