CLARIFICATION
A story in Monday's Kansan about law students working with prisoners at Leavenworth contained misleading information. John Rainwater, Norman, Okla,
second-year law student, did not help with research or give legal advice to prisoners. He gave a speech and helped establish a jailhouse-lawyer program.
City considers response times
Plan would combine emergency services
By Sarah Morrison Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence City Commission heard a report from Lawrence Fire Chief Jim McSwain last night on the possibility of combining fire and emergency medical services in Lawrence.
Cross-training firefighters and emergency medical technicians is one plan that could decrease emergency medical service response time in Lawrence, McSwain said.
The idea is to combine the services and eventually increase fire stations in Lawrence from four to five. Both emergency medical technicians and firefighters respond to fire and emergency medical calls.
Commissioner John Nalbandian said that the ambulance system now could get an ambulance to Eudora faster than to west Lawrence.
The commission directed staff to look at setting up a study session with Douglas County representatives on or around May 15 to discuss the plan.
Not everyone agreed that such a plan would be beneficial.
Bob Kent, Lawrence firefighter, told the commission that the plan could hurt the quality of service that the fire department now provides for the community.
"Fire service is not just squirting water or dressing up in bunker clothes and going to the scene," Kent said.
The fire department also educates about fire safety, performs water and high-angle rescues and handles hazardous materials, he said.
"We are not just talking about training them to squirt water, we're talking about integrating them into fire

them into fire service."
"We are not just talking about training them to squirt water, we're talking about integrating them into fire service," Kent said.
Mayor Bob Moody told McSwin to continue working to develop a proposal and gather more information.
McSwain said fire department administrators would involve firefighters' ideas in developing a proposal.
In other business, the commission:
Approved a lease agreement for 1,450 acres from the U.S. Corps of Engineers for 25 years with two five-year term extensions for the construction of a public golf course.
Approved a request from the Convention and Visitors Bureau to use the Guest Tax Reserve Fund to finance directional street signs for the center and downtown.
