Deanne Taylor

Biography

Managing the mountains of paperwork generated by a fire department can be an overwhelming task. Generating letters and memo’s for the Chief and Fire Marshal, completing employee payroll, filing incident documentation, tracking and paying invoices, answering phones, and filing ambulance billing are just some of the many responsibilities of our secretarial staff.

Deanne Taylor has been with the department since 1990. She helped guide our department through it’s tremendous growth and is very knowledgeable about all fire department operations. Her primary responsibilities are accounts payable and ambulance billing. She generates invoices for our customers after being transported by ambulance, works with insurance companies and Medicaid/Medicare for reimbursement and handles the accounting of our ambulance enterprise fund. Many fire and EMS departments elect to have a private company manage ambulance billing, but Deanne does so with such efficiency that our collection rates are often higher than those of the private collection agencies.
