By Andrew Whitfield My Community First Responder audit, 2025, using my own on-call hours and call-out data. For my first post of 2026, I audited my 2025 year as a SECAmb Community First Responder, and as a trustee of Uckfield and Area Community First Responders (Charity Registration 1209095). The headline numbers surprised me. 2025, in numbers (CFR on-call readiness only) ·       1,362 hours 35 minutes on call, being ready ·       260 call-outs ·       C1 104, C2 149, C3 7 ca
