WILLIAM GLAD of Layton By GARY R. BLODGETT Is North Salt Lake ready for its own ambulance service? THE NORTH Salt Lake Firemens Association has announced its desire and intentions for its own ambulance and medical crew. According to one official, the firemen's association is already in the process of looking for a used ambulance to serve the city. But is another ambulance needed? I don't think so, not with six ambulances-an- d a seventh ambulance on its way--t- o serve 60,000 residents of south Davis County. FIRST,. LETS take a look at the associations point of view. Then lets devote space to opponents of the proposal-- or at least persons who dont quite see eye to eye with the firemens association. Richard Judd, a lieutenant on the North Salt Lake volunteer fire department and coordinator of the department's medical program, said the association is dead serious about getting its own ambulance if it's economically feasible. HE ADMITTED that the association got off on the wrong foot by writing letters to local merchants seeking moral and financial support. First, they didnt get the okay from the city council for the let- ter writing and second, they badly misrepresented the Davis County Firemens Association which has operated the south Davis County ambulance for the past 30 years. For example, the letter stated that the Davis County ambulance could not guarantee a response time of less than 20 minutes. BUT THE way the letter was written, it indicated that the minimum response time for Davis County's ambulance was 20 minutes. There couldnt be anything farther from the truth, and to indicate such made some Davis County officials very unhappy, to say the least. Mr. Judd was very apologetic to Davis County Fire Chief Brent Argyle for the associations blunder and assured the chief that the North Salt Lake Firemens Association would like to work very closely with Davis Countys Firemens Association which operates the Davis County ambulance service. IN YEARS past there has been friction between some officers in the two associations, which is probably the reason that the Davis County Firemens Association voted down a proposal recently to house one of the countys ambulances in the North Salt Lake fire station. I honestly dont know the root of the problem, said Mr. Judd, But as far as I'm concerned we are still willing to work with the County Firemens Association for one of their ambulances. MR. JUDD said there is a lot of desire for our own ambulance. We have 15 emergency medical technicians and we feel that we can operate an ambulance service as efficently and economically as Davis County. Our main concern is giving as quick of response time as possible to our residents. Mr. Judd said there are ambulances for sale in the price range of $12,000 to $14,000. BUT I feel that if we shop around, we can come up with one for under $10,000, he said. "We already have a commitment from a bank for $7,000 to be repaid over a term at $181 per month." Mr. Judd emphasized that all of the four-yea- r ambulances that association members have looked at to date have been large, ambulances, all in good shape. er I AM confident that if we can charge the same, or lower rates, than Davis County that we can receive enough revenue to pay for the ambulance, maintain it during the four years of operation, and pay our ambulance crews, said Mr. Judd. If we cant well get out of the business. We will not charge more than competitive ambulance services, nor will we be subsidized by the city in any way. according to the time of day, less than five minutes between 8a.m. and midnight and up to 15 minutes between midnight and 8 a.m. "But it would be a rare occasion, a mixup in communications or unable to find an address, that the response time would be anywhere near 20 minutes, he said. HE STRESSED that Davis County ambulance has provided the very best of ambulance service for nearly 30 years and we will not do anything to interfere with their service nor will we be unfair competition. Reduced response time is our main objective, he added. But there is no question but what an ambulance service would be a morale booster for the firemens association as well as local residents. IF IT takes a year to get what we want, well wait. Were going to do this thing right or not at all. And if there is sufficient reason given at a public hearing for not having the service, well not pur- ALSO, DAVIS County Chief Deputy Sheriff Floyd Dansie said the average response time for Rescue 15 to reach North Salt Lake is less than four minutes any time of the day or night. These response times are not just guesses, they are recorded times for each and every call that the ambulance or Rescue 15 makes into North Salt Lake. ITS DOUBTFUL that these response times could be reduced even with a home-boun- d ambulance. North Salt Lake admittedly could not staff a crew g around the clock. Thus, response times would not be much better than Davis County now provides. Also, its doubtful that North Salt Lake would handle Interstate 15 accidents. Inaccessibility to the freeway from North Salt Lake would probably give Davis Countys amublance and Rescue 15 a big jump on response time anywhere on the freeway system. NORTH SALT Lake officials would rely on at least 140 or 150 calls a year in which injured or ill are transported to a nearby hospital. The rate would be $45 to $55 per call, bringing in a net revenue of about approximately $7,500 a year-ju- st break even" if they can purchase a used ambulance at a "very reasonable price and keep their maintenance costs at a minimum. sue it. But is there a need, not just a desire, for an additional ambulance North Salt Lake? are six south Davis County at the present time. There are two ambulances housed in the Davis County main station, 400 North and 500 West, Bountiful; another is located in Farmington's fire station; Bountiful has two new ambulances that can be used if needed as a backup to an emergency or as a "cover" while the county ambulances are onn emergency call; and the Sheriff Departments Rescue 15 is a roving ambulance fok south Davis County. seventh ambulance has been purchased and will arrive at the main A station within to 90 days, according to Chief Argyle. this will enable one of the ambulanceSut the main station to be transferred to Woods Cross when that communitys fire station is completed. SO Haid CHIEF ARGYLE also noted that the average response time for an ambulance out of the main station to reach North Salt Lake is just over 6 minutes. This varies HE IS married to the former Patricia Jensen and they are the parents of six children. In his spare time he is active in church activities.
