Please see our release about staffing needs in Akron. facebook.com/share/1AcSge4D… #330forthe330

Staffing impacts emergency response. When companies are comboed: Fewer firefighters arrive initially Units respond from farther away Medic units tied up at hospitals delay the next call About 95% of calls are EMS. This isn’t convenience. It’s public safety. #330forthe330

A typical shift for Akron Fire Fighters is 120–150 calls. Yesterday’s high winds pushed that to 244 calls for service. With 4 of 13 companies combined and office staff staffing a ladder, B & D shifts and our dispatchers answered every call. Staffing matters. #330ForThe330

🚨 What Are “Comboed Units”? 🚨 Most people assume a fire station has both an engine and an ambulance ready to respond at the same time. Sometimes… that’s not the case. Staffing matters. Akron is too big of a city to run Combos. #StaffingMatters #PublicSafety #330forthe330

This morning, firefighters from L8, E8, E2, E3, E14, along with B2, B4, and Ch4 responded to a structure fire. Crews quickly brought the fire under control and conducted searches of the structure. No civilians or firefighters were injured. #330forthe330

⏰ Don’t forget — clocks “spring forward” tonight! When you change your clocks for Daylight Saving Time, take a minute to check the batteries in your smoke detectors, too. 🔥 Working smoke alarms save lives and give your family the early warning needed in a fire. 🚒

Last week, B shift crews responded to a vehicle collision with a pole. Utilizing air bags, L12 B successfully lifted the vehicle and extricated the patient. Akron paramedics transported the patient. Exceptional teamwork lead to a favorable outcome. #alwaystraining #330forthe330
