A competing firm beat us for a bid ... it wasn't a big shock, as they have won a half dozen other projects in this region over the past 10 years - along with another firm competing for business. When we submitted our proposal, we promoted fresh ideas and a fresh perspective - even bold ideas, if they were warranted. We wanted to stand out from any forms of complacency. The winning firm has produced a mediocre product (in our biased opinion) with their prior work and is owned by an architectural company that has branched into fire/EMS consulting. Their prime competitor in the region is a general research company with no fire/EMS professionals on staff. Read that again ... that is who communities are choosing to do their consulting work. That's what's disappointing, here. We also bid 30% less than the winner and offered heavy on-site engagement and interaction. Yet, the anticipated victor won the bid and the region will have yet another "same old" study completed by the same people who have done others in the area. Same ideas, same recommendations, and likely the same results (which have not been newsworthy, to say the least). #CityManager and #FireChief connections ... why do some of you keep spending tens of thousands of dollars all to choose the "familiar" route again and again? Why not choose something (someone) different? After all, the "different" firm is going to have to prove their worth a heck of a lot more than the "same old" name will.

Disruption ... massive disruption (in a good way!). If your fire department or EMS agency is looking to explore the possibilities (or take a leap toward the implementation) of positive disruption within your organization ... but you need a little guidance (or for someone else to mitigigate a little bit of the blow), reach out! We're glad to help facilitate! On the flip side, if you're satisifed with how things are operating but might like a little added perspective, we can provide that, too!

Is your fire department or EMS agency looking to strategically plan ahead? By all means, the majority of the strategic planning process can be done completely internally (and probably should be!) ... but for the initial starting elements - the directional elements - it certainly is nice to bring in an impartial resource. So, if you're looking to plan ahead, we recommend you start by engaging with us. emsllcwi @ gmail

Is it the industry's fault ... or the employee's ... when an employee shows up to work a 2nd job tired, burnt out, over-worked, stressed, exhausted, etc.? Is it the 2nd employer's fault? (We say "no, YES, no" ... in that order)

Poor choices. Now, I'm not arguing at all that EMS agencies throughout the country have been known for paying lower wages than other public safety or healthcare fields ... no argument at all there. This does cause a need for many EMTs and Paramedics to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Again, no argument there. Where "poor choices" come into play, moreover, is when those EMTs and Paramedics leave one busy EMS job for another busy EMS job. That is a poor choice. It's not the industry's fault that YOU chose to put YOURSELF and THE PUBLIC in danger by choosing to work multiple 12+ or 24+ hour shifts in a row ... especially in busy systems where you have little breaks, downtime, sleep, etc. Yes, this is YOUR CHOICE (and your own fault) to put yourself in this predicament ... to unnecessarily add risk to the public AND your employers. Need a 2nd job to make ends meet? Go work somewhere where you can "afford" to show up tired. Don't actively endanger yourself and the public ... and then blame the industry for doing this to you. This was YOUR poor choice. And, if something bad happens, it's YOUR fault more than it is the industry's. Take ownership of your decisions. Remember, YOU chose to work in this industry ... that means that YOU can also choose to leave it, limit your exposure to it, and limit the risk that YOU create to the rest of the public by choosing to overstretch yourself. IT'S NOT THE INDUSTRY'S FAULT ... It's 100% YOUR own choice.

We've got room for one, maybe two more average/large consulting projects for the calendar year ... but still can accomodate some of our Low-Demand|HIGH-IMPACT consulting options. If your fire department, EMS agency, or municipality is looking to bring in a consultant to help dig down to the root of your challenges (without all of the doctoral-level statistical deviations and content that no one understands - or can actually act upon), please reach out! Pending an upcoming win, we're looking at starting future projects around the May/June area and wrapping up before the end of the year.

We're calling out ALL fire & EMS consulting firms ... big and small ... Let's all agree NOT to use - or to STOP any practice of using - lame stock photos (especially of European ambulances, fire apparatus, crews, and equipment) - in ALL of our work. No more stock photos for reports - especially cover photos. No more stock photo advertisements/announcements. No more stock photos in social media posts. NO MORE STOCK PHOTOS (period). ***AND THAT GOES FOR AI IMAGES, TOO*** We - EMERGENCY MEDICAL SOLUTIONS llc - don't use them (and never have). Now, we're asking everyone else to join in to NOT use them, too. Fitch & Associates, LLC Emergency Services Consulting International PWW Advisory Group Center for Public Safety Management, LLC AP TRITON, LLC Citygate Associates, LLC Cambridge Consulting Group MissionCIT, LLC ... and anyone else, big or small! (I'll be glad to add/link them to the list above) (Not all consulting firms listed above have been guilty of this ... but some have been "repeat offenders" ... so we're just calling out everyone equally to raise awareness.)

EMSllc offers you better.

I just read through a consultant's report (from a "leading" EMS consulting firm) that used a stock photo of a European ambulance, with equipment, on its cover ... for an American ambulance service. That's frustrating. The reputation that this firm has - or at least had - does not match with its quality of today ... which is degraded, at the very least. To all of my #CityManager and fire/EMS chief connections out there ... I encourage you to not allow this. You should expect more ... better. Yes, I'm biased ... but I'll offer you better. PM me to chat.
