New fire commissioner fleshes out plan to reduce response time to medical emergencies

Ashlee Rezin Garcia/Sun-Times Chicago’s newly-appointed fire commissioner is fleshing out her plan to reduce response times to medical emergencies that now make up two-thirds of all calls for fire service.

The new level of care that Nance-Holt calls “mobile integrated health” would not only reduce the avalanche of calls to Chicago’s 911 emergency system, but also take the pressure off hospital emergency rooms and free up those 80 ambulances backed by advanced life-support (ALS) engines and trucks for more serious emergencies.
