FRV: Percentage of response to structure fire incidents within 7.7 minutes
For the seventeenth consecutive quarter, FRV did not meet its target for responding to structure fire incidents. FRV reported a result of 86.40 per cent this quarter, which is 3.60 per cent short of its target of 90 per cent (Figure 3). FRV last met this target in Q1 2020-21.
FRV attributes its challenges in meeting response targets to three main factors, including location accessibility, limited resource coverage, and turnout times. FRV advises that as part of its service planning efforts, it is working towards a sustainable approach to service delivery, including the need for additional stations and response units to improve geographic and resource coverage. FRV further advises that it plans to conduct an analysis of station layout and turnout protocols to identify further improvements.
