Abstract:Success to emergency medical and fire services personnel is every injury that has been prevented. In the 1990s, however, it became difficult to maintain prevention programs as budgets declined. The critical components of injury prevention -- problem identification, data collection, resource allocation, and public education -- were adversely affected as dollars became scarce. Fortunately, many emergency medical and fire services turned to creative means to do more with less. One of the most successful approaches was joining with community coalitions. Two emergency medical and fire services agencies demonstrated how they made real savings of lives in their communities by focusing on a single critical problem.
