![]() ![]() Teamwork: what affects one, affects allĦ. Education, safety, training, and preparedness are the keysĥ. Excellence: surpass all expectations at all times. Motivation: enthusiastically completing tasks, and striving for a better tomorrowĤ. Accountability: holding others to the same standard we hold ourselvesģ. Respect: treat others with compassion and dignityĢ. We will always strive to stay up to date on positive changes and trends in the world of fire and medicine, never ending in our pursuit of education.ġ. To achieve this vision, we will treat every customer with compassion. Our vision is to serve our customers as the leading Fire and EMS Service in Eastern Montana and become the top department in the State of Montana. ![]() To prevent or minimize loss of life and property from fire, injury, illness, or other sudden hazardous situations which can be dealt with by the resources of the department and cannot be managed by other public or private services. To view the report with photos – Download the PDF > We look forward to serving the city of Miles City and Custer County in 2023. Our community should be very proud of the women and men of MCFR for their dedication and commitment to helping others. More about the survival rate is included in this report.Īnother very positive note, is the department structure fire save ratio. This is a reflection of a large team effort, from our EMT’s and Paramedics to community CPR programs, availability of AED’s, 911 dispatchers trained in pre-arrival instructions, AED’s in Law Enforcement vehicles, Advanced Cardiac Life support ambulances, and high quality emergency room staff at our hospital. The national average is only 10.4% survival of sudden cardiac arrest, MCFR has an exceptional save rate over the last two years (28% in 2022). MCFR has a survival rate greater than 2 ½ times the national average. On a very positive note – Our Cardiac Arrest Survival rate is something our community should be very proud of. ![]() Alternatives for funding and a General Obligation Bond are currently being discussed. We are working with the Public Safety Committee of the City Council and the Mayor, to search out possible solutions to this issue. Our building continues to be a major obstacle to overcome. We respond to multiple calls at the same time, on average 33% of the time. 6 emergency calls in less than an hour is more than 3 firefighter/EMTs are able to handle. MCFR is staffed with a minimum of 3 firefighter/EMTs. In 2022 we experienced a weekly and sometimes daily (delays for ambulances) Several times during the year emergency calls have come in a five or six in a row. One major challenge we are faced with in our community is the number of staff available to assist in emergency calls, and when those emergency’s happen. Some interesting challenges are presented with ever increasing numbers in call volume. MCFR responded to 1,642 calls for service in 2022. Ability to load follow and support other energy sources on the grid.Greetings, 2022 was another year full of challenges for Miles City Fire Rescue (MCFR).Ability to use multiple fuels for operation including depleted and natural uranium, or even spent fuel.Online refueling for continuous operation to increase fuel utilization and availability.No fuel assemblies to fabricate, replace or store.If there is a loss of coolant flow, the fuel salt would expand through the reactor core to passively halt the process and naturally circulate to remove decay heat. The MCFR has what the industry calls a “walk-away-safe” design that would shut down the reactor without any need for electric pumps to prevent fuel damage. It is a major departure in terms of simplicity, fuel cycle and proliferation characteristics relative to other more-complex nuclear reactor concepts and offers significant safety, performance and economic benefits. MCFRs can enable the transition to a flexible, robust and low-carbon energy system. The reactor would also produce less waste and could even consume waste from other reactors. The mixture is then circulated through a heat exchanger to a coolant chloride salt loop that can be used for process heat, thermal storage or electricity generation.īecause the reactor operates at a high temperature, the process is more efficient at producing electricity than light water reactors. The design uses liquid chloride salts as the coolant and fuel that flows through the reactor core-allowing the fission to directly heat the salts. The MCFR will be optimized to operate as a commercial reactor that can produce up to 1,200 megawatts of electricity, with a lower-output demonstration reactor proving smaller-scale potential. ![]()
