2022 annual report for the COMM FD in MA

https://www.commwater.com/wp-content/uploads/FINAL-COPY-ANNUAL-BOOK-WARRANT-2023.pdf

this document covers FD and Water Dept

there was some big problem with their budget - they entered the wrong
number and they had to cut spending for an entire year - they now have
approx $2M in the bank iirc - like a half year of spending

24 EMT + 2 advanced EMT + 27 paramedics

all firefighters are either EMT or Adv EMT or PM

3 fire stations - 4 IH / Horton class 1 ambulances plus 1 ALS equipped engine

average response time is 5 minutes OR LESS - no wrong - average
response time is either 5 minutes or some other number - no 'OR LESS'

Dive Team is a joint venture with Hyannis Dive Team

county has a Dive Team also

2 fulltime firefighters are trained as dispatchers - they fill in as
needed in the dispatch office

2 new parttime dispatchers were hired to fill in as needed - maybe a
new position in 2022 - maybe there were zero partttime dispatchers
befoe 2022

FD Dispatch Office is a secondary PSAP to the Barnstable Town Police
PSAP - in other words - if you dial 911 in the Town of Barnstable -
you will reach the Barnstable Town Police Dispatch Center - if you are
in the COMM Fire District and request FD or EMS - you will be
transferred to the COMM Fire / EMS Dispatcher

lots of other info in the report also
