One of the first projects i undertook was to implement paramedic Level Services its the highest level of service we can delive in the field its the first time in the history of the Reno Fire Department weve been able to deliver that level of service. Up to this point the Reno Fire Department had provided advanced emt Level Services which is great and requires about 250 hours of education and training. The difference with paramedical Level Service is that paramedics bring in an additional 1500 hours of training and experience to the field. Often the Fire Department is first on scene. And having advanced Life Support Services on board can make a big difference in the field. One of the few things we can do as paramedics in a pre hospital setting is lessen suffering, so now we have some extrea tools in our tool kit. We gcan give them pain medication, we can alleviate that suffering and if theyre waiting for a time before they al the difference in their experience en route to the hospital right now two Engine Companies are offering these services. The ultimate goal i believe is that every time you see a Reno Fire Department piece of apparatus it will have a paramedic on it to provide advance life support capable service. And the hope is to continue to expand this level of care. Which is possibly some and the hope is to continue to expand this level of care. Which is possibly some Community Paramedicine where some of our paramedics are out in the Community Helping do some things that arent correlated to traditional care like preventative healthcare, follow up healthcare for seniors after theyre released from the hospital, those types of things. Right now there are more than two dozen firefighter paramedics with the department. Engine Companies One and 21 are currently providing these services. And the program will expand to others in the coming months. Noah . Thank you chris. Lets turn our attention to th weather and more storms heading our way.

To keep them in place. The Commission Voted in december that solar customers, need to pay more per month, to support the electrical grid. They also voted customers should be paid less for the power they put back into the power grid. The Nevada Bureau of consumer protection, asked the puc to stop or delay the rate change, but the commission denied this request. Do i have a second . Second. Aye aye aye. Motion passes. The rates are still going to kick in and it probably will have to take a lawsuit to try and change this around that that is a travesty commissioners say they have to lookout for all nevada utility customers. And solar customers are only 2 percent of the customers in nevada. They say they made the vote for the other 98 with the decision. Saying it has forced thousands of people out of their jobs. And also makes it nearly impossible to finacially justify a solar system. The campaign trail is heating up. Hillary clinton is taking the gloves off on bernie sanders.
