"The more people you have involved, the greater chance you'll have for the individual', survival," Wayne Morriss, man- ager of Kitchener-Waterloo Am- balance Service, said. Marries said the adoption of the tiered response system was one of the recommendations outlined by the Ministry of Health that had to be implemented before ambu. lance personnel could work to become paramedics. The Waterloo department re. ceived 1,427 alarms in 1988, of which 585 resulted from the tiered response system, the great. est source of alarms. In 1987, without tiered response, there were a total of 722 alarms re- ceived. Already trained in CPR (eardio. pulmonary respiration), firemen did not receive additional special training. Beforehand, trainers rode with the ambulance to be. come more familiarized with their operation and than were frequent meetings between de. partment personnel, ambulance and police. "It (medical aid) wasn’t anything new to us," John Staller, Fire Chief, said. When a vital sign absence NSA.) alarm is sounded the police, ambulance and fire depart, ment simultaneously respond. Whoever arrives at the scene rmst, administers aid. Previous. ly, the fire department did not respond if their equipment was not needed. noted in the 1988 Annual Fire Report compiled by the Waterloo Fire Department, recently pre- sented to Waterloo City Council. Other points outlined in the re port include the single fire death and above-average fue damage in Waterloo in 1988. Adopted last April, the Tiered Response System coordinates the efforts of the Waterloo Fire Ihr partment, Waterloo Regional Po. lice, and local ambulance service in lifethreatening situations.
