Torrance Fire Emergency Response Changes for COVID-19

3/23/2020

 
DISPATCH PROCEDURES
·    Torrance Fire Dispatchers will gather caller name/call back phone number and enter the information in the comments section for emergency responders
 
RESPONDING UNITS ENROUTE PHASE
·    Torrance Firefighters will contact the reporting party using the apparatus cell phone and attempt to have the patient moved to an open area outside of the residence, if practical.
 
RESPONDING UNITS ON SCENE ACTIONS
·    Initial patient contact will practice “One-in, all-out” policy until the firefighter requires assistance.  This practice reduces exposure risk for everyone on the incident. 
·    Personnel will enter the emergency incident based on EMS policies and best COVID practices.
