“It's even down to where these guys know that typically on Wednesdays there's more traffic and there's more accidents. …That's the kind of the metrics that they measure and then they keep that and then they try to employ based on those measurements to try to make sure that staffing is good all the time.”
According to CEO Jamie Chebra, the district is currently fully staffed. Chebra said the agency is in the process of expanding its staff with promotions and providing trucks with advanced and basic life support. “When you think about it, you're more likely to have a medical emergency as a person during the day when you're awake and out and about, at least that's what our data shows,” Chebra said. “We look at historical demand—like where were the calls, when were the calls, what were the calls—and try to place trucks in anticipation.”
ESD officials said the average response time for emergency calls in December 2022 was 8 minutes and 18 seconds. Average response for urgent calls was 8 minutes 47 seconds, and 11 minutes 14 seconds for non-emergencies.
