Show BEN LOMOND BEACON. Dec. 7. 1 978, Page 1 2 Calls keep county number of churches are nearing completion in the North Ogden and Pleasant View areas, some more than others. View Valley Baptist located on Church, Washington Blvd., has been under construction for the past few months and is expected to be ready for completion and dedication sometime in the spring of A paramedics serving public by and if all make it through the difficult course, the county will then have 11 paramedics. To get into paramedic school, Wood said that they must have an oral examination and interview with the school officials, along with an entrance exam. Then, to see if they can handle the rigors of being a paramedic, six physical agility tests are administered. The applicants must go through what it will be like to be a paramedic by carrying 40 to 60 pound boxes up a flight of stairs, carrying other firemen and a mile run. These are timed tests, and if they step on lines, or knock over items, seconds are added to their final score, he said. After paramedic school is successfully completed, then the men must recertify every two years. McBride said that most states do not require this, which makes Utahs program one of the best in the nation. Snce the program started in the county two years ago, McBride said that people have become more educated as to when they should call the paramedics. W'hen it first began they were calling us for every little cut and scrap. Last year alone the department received 2700 calls. With an average of 10 calls per shift, this year the department has increased their calls and will probably have somewhere in the neighborhood of 3400 calls at the end of Janet Smalley The phone rings. The muscles in two individuals go tense as they wait to see if it is a friendly call or one of someone needing their help. Rescue Eight, you have a 0 PI at 28th and Washington. Tune out, 18:42, the voice of the dispatcher booms out, telling the Weber County paramedics of an .accident during their dinner hour. So, once agam, they must leave, administering aid and assistance to county residents and much later coming back to a cold meal. In a little over two years, the Weber County paramedic program has progressed from the private company, the Rocky Mountain Paramedics, which used to perform the service, to one which is now operated out of the county fire department. These men are firefighters first, according to Chief Ken Hancock, and only are paramedics when calls comem. Response time cat Formerly, the paramedics were located in the Hotel Ben Lomond in downtown Ogden, and had quite a large response time to outlying areas in the 600 square mile county. Now, Rescue Seven is located at Station No. 4, 5635 Wasatch Boulevard, South Ogden, serving the southern end of the county. Northern county residents are served by Rescue Eight, located in Station No. 1, 1871 N. 1350 W., 10-5- shots, medication or drugs used. They are billed through the hospital emergency room, and then most of these costs are taken care of by the insurance company. Transporting of patients is not done by the county paramedics, as there is not sufficient manpower available to tie up these units. A private ambulance company is asked to respond to calls along with the paramedics and they perform this service. Hancock estimated that it would take an additional three modular ambulance along with 10 additional men to make this service available through the county. When the paramedics are not out on a call, they are then asked to train and become physically fit. Lieutenant Bill Cnddle, officer in charge on Shift B, is in charge of physical fitness, and has his men work out on equipment recently purchased, or some type of activity, usually during the hours of 3 to 5 p m. the days they are on. They (the paramedics) are firefighters first and paramedics second. They will not be able to serve the residents of the county as well if they are not physically fit. In fact, they can make their job more hazardous by not being in shape, he said. Don Winters, a fireman and engineer for the county, helps the men m the department to start their physical fitness program. He previously helped to ram the Tennessee Highway Patrol, along with the Memphis Fire Department before coming to Utah three years ago. Lieutenant Cnddle said that he allows the paramedics to get mto their shorts, or sweat suits to do their exercises, but if calls come in, they then jump into their yellow "turnout" gear instead of their usual navy pants and shirt. Citing the changes made m the fire department since April when Chief Hancock was appointed by the County Commission, Cnddle said that he has seen much progress in the department, especially with placing the paramedics back into the fire stations. He said he as served under 7 chiefs in the past eignt years he has been with the fire department, and has seen more good done to the department since Chief Hancock took over. lie just needs the support of the county commission to be able to continue our paramedic program and get the funding necessary to make it a lop service to the county residents," he said county There is an overlap though, between the two teams in Ogden city, but this gives residents double coverage in this area, Chief Hancock said. There are seven paramedics in the county who double as firemen. On each of the three shifts, Chief Hancock has placed one of their 15 Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's) to work with a paramedic. On one shift, there are three paramedics. The EMTS have been placed on the Rescue team to be able to give them experience to be better able to pass the paramedic training when it is offered," he said. Educating people Bill McBride, a senior paramedic, said that one good thing that has come from placing the paramedic program in the fire department is educating the people about this department. Now, they know more about what the fire department does as the chances they use the fire services is much less than the paramedics, he said. McBride is the liason between the paramedics and the fire department and has been with Weber County for three years, becoming an EMT two years ago. He has been a paramedic for approximately one year. Previously, he worked as a Roy volunteer fireman for seven years. "I'm not a paramedic for the increased money, because we really lose money when we go to paramedic school. He said that course taught during the intensive at Weber State College, the county pays their wages and the tuition while they attend classes. Most of the paramedics and firemen for Weber County, though, work at least one extra job to support their families, he said and during the schooling, they are unable to work their other jobs. They must maintain at least 80 per cent on all their weekly tests to stay in the course. Special skill "So. we really lose money by going to school But, I feel it is a special skill that one must have to be a paramedic, along with being dedicated." Another qualification, McBride dicd was a desire to help others. His partner on Shift B" of Rescue Eight, EMT Don Wood, has applied to be admitted into the WSC Paramedic School in January. Three others in the county fire department have applied for admission to the program. h raoctjh The first term honor roll for North Ogden Junior High was dotted with twelve students who received straight A s.
