Off-shift career firefighters and company officers responding on first alarms are <br />considered on the same basis as on-call personnel. For personnel not normally at the fire <br />station, the number of responding firefighters and company officers is divided by 3 to reflect the <br />time needed to assemble at the fire scene and the reduced ability to act as a team due to the <br />various arrival times at the fire location when compared to the personnel on-duty at the fire <br />station during the receipt of an alarm. <br />The number of Public Safety Officers who are positioned in emergency vehicles within the <br />jurisdiction boundaries may be credited based on availability to respond to first alarm structure <br />fires. In recognition of this increased response capability the number of responding Public <br />Safety Officers is divided by 2. <br />The average number of firefighters and company officers responding with those companies <br />credited as Automatic Aid under Items 513 and 549 are considered for either on-duty or on-call <br />company personnel as is appropriate. The actual number is calculated as the average number <br />of company personnel responding multiplied by the value of AA Plan determined in Item 512.D. <br />The maximum creditable response of on-duty and on-call firefighters is 12, including company <br />officers, for each existing engine and ladder company and 6 for each existing service company. <br />Chief Officers are not creditable except when more than one chief officer responds to alarms; <br />then extra chief officers may be credited as firefighters if they perform company duties. <br />The FSRS recognizes 3.00 on-duty personnel and an average of 12.00 on-call personnel <br />responding on first alarm structure fires. <br />Item 571 “Credit for Company Personnel (CCP)” = 4.88 points <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
