It is with sadness and a very heavy heart that we remember our beloved friend George Putnik, Secretary/Treasurer for the Board of Directors.  George passed away on March 20, 2013 while recovering from surgery.  George was a veteran of World War II and served his community by representing the Wheat Ridge Boards of Sanitation and Fire.  George volunteered at Mount St. Vincent in Denver and embodied the term gentleman through his every word and actions.  While George may be gone, his legacy shall live on and he will not be forgotten! 

Rest in peace dear friend, until we meet again.

Additional information: for the month, the District responded to 96.8% of all Priority 1 and Priority 2 calls in under 6 minutes.  In comparison to our EMS contract with Rural Metro (RM), RM is required to maintain a 90% fractal for Priority 1 ans Priority 2 calls.  For Priority 1 calls, RM has 6 minutes to respond.  For Priority 2 calls, RM has 10 minutes to respond.  Fractal means RM must respond to 90% of all Priority 1 calls (lights and sirens) within six minutes and respond to all Priority 2 calls (no lights and sirens) within ten minutes.
