8/22 evidence fields have a public source · latest source 2025. 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 assessmentOfficial: 'three officers and nine firefighters on duty each of four shifts. The career fire stations are manned 24/7.' Department-wide per-shift complement, not a per-company figure.
On-duty staffing is disclosed as a department-wide daily total, not as a per-company figure the NFPA 1750:2026 baseline can be compared to. Department-wide staffing is never divided by stations/companies/apparatus/shifts, so no meets/below verdict is published.
- Higher-risk (zone/hazard) staffing requirement not assessed
- Effective response force not assessed
- Response-time performance not assessed
A per-company on-duty figure is needed to render a baseline company-staffing verdict. 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.
