10/22 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.

CY2026 adopted appropriation within CAPS: Fire Salary & Wages $20,008,953 + Other Expenses $406,100 = $20,415,053. Hoboken's 25-265 line is unambiguous — it publishes NO Uniform Fire Safety Act appropriation and no civilian sub-line, so nothing is netted out (Uniform Fire Safety Act appears only as a revenue line, FCOA 08-106). CROSS-VERIFIED: this document's 2025 comparative ($19,915,146.02 / $385,000) exactly matches the independently-retrieved CY2025 adopted budget (verified directly at https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/58407e2ebca0e34c30a2d39c/68d5663bced70a0f9cf0bc7a_2025%20Adopted%20Budget%20and%20User%20Friendly%20Budget.pdf, Sheet 15d), whose CY2025 total is $20,300,146.02 — only 0.6% from the CY2026 figure. SUPERSEDES $33,241,128, the CY2025 UFB-7 fully-loaded total (components sum exactly); its pension sits in PFRS FCOA 36-475 ($12,993,000 citywide), outside 25-265.
