RESOLUTION
2014 -10 -03
WHEREAS, Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is among the highest priorities demanded and
expected by our citizens who deserve prompt and professional response every time they call 9 -1 -1; and
WHEREAS, over 600 volunteers give unselfishly of their time from 34 Fire & EMS Stations, responding
to over10,000 calls for service annually; and
WHEREAS, the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors demonstrates its genuine commitment to these
organizations by appropriating $1.7Million in the current fiscal year for normal, recurring needs, while
considering special requests as necessary; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors requested a similar study in 2006. Progressive improvements
have been made following this report, and due to the report's age and ever - changing environment,
another, fresh analysis is necessary to continue improvement of this vital service; then
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, that the Pittsylvania County Board of
Supervisors formally requests the completion of a Comprehensive Analysis (Study) of the County's
Fire /EMS System and directs the County Administrator to take necessary action to request the same from
the Virginia Fire Services Board.
