FAQ OF THE DAY!! ✅ Question: What are Big Bear Fire Authorities challenges? – – Answer: Over the past 4 years, the department has experienced an increase of %13.32 in emergency and non emergency incidents.There is clear evidence that the call volume will continue to increase at a rapid rate for the foreseeable future. Last year BFA responded to 4,535 incidents. The firefighting and paramedic staff hasn’t increased in 15 years, even though the population, number, and type of emergency incidents has increased substantially. With a growing demand for emergency services, a limited operating budget, and NO funding to help from the State or County, it has become extremely challenging to serve Big Bear’s increasing demand for emergency medical response, fire protection, and seasonal readiness so we are prepared when and emergency strikes. ✅🚒👨🚒🔥 #BBPFA #BigBear #welcometo7000feet #highaltitude #firewithaltitude #mountains #fire #firefighters #ems #emt #paramedic #paramedicine
