6/22 evidence fields have a public source · latest source 2026. Blank fields mean no public source was found — never that a value is zero.
NFPA Staffing Benchmark
Staffing-only · not a response-time or legal assessmentNot publicly disclosed — no cited on-duty figure. Roster headcount is not on-duty staffing and is not used here.
The governing standard is NFPA 1750:2026 (career-department provisions, Ch. 4–6), but no public source discloses actual on-duty staffing (minimum on-duty, per company, or per apparatus), so no meets/below verdict can be reached. Roster headcount is not on-duty staffing and is not used.
- Higher-risk (zone/hazard) staffing requirement not assessed
- Effective response force not assessed
- Response-time performance not assessed
Requires a cited public source stating minimum on-duty staffing or staffing per company. Higher zone/risk company minimums (elevated 5, maximal 6), the effective response force, and response-time objectives were not assessed.
NFPA 1750:2026 is a consensus deployment standard, not automatically a legal mandate. A department is legally bound only where its Authority Having Jurisdiction has adopted it. This assesses baseline company staffing only — not higher zone/risk staffing, effective response force, or response-time performance — and is not a legal finding.

FY2025 adopted appropriation within CAPS: FIRE-UNIFORM S&W $20,030,000 + FIRE Other Expenses $455,000 = $20,485,000 (2024 comparatives $20,700,000 + $455,000). The 2025 LFRF ARPA Fire Uniform S&W sub-line is blank. EXCLUDES FIRE-NON-UNIFORM S&W $440,000, which sits under a different FCOA (25-242). RECONCILIATION: UFB-7 base pay $19,530,000 + overtime $500,000 = $20,030,000, exactly the S&W appropriation — confirming both documents describe the same department and that S&W is base+OT only. SUPERSEDES a prior $35,234,105 figure that was the UFB-7 FULLY-LOADED personnel total (base+OT+pension $7,226,100+health $5,448,870+taxes $2,529,135); those benefit components are appropriated in OTHER citywide FCOA lines, so that figure was never a fire appropriation. TRANSCRIPTION NOTE: every Bayonne budget PDF is a scanned image with no text layer; Sheet 15a was rendered and read visually, then independently re-read at 150 dpi — the exact base+OT reconciliation corroborates the digits.
Budget figures are public evidence, not fully normalized spending comparisons. Each figure is labelled with the basis it was published on — budgets are only comparable where the basis matches.
