Pre-RFPPublic SafetyDetected May 19, 2026

Unified Fire Authority has been operating a Low Acuity Unit (LU101) since August 1, 2025, based at Station 101 in Millcreek, staffed Monday–Thursday from 0900–1900, and has responded to 438 incidents to date (about three per day). The May 2026 Emergency Services Report notes that UFA is on its third personnel rotation for the trial program and is observing a roughly 12% reduction in call volume on Medic Engine 101 in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025, indicating positive system impact.Leadership is actively refining the model—adjusting rotation offsets and shift times—and funding for continuation of the low acuity pilot (~$198,862) is identified as a one‑time use of fund balance in the FY 2026–2027 budget message. This suggests that decisions are pending on whether to formalize, expand, or scale the program to other stations or time periods. Vendors that provide low‑acuity response vehicles, community paramedicine software, nurse navigation/telehealth, scheduling and analytics tools, or EMS workflow consulting can help UFA optimize this pilot and plan for data‑driven expansion.

Program currently operates four days per week and is designed to divert lower‑priority medical calls away from high‑demand transport and suppression units.
