THERE ARE PLANS TO RESTRUCTURE THE ALBUQUERQUE FIRE DEPARTMENT. MAYOR TIM KELLER SAYS THE CHANGES WILL ALLOW A-F-D TO MORE EFFICIENTLY RESPOND TO CALLS…AND PROVIDE TARGETED CARE TO UNDER-SERVED AREAS OF THE CITY. A COMMUNITY PARA MEDICINE PROGRAM WILL BE CREATED TO PROACTIVELY VISIT AT-RISK COMMUNITIES AHEAD OF AN EMERGENCY CALL.
THERE WILL ALSO BE ADMINISTRATIVE CUTS AT THE TOP OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SO MORE MONEY CAN BE SPENT FOR ON-THE-GROUND SERVICES.
FIRE CHIEF PAUL DOW SAYS THE NEW STRUCTURE WILL ALLOW THE DEPARTMENT TO DELIVER SERVICES IN A MORE EFFICIENT MANNER.
