In an innovative format, the Henrico County Division of Fire deployed an exciting new model of triaging patient acuity utilizing Henrico County Public School nurses in conjunction with Paramedic Fire Officers to match risk with response during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Division of Fire partnered with HCPS nurses and paired them with firefighters to ask enhanced questions to efficiently meet the needs of the community while balancing risk to firefighters, the risk to the community, and maintaining critical personal protective equipment caches in stock.
