Review the assigned readings, and the article about reducing the use of red lights and sirens in the course materials, and choose one of the following questions:
- Read this article about dynamic deployment. Do you agree with the author? Why do you think the author is advocating this position?
- Read this article about the Southside Fire Department adopting a new deployment plan. Based on your reading, do you think this plan will be successful? (You may also wish to read the article from the question above)
- Read this article about the Phoenix Fire Department Paramedic engine deployment model. What are the pros and cons of this type of deployment model? Why might fire departments that provide EMS want to emulate this model?
For any of the choices, you may find it useful to review the NASEMSO 2020 National EMS Assessment.
