I think that the Ebbetts Pass Fire District has been on the 48-96 schedule longer that almost anyone. I have not found anyone that can go back as far as 1984-1985 with this schedule. We tried it on a trial basis when we were very small with just three paid firefighters. Three of us agreed to try this schedule and within two months went to the Chief and requested it as a permanent schedule. It was approved and EPFD has held to it ever since. Through growth & expansion, this schedule has been a mainstay of policy and has attracted some potential employee candidates. Yes, we are still small compared to others, but most of the trials and errors have long ago been solved by EPFD. At least for our district.

Pecos County EMS is a low volume service. We staff 4-24 hour units. 2 units are staffed at least MICU and 2 units staffed at least ALS. This schedule allows my wife and I to operate our own private service at a much lower cost than anticipated and we have more time together than previously due to randomized schedule prior and this schedule allows all of our staff equal amounts of scheduled OT as well as equal access to unscheduled OT. The only issue we have noticed is our B-shift is short staffed the B-shift staff don't have quite as much access to OT.
