The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) offers the only
nationally recognized set of standards for staffing and response times
in their 1710 Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire
Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special
Operations to the Public by Career Fire Departments. NFPA 1710 sets a
very high bar for performance: Minimum of 4-person fire company
staffing, and response times of 6:20 or less 90% of the time for fires
and 6:00 or less 90% of the time for EMS calls. Only one of the
agencies in the study area has adopted NFPA 1710, and none are meeting
the standard. In fact, there are very few fire departments across the
U.S. meeting NFPA 1710 standards; most of those meeting the standard
are in densely populated urban cities
