PURPOSE: The EMS Office of the Medical Director (“EMS”) requests the approval of the application to renew the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (“COPCN” or “Certificate”) for District Fire Department (formerly known as “Reedy Creek Emergency Services”) to provide Advanced Life Support (“ALS”) transport services. District Fire Department has submitted the attached application requesting the renewal of its COPCN which has been in effect since 1996. In accordance with Orange County Code, EMS has reviewed District Fire Department’s renewal application. EMS has not received any substantial and material complaints against District Fire Department, and the status of District Fire Department has not substantially and materially changed. Accordingly, EMS recommends that the Orange County Board of County Commissioners renew District Fire Department’s Certificate.
