4 Message from the Board It is with great satisfaction and on behalf of the Board of Fire Commissioners of that I deliver our 2013 Annual Report to the citizens of our community. For our elected Board of Fire Commissioners, 2013 represents the first full year in many where there was no Board turnover. With this consistency, the Board was able to engage the local region in exploring partnerships in service delivery. Some of the accomplishments were: Successful transition from Interim Fire Chief Mark Risen, on loan from the City of Bellevue, to an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Bothell to share Fire Chief Bob Van Horne and Deputy Fire Chief Jim Roepke. The promotion of Battalion Chief Greg Ahearn to Deputy Fire Chief. Successful negotiations with the City of Bothell resulting in a signed and executed Interlocal Agreement regarding areas of annexation. Participation with the Northshore Fire Department, Snohomish County Fire District #10 and the City of Bothell Fire and E.M.S. in a Regional Fire Authority (RFA) Planning Committee. Participation in multiple fire operations training consortiums providing comprehensive safety and training to our operations personnel and refined response capabilities. Not to be lost in all of these accomplishments was the amazingly successful reauthorization of our Fire Benefit Service Charge levy by you, the citizens of our community! Everything we do starts right here and we are humbled and grateful for your overwhelming support. In addition to this vote of confidence, the voters of King County resoundingly re-authorized the Medic One Levy. Again, thank you! We were also able to celebrate a number of staff retirements and a few promotions. Although these events are normal for any organization, it s a bittersweet experience when tenured employees move on. We have been able to keep all District stations staffed and response times as low as possible. Our outreach programs continue to be funded and are making a difference in our community and beyond. It is a strong belief of our Board of Fire Commissioners that we are navigating within moments of great opportunity. Whether it is response operations, regional partnerships, community emergency preparedness or public CPR training, everyone here at is focused on delivering the best service and performance to our community. Sincerely, Tim Osgood Board Chairman Page 2

6 A Letter from Chief Van Horne It is my honor to present the 2013 Annual Report on behalf of every employee of the District. Within this report you will see what we are doing to create a safe community for you to live, work and play. The District s firefighters provide training for all ages to help prevent, or reduce, personal loss. You will see the variety of services the District provides should you have a need to call 911. We cannot provide these services without the support of your elected Board of Fire Commissioners, King County Emergency Medical Services, NORCOM dispatch center, our neighboring fire departments and you. Woodinville Fire & Rescue and the City of Bothell entered into an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) for the City to provide Fire Chief and Deputy Fire Chief of Operations services to and these services began June 1st. In addition, the two departments combined Training Divisions. This ILA has produced financial and operational efficiencies for both the District and the City. In 2013,, the City of Bothell, Northshore Fire Department and Snohomish County Fire District 10 decided to enter into a feasibility study for the purpose of considering whether the four departments should consolidate into one department through a Regional Fire Authority model. This study is an open public process and will continue throughout While the District looks to the future, it remains dedicated to providing a timely and professional response to your present day needs. Our best for a safe and healthy Robert Van Horne Fire Chief Page 4

13 Response Operations House Bill 1756 was passed by the State Legislature in 2005 to standardize reporting and track response times each year. The parameter for this reporting uses a 90th percentile time standard. Different from an average time, the 90th percentile measures the greatest time it takes units to arrive 90 percent of the time. This time is generally higher than an average response time. Standards of House Bill 1756: Every city and town, in order to measure the ability to arrive and begin mitigation operations, shall establish time objectives for the following measurements: Turnout time; Response time for the arrival of the first arriving engine company at a fire suppression incident and response time for the deployment of a full first alarm assignment at a fire suppression incident; and Response time for the arrival of a unit with first responder or higher level capability at an emergency medical incident. Every city and town shall also establish a performance objective of not less than 90 percent for the achievement of each response time objective of this section. Response Times Measure Turnout Time The initial time when units first received notification of emergency to the point they respond. Arrival of First Alarm Assignment* (3 engines, 1 ladder, 1 aid unit, 1 command unit) Arrival of First Engine at a Fire Incident Arrival of EMT at an Emergency Medical Incident 2 minutes, 26 seconds 90% of all code red responses 18 minutes, 40 seconds 90% of the time 11 minutes, 45 seconds 90% of the time 9 minutes, 40 seconds 90% of the time 2 minutes, 25 seconds 90% of all code red responses 20 minutes, 32 seconds 90% of the time 9 minutes, 09 seconds 90% of the time 8 minutes, 50 seconds 90% of the time * A First Alarm Assignment includes all units that are initially dispatched to a structure fire. Firefighting operations begin immediately when the first unit arrives (this time is noted in the Arrival of First Engine at Fire Incident category). The response time standard measures the time it takes for the last unit to arrive at the scene. Frequently, some of the units are from neighboring mutual aid departments and have to travel farther. For 2012 and 2013, this time was calculated as the time for arrival of the first two engines, first ladder and Battalion Chief. Page 11
14 Training & Development s Training & Development Division experienced several changes in WF&R and Bothell Fire came together to operate a joint training division. WF&R Lieutenant Bryce Riddell was promoted to Captain assigned to Training. The new joint training division became part of the county-wide East Metro Training Group (EMTG) - an organization comprised of 11 fire departments. The EMTG focuses on inter-operational tactics on the fire ground with the goals of making fire fighting safer and more effective. Multiple drills are held throughout the year to achieve these goals. WF&R continued to refine our emergency medical skills. An emphasis remains on improving survival rates among cardiac arrest patients. As a result of county-wide efforts, King County EMS (of which WF&R is a part) has posted a survival rate in 2013 of 57 percent. These are the highest survival rates in the country! As we look ahead to 2014, the Training & Development Division will continue our focus on expanding the work of both the EMTG and the EMS component of the fire department. In addition to this, the first quarter of 2014 will be dedicated to training up to five new firefighters, expected to be hired at the beginning of the year. Page 12
