Thank you and it sounds like there is good stuff happening. If it
helps, in Klamath we had a private ambulance for years and our
firefighters would jump on the rig and drive as well as assist in
patient care. I don't think we ever performed primary care though, and
it was Oregon.

Hello,
The Butte Valley Ambulance Service, Inc. and Dorris Volunteer Fire
Department did have a meeting to discuss issues and try and find ways to
mutually work together for the best patient care for the citizens of
Butte Valley. A draft plan was agreed upon and we are currently working
through the insurance and mutual agreements between the City of Dorris
(Dorris Volunteer Fire Department) and the Butte Valley Ambulance
Service, Inc.
We have another dinner/meeting scheduled for March 4th, 2010 at 5:30pm
at the Butte Valley Ambulance building. We have invited crew members
and all interested in finalizing the plan to have Dorris Volunteer Fire
Department EMT's that are available to jump on board the BVAS ambulance
when needed.
Gregg Surface, Dorris Fire Commissioner attended the BVAS monthly board
meeting to discuss issues going forward and to help facilitate
recruitment, training, and mutually working together.
As soon as more information is available and a formal agreement is
finalized we will let you know.
Thank you,
Heather Criss
Butte Valley Ambulance Service, Inc.

Thank you Dan, I appreciate the work you are doing and trust that your
diligence will pay off.
On another matter. I was able to attend the Dorris Fire annual banquet
and was treated to a fine dinner by an organization that showed a lot of
pride in their service to their community. Thank you Chief Frost for
the invitation. Also in attendance were personnel from Basin, and Butte
Valley Ambulance.
Since then, I heard that the Dorris Fire and Butte Valley Ambulance
people got together for a meeting. Can anyone provide an update on
this?

Dear All
We are still working on the scope of practice issue of Oregon personnel
responding into California. When I last sent you an email, we had made
a number of contacts with the state. They are being very helpful in
this matter. At this point our Medical Director, nurse clinical staff
and I have drafted a position based upon regulation, other state
documents and our "interpretation" of those documents. The position
deals with EMTs and Paramedics. Nursing issues are being dealt with
between us and the BRN, the nursing licensure authority.
While I wish there was an answer today to our questions, we want to be
extremely accurate. It seems as though these matters would be clearly
defined, but that is not the case.
When we have definitive answers I will let you know.
Thanks again for your patience with this important matter and bearing
with me.
Dan
