Standards of Cover Document Page Left Intentionally Blank COMMUNITY RISK ASSESSMENT AND STANDARDS OF COVER INTRODUCTION This report serves as the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department’s (FCFRD) “Integrated Risk Management Plan: “Standards of Cover” document. The Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) defines the process known as “deployment analysis” as a written procedure which determines the distribution and concentration of fixed and mobile resources of an organization. The purpose for completing this document is to assist the FCFRD in ensuring a safe and effective response force for emergency medical services, fire suppression, and specialty response situations. This document conforms to the 6th edition of the CFAI Standards of Cover guidelines. The creation of this Standards of Cover was a collaboration internally and with external stakeholders and required that a number of key areas be researched, studied, and evaluated. The report begins with an overview of both the community and the fire service. Following this overview, the agency will discuss areas such as risk assessment, critical task analysis, agency service level objectives, and distribution and concentration measures. The FCFRD will provide documentation of reliability studies and historical performance through charts and graphs. This report concludes with policy recommendations. Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department is an “ALL-Hazards” Department providing emergency medical response, fire suppression, technical rescue, hazardous materials response, fire inspections, public education, investigation, and community training and education.

Within this document, FCFRD presents a risk assessment; department and system performance; drive time analysis; established baselines; benchmarks and service level objectives for all emergency services; and an explanation of the methodologies incorporated in this data compilation.

For over 30 years prior, men volunteered their services as firefighters to the county. On July 1, 1949, 10 career firefighters were hired and assigned to the 11 volunteer stations throughout the county. These firefighters served primarily as apparatus drivers during the day and responded to “after hours” calls from their homes. At that time, Fairfax County was showing signs of rapid expansion. The housing boom following World War II brought an influx of growth and new communities to Fairfax. In order to respond to the community’s needs, additional volunteer fire stations

    FAIRFAX COUNTY FIRE & RESCUE DEPARTMENT STANDING ORDER NUMBER: 2017-003 ISSUED BY: Fire Chief Richard Bowers CFAI PI: 7F.4 APPROVED BY: DATE: March 10, 2017 Fire Chief Richard Bowers FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: Respiratory Protection During Overhaul Operations EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately With the growing scientific information linking cancer to firefighting, and in an effort to promote health and wellness of our personnel, the use of respiratory protection during overhaul is mandatory. The mandated use of respiratory protection during overhaul applies to all operational personnel and shall be adhered to regardless of jurisdiction (e.g. mutual aid and automatic aid to neighboring jurisdictions). The department is striving to reduce the incidence of cancer among personnel by mandating the use of appropriate respiratory protection during the entirety of overhaul operations. Off-gassing of hazardous compounds and known carcinogens continues to occur even after the production of visible smoke has stopped. Firefighter exposures during overhaul have the potential to cause changes in spirometry and lung permeability. One of the routes of greatest concern for entry of carcinogens into the body is through the lungs, when firefighters prematurely remove their Self- Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), especially during overhaul. Incident scenes requiring overhaul will be divided into three phases. Phase I – This phase begins with fire suppression activities and continues until the fire is knocked down, ventilation is performed and the Safety Officer (SAFO) confirms an Immediate Danger to Life and Health (IDLH) atmosphere no longer exists. Once no visible fire or smoke is evident, the SAFO will perform atmospheric monitoring utilizing the MultiRAE 5 gas meter.

  • 6.13 Public Services – Fire Protection
    6.13 PUBLIC SERVICES – FIRE PROTECTION 6.13.1 OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY Fire protection services would be provided to the proposed project by the Ventura County Fire Protection District (VCFPD) under contract with the City of Camarillo. The VCFPD’s resources are adequate to serve the proposed project, and response times to service calls at the proposed project site would meet District standards. The proposed project site is located near areas designated by the state as medium fire hazard, and by the VCFPD as high fire hazard areas. As the project site is in a fire hazard area, impacts would be potentially significant without mitigation. 6.13.2 LITERATURE AND DATA REVIEW The following sources provided information used in this analysis: • Ventura County Fire Protection District. Unit Strategic Fire Plan. 2016. • Ventura County Fire Protection District. 2014 Annual Report. • John Dodd, Fire Inspector, Ventura County Fire Protection District. 6.13.3 METHODOLOGY Analysis of fire protection services is concerned with response time, firefighter-to-population ratios, and water fire-flow service to the area that is in question. Response times to an area influence the ability of a fire department to serve a development, county, city, or other populated area in a timely and efficient manner. The further a fire department (fire station) is from a populated area, it would be expected that response times would be longer and delayed. An analysis of response times for fire departments serving a development should be completed in order to determine if the fire department has sufficient resources to arrive to a fire or other medical emergency in a timely fashion.
