Fire departments across California are contemplating the ambulance service business. But it’s not as easy as it may appear.

The Ambulance Service is a “Business” and should not be treated the same as running a Fire Agency. California Fire agencies are more interested in getting into the ambulance business now more than ever before. We need to understand the business principles of running an ambulance company, have a better understanding of how the fire service fits into the Health Care Ecosystem and develop the skills required to make a complex business decision in preparation for a competitive contracting process.

That’s why Cal Fire Chiefs C&T teamed up with Glenn Leland to create the first ever Cal Fire Chiefs Consulting & Training Ambulance Business Academy. Glenn is a masters prepared business expert with four decades of experience leading some of the most successful ambulance services in the US and beyond. With Glenn’s unequalled knowledge in ambulance business, Cal Fire Chiefs C&T has created a one-of-a-kind, immersive, two-week academy (Split into separate one-week teaching segments), which will define the fundamental knowledge and skills fire service leaders need to know to successfully compete in the ambulance business. Our academy is like a mini-MBA in ambulance business service management, we will cover every aspect of the ambulance business and teach our students the fundamentals of successfully running an ambulance business.

In the future Cal Fire Chiefs C&T may offer add on courses to build on skills and knowledge in specialized focus areas. For example, some advanced students can add on course that goes deeper into flexible deployment planning and others want more practice in the marketing of the department’s proposal to the County. The Ambulance Business Academy is the foundation and required preparation for more advanced master level specialty programs.
