Denver firefighters waited more than 10 minutes at a scene for Denver Health paramedics nearly 8,000 times in 2021 and waited more than five minutes on roughly 16% of medical calls last year, according to data obtained by Denver7 Investigates.
Denver7 Investigates previously reported that Denver firefighters were prevented from using some advanced life-saving techniques while on the job. That policy is now in the process of changing. “That’s a problem,” said Denver City Councilman Kevin Flynn, when seeing the data. “Why can’t we get there?”In a statement, Denver Health called the database “misleading as it does not always accurately represent the response time for Denver Health paramedics or the actual time that it took for a Denver Health ambulance to arrive on the scene of a particular call.”
In analyzing radio communications, Denver7 Investigates came across multiple calls at 6:42 a.m. on Dec. 1, 2021, with fire crews asking for updates on ambulances. Per those radio calls, there were no ambulances available for three Denver residents who needed emergency help. All three calls were within a 4-mile radius.
