Elk River Ambulance Presentation W Steve Dittb nn r r bulance Coordinator.
Elk River r Ambulance Coordinator Steve Di t nner reviewed the history of the Elk Fiver
Ambulance service. He stated that following recent meetings with City Administrator Johnson
new service delivery model that includes an emergency response vehicle will begin in - April
2014. The addition of this emergency response vehicle that goes out before the ambulance will
reduce response time by gating one emergency responder to the scene without having to wait
for an on call EMT to respond to the station. The Elk Fiver Ambulance is funding two
emergency response vehicles and has worked with Allina to schedule paramedics to staff the
vehicles. Mr. Dittbenner discussed the coordinating of 911 calls with Wright and Sherburne
Counties, Allina, and Elk River Ambulance. Wright County dispatch supervisors were part of the
meetings at which this change was discussed. Elk River Fire Chief John Cunningham and Allina
Medical Services Ambulance Coordinator Bruce Hildebrandt were also present. The City Council
thanked them for their efforts.
