3 Message from the Fire Chief JOHN PICARELLO T he City of Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue Department is pleased to present our 2013 Annual Report. On the following pages you will find information from each of our six divisions which include Operations, Training, Fire Prevention, Rescue, Logistics and Public Safety Communications. Each section provides interesting facts, figures and general information about our goals and accomplishments. Some of the highlights of 2013 include the hiring of seven new firefighters to replace recent retirees. We also conducted the Battalion Chief s and Captain s promotional exams. Our organization continues to take the necessary steps to accomplish our objectives to reduce the risk associated with fires. In 2013, the number of people attending public education presentations significantly increased from 14,578 to 19,698 attendees. We responded to 22,046 total alarms which was almost a 3 percent increase from 2012 while reducing our Fire Loss Per Capita by approximately 33 percent from $19.88 to $ Our total number of EMS calls was 18,912, of which we transported 10,464 patients. Also noteworthy, is the fact that we responded to 78 Code Blue alarms and achieved a rate of ROSC (Return of Spontaneous Circulation) to the Emergency Department of 23 percent which is almost double the national average. In 2013 our Fire Department and Fire Department personnel continued to support programs such as CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams), Teen CERT, the Firefighter Explorer Program and Santa s Express. We also provided CPR training to over 1,000 residents and recertified over 200 Fire Department personnel in Advanced Cardiac Life Support. With regard to 911 Communications, in May the Board of Broward County Commissioners agreed to fund a Regional 911 System and subsequently our City Commissioners agreed to become part of the Regional System. They approved our Dispatch Center to be the host site for the South Region and in July, we successfully migrated from our Vision Air CAD system to the County s Printrak CAD system. At this point, I encourage you to read on and become more familiar with our Fire Rescue Department. As always, we are here to serve and I welcome your comments, suggestions, and feedback. 3
