00:00.640 --> 00:02.696
Hi , I'm Christian Jacobs and on the

00:02.696 --> 00:04.751
chief of Fire Prevention and Grissom

00:04.751 --> 00:06.807
Air Reserve Base in Beautiful Peru ,

00:06.807 --> 00:09.084
Indiana , and I'm here to pitch to you .

00:09.084 --> 00:11.251
My idea about regional izing emergency

00:11.251 --> 00:13.307
communications centres . What ? It's

00:13.307 --> 00:15.362
Annecy . See the acronym E . C . C .

00:15.362 --> 00:17.362
Stands for Emergency Communications

00:17.362 --> 00:19.584
Center , which is a room not unlike the

00:19.584 --> 00:21.807
one pictured here just on smaller scale

00:21.807 --> 00:21.460
that receives and transmits emergency

00:21.460 --> 00:23.571
communications to first responders on

00:23.571 --> 00:25.670
the installation . How this works is

00:25.670 --> 00:27.870
someone has emergency and calls 9 11 .

00:28.230 --> 00:30.452
The E . C . C . Receives its 911 call .

00:30.452 --> 00:32.563
It processes the information from the

00:32.563 --> 00:34.674
caller . Likewise , signals from fire

00:34.674 --> 00:36.897
alarm systems are received via computer

00:36.897 --> 00:38.897
in the E . C C and also processed .

00:38.980 --> 00:41.850
Once the E CCS processes data , they

00:41.850 --> 00:44.017
then dispatch the appropriate resource

00:44.017 --> 00:46.128
is to mitigate the emergency . Though

00:46.128 --> 00:48.239
this sounds like a lot , the state of

00:48.239 --> 00:50.350
processing usually takes less than 60

00:50.350 --> 00:52.730
seconds . Currently , each of the 66

00:52.730 --> 00:54.897
Air Force bases pictured here operates

00:54.897 --> 00:57.119
their own GCC , which is stopped by the

00:57.119 --> 00:59.286
Fire Department . Each fire department

00:59.286 --> 01:01.286
is allocated five personnel to stop

01:01.286 --> 01:03.452
this function . The average based fire

01:03.452 --> 01:05.230
department within this data set

01:05.230 --> 01:07.286
receives only to emergency calls per

01:07.286 --> 01:09.119
day on average . This process is

01:09.119 --> 01:11.286
effective but highly inefficient , and

01:11.286 --> 01:13.452
I proposed change that . How you might

01:13.452 --> 01:15.397
ask , by grouping these individual

01:15.397 --> 01:17.563
dispatch centers geographically within

01:17.563 --> 01:19.674
their respective time , thus creating

01:19.674 --> 01:21.786
five regional emergency communication

01:21.786 --> 01:24.040
centers , or RE CC's e Tree . Sisi will

01:24.040 --> 01:26.090
have direct data connections to the

01:26.090 --> 01:28.146
bases that they served to facilitate

01:28.146 --> 01:30.368
the bidirectional flow of information ,

01:30.368 --> 01:32.368
either by telephone , radio or data

01:32.368 --> 01:34.590
transmission . One of the many benefits

01:34.590 --> 01:36.646
of forming these re see she's is the

01:36.646 --> 01:38.868
cost . Savings will be reduced but much

01:38.868 --> 01:40.979
more efficient staffing level without

01:40.979 --> 01:42.757
impacting services provided . I

01:42.757 --> 01:44.923
developed this idea originally about a

01:44.923 --> 01:46.923
year ago , refining it ever since .

01:46.923 --> 01:48.479
Currently , there are a few

01:48.479 --> 01:50.423
installations that have tried this

01:50.423 --> 01:50.160
locally . By combining two BC , she's

01:50.160 --> 01:52.740
into one . There's one pair in Colorado

01:52.740 --> 01:54.740
Springs , Colorado , and one parent

01:54.740 --> 01:56.573
outside Titusville , Florida The

01:56.573 --> 01:58.740
results of the pairing have saved over

01:58.740 --> 02:01.040
18,700 man hours . The next logical

02:01.040 --> 02:02.984
step to expand these relationships

02:02.984 --> 02:04.762
beyond this initial pairings is

02:04.762 --> 02:07.096
something a little bigger . For example ,

02:07.096 --> 02:09.040
Joint Base San Antonio There there

02:09.040 --> 02:11.040
would be no savings in terms of man

02:11.040 --> 02:13.151
hours , but would provide for a proof

02:13.151 --> 02:15.373
of concept beyond the two based model .

02:15.373 --> 02:17.373
If all goes well , the next logical

02:17.373 --> 02:19.484
steps would be to create one of these

02:19.484 --> 02:21.818
times own base three cc's , for example ,

02:21.818 --> 02:23.929
the Pacific Time Zone recency , which

02:23.929 --> 02:26.151
houses eight fire departments . Success

02:26.151 --> 02:28.040
with this level would equate to a

02:28.040 --> 02:29.873
savings of over 52,000 man hours

02:29.873 --> 02:32.040
annually . Obviously , after that , we

02:32.040 --> 02:34.151
should look at it nationally . The re

02:34.151 --> 02:36.151
CC locations I've depicted here are

02:36.151 --> 02:38.262
just for illustration . Purpose is to

02:38.262 --> 02:40.318
help you Visualize is how this could

02:40.318 --> 02:42.100
look at the national level . By

02:42.100 --> 02:44.322
applying this conceptual E , there is a

02:44.322 --> 02:46.489
potential of saving the Air Force over

02:46.489 --> 02:48.840
$8.5 million annually in just salaries

02:48.900 --> 02:51.011
alone . Thank you for the opportunity

02:51.011 --> 02:53.390
to present my idea to you requesting

02:53.390 --> 02:55.730
half a million dollars to implement my

02:55.740 --> 02:58.650
view and to save the Air force $8.5

02:58.650 --> 02:59.550
million annually .
