To provide the highest standard of care on every incident the TFRD responds to and increase efficiency in operations, the following will be implemented and is mandatory starting 0700 hours,

8/5/24:

All TFRD staffed LCEMS Life Squads not assigned to incidents will log off LCEMS CAD at 0700 hours.

• TFRD IT will be at Stations 5, 6, 16 and 25s between 0600 and 0700 hours to swap IT equipment out for those rigs.

The following medic units at Stations 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25 (2) shall be logged in as ALS Medic Units on a TFRD MDT at 0700 hours with the following login: Medic Unit ID & Vehicle ID are the same, Unit Name:

• M3 TOFM3
• M4 TOFM4

• M16 TOFM16
• M18 TOFM18
• M19 TOFM19

DC Clapp will be at the RCOG at 0600 hours to monitor the changeover.

Starting 8/5/24, staffing will be set as 1 paramedic minimum per Medic Unit, Engine, Heavy Rescue & Truck

• Every effort will be made to staff all rigs with a minimum of 1 paramedic.
• Vector Solutions will be amended no later than 8/4/24 to reflect this.

The 6% paramedic differential applies to all in service Medic Units as stated in the Local 92 CBA section 2125.97.

All 13 Medic Units will be stocked with ALS medications and equipment equivalent to what the LCEMS Life Squads had.

• EMS resupply will be done through hospital lockers and the EMS bureau & oversupply until the vending machines can be programmed.

Fire and EMS reports will be completed in TFRD ESO per the current TFRD policies and standards. You are responsible for documenting all patient care provided and obtaining signatures as required.

The RCOG will dispatch all apparatus per TFRD and Lucas County EMS agreement set response plans for ALS Medic Units. If additional fire/EMS resources are needed, request them through dispatch the same way you currently do.

• ALS Medic Unit requests for Maumee FD must be requested specifically from Maumee FD since they opted out of the EMS agreement.
• According to the State of Ohio Pharmacy Board, if a host agency calls for mutual aid, the mutual aid paramedics can use the host’s drug stock if the medications are within the scope of the paramedic. Both parties need to complete an extensive EMS report explaining what happened and the need for the mutual aid.
• TFRD response plans will be monitored and can be amended as needed for department efficiency, need and operations.

TFRD will respond as the ALS Medic Unit to Washington Township.

• Washington Township is normally staffed with 2 personnel M-F 0800 – 1600 hours and their station will be toned out for all incidents.

All Medic Units will be called down to the Annex for inventory and supply on 8/5/24 separately.

The bariatric unit will be out of service 8/5/24. HoverJack devices for obese patients will be placed on M3, M18 and M21.
