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.

2025 operating budget: Salaries & Wages $10,357,595 + Other Expenses $478,829 = $10,836,424. The study notes this EXCLUDES employee benefits, capital and facility expenses, so it is not full cost — Montclair Local separately cited the CFO at ~$20M all-in incl. benefits/overtime. Glen Ridge reimburses 8.9% (~$972,000).
