REASONS FOR INCREASED STAFFING
• HAZARDOUS NATURE OF THE JOB
• NFPA RECOMENDATION IS 4 FIREFIGHTERS
• EFFICIENCY AT EMERGENCY IS COMPROMISED
• PUBLIC SAFETY CAN BE COMPROMISED
• RESPONSE OF VOLUNTEERS IS NOT AS DEPENDABLE AS IN THE PAST
NFPA 1710
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARD FOR STAFFING AND RESPONSE
TIME
NOT A REGULATION BUT A RECOMMENDATION THAT TENDS TO BE VIEWED AS THE ACCEPTED INDUSTRY
STANDARD
MOST FIRE DEPARTMENTS STRIVE TO COMPLY TO MINIMIZE LIABILITY IN THE
ABSENCE OF ANY STATUTORY REGULATIONS
WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER TO FIND A SOLUTION TO STAFFING
SO WE CAN BETTER SERVE THE CITIZENS OF SUTTER COUNTY AND
HAVE A SAFER AND MORE EFFICIENT WORKING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR
FIREFIGHTERS
