Benchmark performance are those values or standards that <br />represent superior performance or best practice. These are also defined as goals to which <br />an organization strives to meet. Baseline performance are those values or standards that <br />represent actual performance based on past data and history. In terms of response time, <br />the baseline performance is generally based on three to five years of data. <br /> <br />4 Community Standards <br /> <br />As noted previously there are four nationally recognized models to use to design and <br />improve a fire protection system in our communities. Each model is based on different <br />aspects of a community from population density, the type of fire department and the r oad <br />miles in the area. <br /> <br />The applicability for the NFPA models is based on the definitions of the fire department <br />servicing the community. <br /> <br />NFPA 1710 Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression <br />Operations, Emergency Medical Operations and Special Operations to the Public by <br />Career Fire Departments was last published in 2020. <br /> <br />• Defines a career fire department as one that utilizes full -time or full-time equivalent <br />(FTE) station-based personnel immediately available to comprise at least 50 percent <br />of an initial full alarm assignment. <br /> <br />NFPA 1720 Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression <br />Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by <br />Volunteer Fire Departments was last published in 2020.
