St. Johns County Fire Rescue 2014 Annual Report St. Johns County Fire Rescue 2014 Annual Report Chief’ s Report: Carl A. S h ank , Fire Rescu e Chief “For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are cer‐
tain to miss the future.” President John F. Kennedy Having graduated high school in 1984, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do, namely following in my father’s foot‐
steps by becoming a police officer. First, I would pursue a criminology degree and then move on to choosing a law enforce‐
ment academy to start a career, whether federal, state, or local. One evening in 1985 while at home on summer break, my friends and I came upon a horrible car acci‐
dent on A1A in the middle of Guana State Park. One car overturned; four people ejected into the scrub oaks and palmetto, two are obviously deceased and the other two extremely critical. As for me‐‐‐well let’s just say I was as about as useful as a fire hose with no water! I watched in amaze‐
ment as first responders from various St. Johns County agencies converged on the scene and treated the wounded. Two victims of the accident were saved that evening; one person who stopped to help was indelibly changed. I announced to my parents the next day that I would be withdrawing from Florida State University to change my career course to become a firefighter‐paramedic. And since I am 1 In November 2014, SJCFR received a site visit from the Insurance Services Offices, Inc. (ISO), to evaluate the Department and deter‐
mine our Public Protection Classification (PPC) number. This number reflects the com‐
munity’s fire protection services and estab‐
lishes the appropriate fire insurance premi‐
ums for residential and commercial proper‐
ties. We are expecting the official ISO report in 2015 and will address any changes they may recommend to help continually improve as your Fire Rescue Department. In closing, during 2015 citizens in St. Johns County will be asked to consider changes in revenue to address the future of County services in our great area. I hope that you will A key component of success in the fire take the time to learn more about this in rescue “business” is a solid plan for the order to make an informed decision. If I can future and an openness to change.

I am honored to identified as third fastest in the U.S. As a serve you and to provide you with this annual report, and hope that you have a wonderful result, Fire Rescue Station 18 began construction in June 2014 and is slated to and safe 2015! writing this Annual Report message as the Fire Rescue Chief, then you already know the rest of the story! open April 2015. This station will not only serve the Nocatee area, but will also be an integral response element for the Ponte Vedra Beach, Palm Valley, Palencia, and St. Johns (Northwest) areas of the County. Another change started in 2014 was the approval to combine Fire Rescue Station 5 (St. Augustine South) and Station 11 (St. Augustine Shores) into a modern station centralized within this region. Both of these stations are in extremely bad condition and need replacing. By centralizing the new station location onto US1, fire rescue appa‐
ratus will be ready to serve the entire re‐
sponse district and save money on both construction and operating costs. Land was purchased on US1 in 2014 with construc‐
tion due to start Fall 2015. Carl A.

Operations The Operations Section of St. Johns County Fire Rescue (SJCFR) is the emergency re‐
sponse branch, and is currently led by Op‐
erations Chief Kurt Kaunath. Career first responders consisting of 275 firefighter/
paramedics and firefighter/EMT’s provide professional public safety services to St. Johns County residents and visitors experi‐
encing acute medical emergencies or trau‐
matic injuries; response to structural, vehicle and wildland fires; extrication of victims trapped in motor vehicle collisions; mitigate incidents involving hazardous materials; and provide specialized rescue services including trench, confined space and ocean rescues. Organizationally, SJCFR has 16 stations cov‐
ering 608 square miles staffed 24 hours a day, with personnel organized into 3 Battal‐
ions each day. With fire and emergency medical services training an extremely im‐
portant component for all of our firefight‐
ers, the Operations Section is also home to the Training Division with five assigned staff members responsible for Department edu‐
cation, preparation, and instruction. We are also fortunate to have a collaborative effort with the St. Augustine Fire Department to ensure a seamless level of services through our EMS response and automatic aid agree‐
ment. SJCFR is a regional leader in emergency medical care. We were one of the first De‐
partments in the State of Florida to adopt the groundbreaking Induced Therapeutic Hypothermia protocol for victims of cardiac arrest, which is a procedure that slows brain metabolism and gives a resuscitated patient 6 Operations Section  267 assigned personnel Number of Stations  16 Daily 24 Hour Staffing  3 Battalions improved chances of surviving the event and recovering functional status. SJCFR also has worked with area hospitals to bring the STEMI Alert system (for heart attack victims) and the Stroke Alert protocol for stroke victims to our County, both of which have saved lives and greatly improved patient outcomes. This last quarter the State recognized our Department as 1 of 11 Counties who have a Falls Prevention Program out of 67 Counties in Florida. Con‐
cerning trauma care, the Department works closely with our local specialized hospitals and air ambulance services to deliver critically in‐
jured victims to regional trauma, pediatric and burn centers.  89 First Responders Type of In‐Service Apparatus  10 Advanced Life Support Transport Units  14 Engines  3 Heavy Extrication Engines  2 Ladder Trucks  4 Tankers  6 Brush Trucks  2 Mobile Air/Rehab Units  1 HazMat Response Unit  2 Mobile Decon Units  1 Mobile Mass Casualty Unit  1 Technical Rescue Unit  4 Marine Response Units  3 Command Units Firefighting efforts take on a myriad of ap‐

