ANY QUESTIONS CALL STEVE WORDEN @ 313-478-6761 

Fordson Cleaner's 3/29/12. Extremely Close call.

This is just a look into the world of the Dearborn Fire Department. We will give you a glimpse into the best in class services we provide to the residents of Dearborn and a way for us to say thank you for your continuous support

Dearborn's staffing model and STEMI Project saves lives!

• DBN FD runs an Advanced Life Support Engine Model Response which provides 3 additional Paramedics to the scene who asssist Advanced EMS procedures simultaneously with DFD's Ambulance/Rescue crew
• DFD average emergency response time is approximately 4 minutes (National Average is 8 minutes with 7 Minutes 59 Seconds used as a benchmark)
•  From 9-1-1 Call to first 12-Lead EKG average time is 6 Minutes (ALS Engine Company Model allows us to provide incredibly rapid and effective care)
• Average of 10 to 15 Minutes of On-Scene-Times – typical patients receive a full assessment including 12-Lead EKG that can be transmitted to the Hospital (STEMI Project)
• STEMI Project in collaboration with Oakwood Hospital Dearborn – 12-Lead EKG immediately transmitted from scene to both ER & Cardiac CATH Lab. The Cardiologist on call also gets a copy of the EKG in real time directly to his cell phone so everyone is on the same page if the patient needs emergency angioplasty.
• Patients that get to the CATH Lab faster have a lower rate of mortality – the target time set forth by the American Heart Association is 90 minutes – typically patients transported by Dearborn Fire Department have a time to the CATH Lab in 30 to 40 minutes (a reduction of about 1 hour off the national target time).
• The STEMI program has drastically increased the efficiency of the hospital – resulted in better patient outcomes
• Of course, in addition to EMS, DFD responds to Fires, Extrication's, Industrial Rescue, and any other emergency a citizen calls on us for help.

In 2011, the Dearborn Fire Department ran 10,843 calls. 

(Many calls require multiple apparatus to respond with multiple firefighters/paramedics)

(Dearborn gives one incident number per incident regardless of the number of patients, vehicles involved, or structures involved)

Thank you for a great year!
