Letter to the Editor, I have attended most of the meetings regarding the future of the Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District. Most of the speakers only talked about their personal agenda. The Board meeting on November DOLEV 14, 2017 at the new fire station had many speakers, however only two addressed the problem. The first was the effect on Homeowners Insurance and the second was the financial problems involved in being independent from the rest of San Diego County. The Board members and the public need to disregard their personal agenda and select the option that will produce the best fire and medical responses for the community. George Merz, Cuyamaca

According to an article in the San Diego Union the City of San Diego plans to spend $34 million on a cutting-edge firefighting helicopter and a new hangar in which to house it. This would exceed the entire San Diego County Fire Authority’s annual budget by over $6 million. In further comparison, the City of San Diego Fire Department’s budget is over $236 million for fiscal year 2016/17, 7.6% of the City’s $3.1 billion budget. The Authority’s $29 million budget is 0.05% of the County’s $5.36 billion budget. The City Fire Department has 1,300 personnel, including 801 uniformed fire fighters. The County Fire Authority has 21 employees and zero fire fighters. There are some here in Julian who want the local volunteer fire department to be taken over by an entity which is woefully under funded. The risks to Julian are numerous and frightening. Julian citizens must ask themselves if they want to surrender their volunteer fire department and be at the mercy of the County or vote to approve a modest fee increase to stay independent – and much safer.

Julian-Cuyamaca Ambulance Service San Diego County Emergency Medical Service (SD-EMS) is completely separate from the San Diego County Fire Authority. SDEMS contracted with JCFPD to provide ambulance service over the past decade; this contract will end June 2019. SD-EMS is planning to combine ambulance service areas which will result in the Julian Service Area becoming much larger. Also, the County is contemplating whether to award the ambulance contract to a single agency instead of multiple agencies. Their goal is to minimize paperwork, oversite and accounting responsibility, and to ensure response times of less than 15 minutes in all of the back country areas. This can be accomplished more effectively if a single agency has the ability to quickly move resources and backfill when one ambulance is transporting a patient. The final decision will be made by SD-EMS. The most likely scenario is that Mercy or AMR Ambulance will apply for and be awarded the ambulance contract. They will have to show they can respond in the times prescribed by the County and this will involve stationing their ambulances at key locations. JCFPD is a likely station to house ambulance crews and the proximity means the JCFPD fire engine would respond along with the ambulance. This scenario would allow JCFPD to transfer its current ParamedicFirefighters onto an engine, replacing the CalFire paramedic-engine being relocated out of Julian. The rent paid by the ambulance company to house its ambulances and staff in the Julian fire station could subsidize salaries for the JCFPD Paramedics. This is all speculation because nothing has been decided by the County, but the bottom line is that Julian-Cuyamaca will always have good ambulance service and the changes could benefit JCFPD financially.
