00:14.240 --> 00:16.380
the mutually we do have with the

00:16.380 --> 00:18.213
government of Guam and providing

00:18.213 --> 00:20.158
primarily E . M . S . Services out

00:20.158 --> 00:22.213
there in the community . Uh that has

00:22.213 --> 00:25.060
been ongoing for quite a long time now

00:25.070 --> 00:27.580
and really it it does a whole lot , a

00:27.590 --> 00:29.757
lot of good and a lot of service , not

00:29.757 --> 00:33.040
only for uh the military to provide

00:33.040 --> 00:35.151
that needed support out in town . You

00:35.151 --> 00:37.750
know give Guam GFT is an organization

00:37.760 --> 00:40.130
that covers the entire island . So

00:40.130 --> 00:42.241
they're the only one that does that .

00:42.241 --> 00:44.297
And as you can imagine the number of

00:44.297 --> 00:46.408
911 calls that are coming through and

00:46.408 --> 00:48.408
that's just so many that they can't

00:48.408 --> 00:50.352
handle . So when they come to that

00:50.352 --> 00:52.519
particular situation , they all called

00:52.519 --> 00:54.741
mutually requests through the RTC which

00:54.741 --> 00:56.908
is the region this past center and ask

00:56.908 --> 00:56.520
for whatever support they may need

00:56.530 --> 00:58.080
primarily that will be the

00:58.080 --> 01:01.150
ambulance

01:05.860 --> 01:08.640
come again . If Guam usually it's the

01:08.650 --> 01:11.030
dispatch center , 911 center will call

01:11.040 --> 01:12.984
the regional dispatch center , the

01:12.984 --> 01:15.207
regional dispatch center will then call

01:15.207 --> 01:17.373
out to the assistant chief in the fire

01:17.373 --> 01:19.540
department that's on duty . And he may

01:19.540 --> 01:22.070
stay a , it's a wild land fire , he

01:22.070 --> 01:23.903
might state they need mutual aid

01:23.903 --> 01:25.959
requests for assistance in a certain

01:25.959 --> 01:27.970
location , whether it's medical and

01:27.970 --> 01:30.081
they'll call out the address and then

01:30.081 --> 01:31.914
the assistant chief on duty will

01:31.914 --> 01:34.081
determine which station will respond .

01:34.081 --> 01:37.250
Usually it's the closest stations .

01:38.140 --> 01:41.420
Mhm . You can tell , you know , once

01:41.420 --> 01:43.560
you're in a particular system and you

01:43.560 --> 01:45.727
know , on your day to day . You know ,

01:45.727 --> 01:47.838
kind of like your day to day tempo is

01:47.838 --> 01:49.949
in terms of your emergency response ,

01:49.949 --> 01:52.060
but once the mutual aid comes in , it

01:52.060 --> 01:54.227
means that your day to day is somewhat

01:54.227 --> 01:56.449
changed . You can no longer handle that

01:56.449 --> 01:58.449
requests . So you reach out to your

01:58.449 --> 02:00.393
neighbor , which is our mutual aid

02:00.393 --> 02:02.560
support with Guam and say , hey look ,

02:02.560 --> 02:04.671
you know , we're busy on base . We're

02:04.671 --> 02:06.782
doing something . We've got something

02:06.782 --> 02:09.004
else is going on and we just don't have

02:09.004 --> 02:11.116
the assets , the additional assets to

02:11.116 --> 02:10.600
help support their request . So now

02:10.600 --> 02:12.822
we're asking for someone to come in and

02:12.822 --> 02:15.044
help us with that . So likewise it goes

02:15.044 --> 02:17.267
out . It's beneficial to each party and

02:17.267 --> 02:19.322
we practice it . We utilize the real

02:19.322 --> 02:21.490
world every single day , especially

02:21.500 --> 02:23.730
during the covid situation came in

02:23.730 --> 02:25.952
handy to help out each other because at

02:25.952 --> 02:28.008
the end of the day , especially with

02:28.008 --> 02:30.230
the medical response , you want to make

02:30.230 --> 02:32.397
sure that , that a few minutes of life

02:32.397 --> 02:33.860
is taken care of right away . Mhm .
