We began our EMS service in the 1950's providing basic first aid, evolving into the paramedic level o.f service in 1979. Currently, we provide first response medical assessment and treatment at the advanced life support level and tran.qportation to local hospitals and trauma centers. Our annual budget is $13.3 million. We have 139 full time employees, with 5 more being added to the roster in June, 2002. We operate six (6) paramedic rescue vehicles with (2) in reserve for back-up and maintenance with cellular phone/fax capabilities.

Other resources are provided under an existing countywide mutual aid agreement. Grant History: Briefly describe your current and previous grant awards for the past three years. Explain how this application does not conflict or duplicate them. In the past three years, the Delray Beach Fire Department has received grant awards that would enhance our medical equipment and response. We have added cardiac monitor/defibrillators, I.V. Pumps, Capnography units, AED's and a Special Events Response Vehicle (SERV) to our service. If necessary, you may attach additional pages to complete sections 8 and 9. 2 10. Project Need Statement: The Dekay Beach Fire Rescue Department's service area is 18.1 square miles, including Delray Beach, and the Towns of Gulfstream and Highland Beach. According to the 2000 Census Report, the population for our primary service area is 64,511, with 36 % of the population over the age of 55. Data analysis of Delray Beach Fire Rescue Department Medical Records for Calendar year 2001 indicates there were 9,036 medical responses. Of these responses 1,686 or 18.7 %, required 12 lead monitoring and or electrical intervention for serious arrhythmias. Over the past several years, the City of Dekay Beach has been homing an ever increasing number of Special Events. Several of these events are held in an urban, congested area where several roads are closed to vehicular traffic with thousands of pedestrians filling the streets and sidewalks. In 2001 Delray Beach Fire Rescue provided EMS site coverage for over 20 events with the three largest being; The Delray Affair, The Chris Evert Tennis Tournament and the Citrix Tennis Tournament. These three events brought 11. an estimated one million visitors to the City ofDelray Beach~ (Attendance data provided by the Chamber of Commerce and the City's Parks and Recreation Department). The additional seventeen events brought nearly one and one half million visitors to the City. Currently, we are using two Special Events Response Vehicles (SERV) to provide rapid access first response at these events. These SERV units were acquired through the Pall Beach County EMS grant program and one of them is ALS equipped. Delray Beach Fire Rescue is requesting funding to upgrade the new SERV unit to ALS capability. We will use these funds for an equipment package to include one Zoll M Series 12 lead ECG Monitor / Defibrillator with pacing capabilities, SA02 monitoring and Non-invasive Blood Pressure monitoring capabilities, One AutoVent 3000 2.0 Automatic Transport Ventilator, and one NovaMetrix Tidal Wave 610B stand alone Electronic Capnography unit. The City of Dekay Beach Fire Rescue Department is committed to purchasing all other equipment needed for the upgrade. Project Outcome Statement: With the upgrade of the SERV unit to ALS capability, we will be able to complete our goal to provide ALS First Response to all areas impacted by these Special Events which are increasing in number and volume of visitors each year. With this upgrade we will strategically place units in the Eastern area near the ICW; in the Central area east of the FEC railroad tracks; and in the Western area near Old School Square. This will allow us to. provide extensive ECG diagnostic, monitoring and Electrical intervention capabilities to patients suffering a Cardiac Crisis 100% of the time. With the attendance at these events collectively approaching 2.5 million visitors per year, and the several downtown area streets closed to vehicular traffic, the need is clearly identified for the upgrade of the SERV unit to ALS capability. The SERV units have been shown to be an effective means of delivering, timely medical care at these events. The Quality Management Team and Medical Director, through run times and medical record review, will monitor the program to ensure rapid assessment and appropriate interventions are being accomplished.
