<br />Councilmember Heineman asked if there is a percentage of calls on average that require more than <br />two responding firefighters. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kohner replied that he does not have that average but could review the calls received to <br />determine the number of larger incidents that required more than two members. He noted that <br />there are some types of calls that require more than two members. <br /> <br />Councilmember Heineman commented that this is a smart model because of the decreased <br />response time and guarantees that two members would respond right away. He asked if it would <br />make sense under this model to split the pagers into two categories to reduce the chances that too <br />many members respond. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kohner stated that the City is split into two sections and each section is designated to <br />either station one or station two.

He stated that it would not seem appropriate to <br />City Council Work Session / April 27, 2021 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br /> <br />