The Department deploys many different types of apparatus including engines, aerial ladders, tankers and brush units. SJCFR utilizes the incident command system to instantly employ action plans that strategically, tactically, and safely handle a major emergency event. The Department has also entered into automatic aid agreements with St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Clay County and Flagler County to share resources for structural fires and other major emergencies. Operations
S p e c i a l O p er a ti o n s Special Operations is a branch of person‐
nel strategically located at various sta‐

nance. St. Johns County Fire Rescue has 44 positions assigned to 4 divi‐
sions with the Support Services Sec‐
tion, currently led by Assistant Chief Jeff Prevatt. Financially, St. Johns County Fire Res‐
cue operates several budgets funded through both a Fire District Millage assessment (currently at 1.4 mils) and ad valorem property tax. Fees are also collected through a variety of mechanisms which include EMS trans‐
port billing, plan review fees, special event fees, and permit fees. EMS transport billing must follow strict rules for insurance and Medicare re‐
imbursement rates which the Depart‐
ment can collect. Fire Rescue Communications Division is the entry point for most citizens and visitors needing SJCFR assistance throughout St. Johns County, includ‐
ing the City of St Augustine, the Town of Hastings and the City of St. Augustine Beach. The Communica‐
tions Center is staffed 24 hours a day with State of Florida certified Public Safety Telecommunicators who are also dual certified in Emergency Medi‐
cal Dispatch. Communications Center personnel are trained to instruct CPR EMS Transports Amount Billed $9,749,683 Contractual write‐off Insurance and Medicare $994,070 EMS Transports Amount Collected 14 $4,347,464 and provide medical pre‐hospital in‐
structions as well as the coordination of response to fire, hazardous materi‐
als, marine rescue and other special‐
ized rescue events. The Communica‐
tions Center is equipped with Com‐
puter Aided Dispatch, Enhanced 9‐1‐1, advanced mapping systems with GPS locator ability for cell phone users and 800 MHz radio communications. All Communications Officers maintain ongoing training to continue to pro‐
vide the most advanced assistance to the public and our first responders. As a growing county, the Fire Preven‐
tion Division has seen a marked in‐
crease in activity over the past several years whether it is for new or existing building inspections, plan reviews for commercial activity or developments of regional impact, and the investiga‐
tion of fire cause, origin, and possibil‐
ity of arson. Fire investigations are impor‐
tant in determining accidental fires versus arson and are conducted along with the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office as needed. Concerning fire inspections, the Department follows both County and State laws which includes checking exit access areas to ensure persons not famil‐
iar with the building can easily find a safe way out in the event of an emergency, fire extinguisher selection and accessibil‐
ity and other various fire/life safety con‐
cerns. During these inspections, the De‐
partment also takes the opportunity to educate the public on why the fire code exists and how it benefits them. To pro‐
tect those most vulnerable, annual inspec‐
tions for licensure renewal is required on all day care and assisted living facilities in the County. Additionally within the Support Services Section, the Logistics Division has the im‐
portant responsibility of keeping the De‐
partment stocked and running. This in‐
cludes: apparatus, rescue and firefighting equipment, medical supplies, station sup‐
plies and uniforms. Maintaining all of this equipment can be a monumental task that is accomplished utilizing both County and private entity resources to keep emer‐
gency response assets available to re‐
spond 24 hours a day. Logistics is also tasked with supplying and coordinating maintenance needs at 16 fire rescue sta‐
tions located throughout the County.
