San Bernardino County Fire Agencies Join Together To Provide Services During Pandemic

San Bernardino County fire agencies are joining together to provide uninterrupted services during the coronavirus pandemic.

At a press conference in San Bernardino, county officials gave an update on how county fire agencies are working together to provide emergency services during the pandemic.

Eric Sherwin is a public information officer with the San Bernardino County Fire Department.

He says these incident management teams will coordinate the distribution of personal protective equipment for use in emergencies.

Sherwin: “Rather than having 18 separate agencies in the county placing orders and waiting for those orders to arrive, one of the functions this management team will do is provide a single ordering point and a single distribution point.”

Officials pointed out the possibility of a high percentage of firefighters being sickened or quarantined because of COVID-19, and how that could disrupt the stability of the emergency response system.

This partnership, they said, is to make sure that doesn’t happen.
