Generating % Tables Starting with synthetic data… Differences are found by subtracting the row time data from the column time data.
Generating % Tables Divide differences by the time value of the column.
Generating % Tables Convert to % by multiplying previous by 100.

Crew Size Comparison
Conclusions 1) When responding to medium growth rate fire on the 10 th floor, 3 -person crews ascending to the fire floor confronted an environment where the fire had released 60% more heat energy than the fire encountered by the 6 -person crews doing the same work. Larger fires expose firefighters to greater risks and are more challenging to suppress.
Conclusions 2) Larger fires produce more risk exposure for building occupants. In general, occupants being rescued by smaller crews and by crews that used the stairs rather than the elevators, were exposed to significantly greater dose of toxins from the fire.
Standards of Cover • Resource distribution is associated with – geography of the community – travel time to emergencies • Distribution is typically measured by the percent of the jurisdiction covered by the firstdue units. • Concentration is also about geography – arranging of multiple resources, – spacing them so that an initial "effective response force" can arrive on scene within time frames established
Conclusions 3) Properly engineered and operational fire sprinkler system drastically reduces the risk exposure for both the building occupants and the firefighters. According to NFPA: • ~ 40% of buildings are NOT sprinklered • Sprinkler systems fail in about one in 14 fires Fire departments should be prepared to manage the risks associated with unsprinklered high-rise building fires.

Next Steps 2 nd Edition – Community Risk Assessment: High-Rise Implementation Guide
Matching Resources to Risk If fire department resources (both mobile and personnel) are deployed to match the risk levels inherent to hazards in the community, it has been scientifically demonstrated that the community will be far less vulnerable to negative outcomes in… • firefighter injury and death • civilian injury and death • property loss
Matching Resources to Risk • Following a community hazard/risk assessment, Chiefs must prepare a plan for timely and sufficient coverage of each hazard and the adverse risk events that occur…. Standard of Response Coverage. (Standards of Cover) – Total number of fires occurring annually should NOT be the sole driver of crew size, overall staffing or on scene assembly needs. • Standards of response coverage is defined as the written policies and procedures that establish the distribution and concentration of fixed and mobile resources of an organization
Matching Resources to Risk • Response time goals for first-due units (distribution) and … • Response time goals for the total effective on-scene emergency response force (concentration) … • …Drive fire department objectives like fire station location, apparatus deployed and staffing levels.
Explaining to Decision Makers • If response times and force assembly times are low, … – it is an indicator that sufficient resources have been deployed and outcomes from risk events are more likely to be positive. • Conversely, if response times and force assembly times are high, – it is an indicator of insufficient resources and outcomes from risk events are more likely to be negative.
Fire Service Leaders Faced with Decisions • Decisions must be based on understanding of – relationship between community hazards and associated risk, – basic emergency response infrastructure, including fire department response capability – outcomes of emergency incidents • Considering these three elements AND the tools available to decision makers, a basic community vulnerability formula
Vulnerability Formula Risk Level Too few resources (-) = (-) Outcome Risk Level Appropriate Resources (+) = (+) Outcome
High-Rise Guide (pg 15) • High-Rise/High Hazard • Dispatch 4 engines, 4 trucks, 3 ambulances, 2 BCs • With 5 or 6 FF per company • Initial response total 50 – 58 • First engine in 4 minutes • Full initial alarm in 8 minutes
