Mr. Roberts noted it has been difficult to find volunteers to fill the roster. With Magic Valley Paramedics responding from the Filer Fire Station, they are on scene before any volunteers. Mr. Roberts noted that because MVP is generally on scene volunteers feel it is not necessary to respond to provide medical services and are unable to use their skills. The Filer Fire Department pays volunteers $15.00 per hour when they respond to a call, however, they are unable to pay a stipend to be on call. Andrew Stevens, Buhl Fire Department, noted that Buhl is a little different because they have full time staff that run EMS calls. Buhl will continue to run calls with their combined fire and EMS staff. They also pay volunteers to respond which equates to approximately $41.00 per call. Buhl is looking for other sources of revenue to be able to continue providing the service. Gary Sabin, Rock Creek Fire noted they have 3 full time staff on most of the time and are in the same situation as Buhl where the Fire District is supporting the EMS program. Chief Roberts noted that they are unable to bill for services making it difficult to fund the EMS. Stan Roberts, MVP noted that they have an ambulance staffed 24 hours full time at the Filer Fire station. Chief Stevens noted that Buhl does not have an ambulance like Filer and Rock Creek making it important that they have EMS services available. Commissioner Matthews noted that each unit is a little different and has their own set of challenges. Chief Roberts discussed the steps and goals that the Fire District is working toward and noted that the Fire District will be available to assist MVP when needed.
