RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT a presentation highlighting significant emergency medical incidents within the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District in 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District is an "all hazards" fire and rescue organization that provides fire suppression, advanced life support emergency medical response, technical rescue, water rescue, and many other services to nine cities and the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In 2014 the Fire District responded to a number of significant incidents in challenging and varied environments and that often included out-of-the-ordinary circumstances. This presentation provides a look back at some of those incidents, highlighting partnerships, training, prevention, and excellent patient care.

As we enter 2015, the Fire District looks forward to exploring ways to expand on that service to more positively impact the lives of the citizens of Contra Costa County that we proudly serve.
