Quick Tip: eMEDS enables you to type only part of a word in many pick lists. If you are working in a panel you opened by clicking the bullet list symbol, you’ll have this option.
For example, typing Ca will result in a short pick list that includes Cancer as well as Cardiac.

Need to add a second patient report to an incident? Maybe more? The following assumes you already have at least one patient report started.
INCIDENT REPORT vs. UNIT REPORT – Who is in charge?
Incident reports are for reporting what happened on the INCIDENT. It is written by the Officer in Charge (Incident Commander) and, yes, every incident has an Incident Commander (even a single EMS unit response). The report may include information such as:
Unit reports are for reporting the details as they relate to a specific UNIT. It is written by the Unit Officer and may include information such as:
Also, it is important to point out that when you get on the scene of any incident, and you place the responding unit(s) in service, you automatically become the Incident Commander, even if you were not originally dispatched on the call. For example, while driving to the PSTA on a training detail, you come across a PIC that other units have been dispatched to, but you determine that it is a PDC and you clear all of the responding units. You just became the Incident Commander. If you make the decision to clear the assignment, you are now the only one who knows the situation that was found on the call, and why the decision was made to place the other units in service, so you are now responsible for documenting that information on the Incident Report.
Engine cancelled enroute?
If the engine arrives on the scene, the engine officer should complete the incident report. If the engine is cancelled before arriving, then the engine officer should not do the incident report.
Searching for the right entry for a field in your FireApp report? Not sure what the difference is between two codes? Here are links that may help:
Because they’re PDFs, you can search for a specific word or phrase. Just press Ctrl-F (Find) on your keyboard for a search box when you load up the PDF.
Scenario: E702 and A702 have been dispatched on a call and E702 is cancelled enroute but A702 works the call. A702 takes the person to the hospital. The E702 officer returns to the station to work on his/her FireApp reports and marks both the unit and incident report as cancelled.
Might this sound familiar? Since A702 personnel still had a patient and a transport, FireApp is confused.
The MCFRS database administrator spends a lot of time clearing up such issues before he may send date to NFIRS.
If your unit was cancelled enroute, you absolutely want to identify that in the unit report. Please do not mark the entire incident as cancelled, though.
Effective 2015, all MCG employees have some new pay codes to use in MCtime. The previous guideline never to use unscheduled leave types is now incorrect and employees must use the appropriate codes. Here is a link for the MCG document which defines every code.
Scenario: You recently changed your network password, consistent with county policy. However, the account keeps locking up on you (as though you have keyed in the wrong password three times). Why does this keep happening?
Occasionally, we all set up e-mail accounts on various devices and forget about them. Have you recently used a different device? Your own? A friend’s/spouse’s/partner’s? In this scenario, you probably set it up at some point over the last three months and then didn’t use it again. You changed your password on the primary device you often use (computer/tablet/phone) and now the old device is trying to access mail with the wrong password. It tries three times and locks up the account.
What to do?
Delete the account setup on those old devices. Reset your password using the Reset Password link on ePortal (instead of signing in). Log in with the new password.
Managers may need to check up on the MCtime activity of any employee in order to determine if (s)he has performed certain functions. Use the following directions to run a report instead of looking through various timecard audit trails.
Note: If the report does not open, it is probably a pop-up blocker issue. You will need to disable the pop-up blocker for this site in order to view the reports.
