While serving in various leadership roles he was an instrumental component in improving the Cinnaminson Fire Department from an ISO Class 4 to a Class 2 organization. This was due to the implementation of a Learning Management System to better track and distribute training for our various members in the department. This classification increase has realized thousands of dollars saved by our taxpayers and business owners yearly in insurance premiums. In the first year as an officer he led the implementation of a fee schedule to allow for the department to recuperate money that is normally lost when providing services to out of town travelers when involved in motor vehicle accident or other motor vehicle related incident.Furthermore, Philip was the key component to establishing the departments first technical technical rescue team specializing in Confined Space Rescue. This team has expanded its services over the years to provide coverage for five separate municipalities. Most importantly, as one of his proudest accomplishments, he established the Emergency Medical Service division for the Cinnaminson Fire Department. This includes modifying the current BLS Engine response, equipment and training reorganizing it into a transport capable service. This division also includes a newly formed Basic Life Support transport unit which is the departments first. This new division required specific licensing of the agency along with the units for state and federal approvals. This new division required the development of Standard Operating Procedures, new hire orientation and employee reviews.
