Several calls were discussed , and Chief informed the board that our mental health calls have increased . Which lead to a discussion where Chief informed the board of UC Health ' s plan to have a roving Community Medical Health Care unit that will provide relief to stations in Windsor, LaSalle , Kersey , Johnstown , Milliken & Evans , all within Weld county . This unit will work on a referral basis and would provide appropriate care to patients that Fire/EMT/Police are running multiple calls on . A possibility of a nurse/behavioral health dispatch line that would limit mental health calls to Law Enforcement/Fire/EMS was also discussed . This dispatch line would provide a more appropriate plan of care for mental health patients .

He also told the Board about our recent wildland team deployment and our engine boss trainee , FF Jefferson Clow' s , training he received while at the August Complex Fires .
