City of Scottsdale Fire Department Arizona Standards of Coverage and Deployment Plan 2015 Standards of Coverage and Deployment Plan Scottsdale Fire Department, Arizona Introduction The following report serves as the Scottsdale Fire Department Standards of Coverage and Deployment Plan. It follows closely the Center for Fire Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) Standards of Coverage model that develops written procedures to determine the distribution and concentration of a fire and emergency service agency’s fixed and mobile resources. The purpose for completing such a document is to assist the agency in ensuring a safe and effective response force for fire suppression, emergency medical services, and specialty response situations. Creating a Standards of Coverage and Deployment Plan document requires that a number of areas be researched, studied, and evaluated. This report will begin with an overview of both the community and the agency. Following this overview, the plan will discuss areas such as risk assessment, critical task analysis, agency service level objectives, and distribution and concentration measures. The report will provide analysis of historical performance and will conclude with policy and operational recommendations. ESCI extends its appreciation to the elected officials and members of the City of Scottsdale, the Scottsdale Fire Department, and all others who contributed to this plan. i Standards of Coverage and
