Increasing Manning on Fire and EMS Platforms in Killeen

The safety and efficiency of emergency response services are directly tied to the adequacy of their staffing. Recognizing this, our initiative seeks to increase manning on both fire and EMS platforms in Killeen.

• Assessing Staffing Needs: Conduct a comprehensive assessment of current staffing levels versus the demand for emergency services, to identify areas where additional personnel are needed.
• Recruitment and Training: Implement robust recruitment campaigns to attract qualified personnel and provide extensive training to ensure readiness for various emergency scenarios.
• Balancing Workload: Address the issue of overworked personnel by increasing staffing levels, thereby improving response times and reducing burnout among first responders.
• Budgetary Allocation: Advocate for appropriate budgetary allocations to support the hiring and training of additional fire and EMS personnel.
• Community Education: Engage with the community to explain the importance of adequate emergency services staffing and its impact on public safety.

By increasing manning on fire and EMS platforms, we aim to enhance the effectiveness of emergency responses in Killeen, contributing to a safer and more secure community.
