NFPA Staffing Benchmark

Staffing-only · not a response-time or legal assessment
Governing benchmark
NFPA 1750:2026 · career-department provisions (Ch. 4–6)
NFPA 1750:2026, career-department provisions (Ch. 4–6, §1.3)
Baseline minimum: 4 on-duty per company (baseline)
Higher (zone/hazard) minimum: not assessed (needs sourced zone/hazard evidence)
Publicly reported on-duty staffing
3 per company (officially 3–4, incl. company officer)Partial

Official: 'six fire companies, each with three to four firefighters including a company officer ... on-duty 24/7.' The disclosed floor of 3 per company is below the NFPA 1750:2026 baseline of 4; value recorded as the stated minimum of the 3–4 range.

Assessment · baseline company staffing
Below applicable company staffing benchmark

Disclosed on-duty staffing (3 per company (officially 3–4, incl. company officer)) is below the NFPA 1750:2026 baseline of 4 per company, per Cherry Hill Township / Fire District No. 13. Higher zone/risk company minimums (elevated 5, maximal 6), the effective response force, and response-time objectives were not assessed. Benchmark comparison only — not a legal compliance finding.

Not assessed
  • Higher-risk (zone/hazard) staffing requirement not assessed
  • Effective response force not assessed
  • Response-time performance not assessed

Baseline company-staffing benchmark only. Higher zone/risk company minimums (elevated 5, maximal 6), the effective response force, and response-time objectives were not assessed. NFPA 1750 is a consensus standard unless adopted by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

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.
