V - Executive Summary
The Fayetteville Fire Department's (FFD) Community Risk Assessment Ft Standards of Cover is a
comprehensive document reviewing the characteristics of the community, programs offered by the
department, risk assessment of the community, community feedback, program goals and objectives,
deployment and performance, current deployment performance, and plan maintenance.
Characteristics of the community consist of a history of the community and the fire department, fire
planning zones, critical infrastructure, geography, geology topography, climate, and population. The City of
Fayetteville was established in 1836, fire department in 1869, and the university in 1871. The city is 55
square miles and has a population of almost 100,000. The university has almost 30,000 students but hosts
over 70,000 people during sporting events. The city is divided into nine fire planning zones for fire response
and incident analysis. The city has 212 smaller planning zones that are utilized for population and incident
analysis. The city's critical infrastructure consists of: Interstate 49; Arkansas Ft Missouri Railroad; miles of
street, trails, and sidewalks; water and sewer line; sewer treatment plants; communication networks; and
energy network.
The FFD is composed of nine fully staffed stations, ten fire companies and two battalions. Fire
Administration Division has 7 personnel, Operations Division has 121 personnel, Prevention Division has 8
personnel, and Training Division has 4 personnel. The programs and services offered by each division are as
follows: Administration Division provides support for the other divisions, planning, and emergency
management. Fire Prevention Division provides fire safety and prevention program, inspection program, and
fire investigation, origin, and cause program. Operations division provides fire suppression, emergency
medical services, hazmat, technical rescue, and aircraft rescue firefighting. Training Division provides the
safety and wellness program as well as training for the fire personnel.
The Community Risk Assessment divided the city into nine fire response planning zones. Then the incident
types were grouped into fire, emergency medical services, technical rescue, hazmat, and aircraft rescue
firefighting. The incidents were further divided into low, moderate, high, and maximum risk based on
probability of occurrence, the consequences of the event, and lastly the impact of the event.
The FFD solicits community feedback from its internal and external stakeholders and the AHJ on a regular
basis using social media, internal and external question -and -answer platforms, public education sessions,
surveys, and local government meetings.
The FFD adopted formal program appraisals for all programs. From the appraisal process, Poals and
objectives for each program were created. The appraised programs include: Fire Prevention, Public
Education, Fire Investigation, Domestic Preparedness, Fire Suppression, Emergency Medical Service,
Technical Rescue, Hazmat, Aircraft Rescue Firefighting, Training, Communications, and Health Ft Safety.
The FFD strives to deliver consistent service levels throughout the city. The FFD analyzed the deployment
and performance for each program. Benchmarks were established for each program and then the benchmark
times were compared to the baseline response times for each program.
After evaluating total response times, the FFD further analyzed the current deployment performance. A
deeper analysis was completed of the components of the total response time. In addition to response time
another component is considered, resilience. This process exposes service gaps in those programs.
Lastly a plan was established to maintain continuous improvement into the future.

VI - Documentation of Area Characteristics
Introduction
The Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) initiated the self -assessment process for achieving international
accreditation through the Center for Public Safety and Excellence (CPSE) in 2016 The department is
committed to achieving accredited status to demonstrate its ability to provide superior service to the
community served, enhancing the growth of the organization, staff, and fire service capabilities. The
department views the accreditation process as essential to continue ensuring the highest level of public
safety services for the City of Fayetteville and maintaining its relevance within the fire service community.
The accreditation project has been a collaborative process within the department, members with varying
knowledge, expertise, and tenure contributed substantially to its written content. In addition to department
members, employees from other City of Fayetteville divisions contributed information, data, and
prospective from their fields of work.
Prior to 2024, the department did not have a standards of cover document or official statement to guide
operations. Instead, it operated under various Administrative Operating Policies (AOPs), Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs), and Emergency Operating Guidelines (EOGs).
The following introduction will provide an overview of the city and department's legal basis, history of the
community Et department, geographical location, topographical characteristics, and underlying geographic
features.
City Et Agency Legal Basis
The City of Fayetteville was legally established as the seat of Washington County on October 17, 1828,
originally as the Town of Washington Courthouse. On November 3, 1836, the first State Legislature of
Arkansas passed an "Act to Incorporate the Town of Fayetteville" legally dissolving the unincorporated
Town of Washington Courthouse and establishing the incorporated Town of Fayetteville. On August 23, 1870,
the town was dissolved, and the City of Fayetteville was incorporated as a second-class city. On June 19th,
1905, the City of Fayetteville became a city of the first class.
The Code of Arkansas A.C.A. § 14-53-101 requires "the governing body of a city shall establish fire
departments and provide them with proper engines and such other equipment as shall be necessary to
extinguish fires and preserve the property of the city and of the inhabitants from conflagration." The
formal establishment of the Fayetteville Fire Department by the City of Fayetteville is not well
documented, however, according to the few documents that have been located, including the book One
Hundred Years of Fayetteville 1828-1928 by William Campbell, the generally accepted year of establishment
is 1869 and the first recorded fire chief of the department was George Albright.
No legal paperwork can be found in the city archives nor state records to definitively corroborate the
historical claim of the department's establishment date. Due to the lack of historical legal documents the
Fayetteville City Council adopted ordinance number 6683 officially establishing The Fayetteville Fire
Department post hoc on September 19, 2023.

History of the Community
The City of Fayetteville is the second -most populous city in Arkansas and the most populous city in
Northwest Arkansas. Known as Washington Courthouse until 1829, the city was renamed by popular vote
after Fayetteville, Tennessee, from which many of the settlers had migrated from. Fayetteville is included
in the three -county Northwest Arkansas Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is ranked 100th in terms of
population in the United States with 576,403 residents in 2022 according to the United States Census
Bureau. The city had a population of 99,285 in 2022. (US Census Bureau, 2023)
In 1871 the state's flagship university, the primary campus of the University of Arkansas, was established in
Fayetteville. When classes are in session, thousands of students on campus change up the pace of the city
and increase the city's population exponentially. Thousands of Arkansas Razorbacks alumni and fans travel
to Fayetteville to attend football, basketball, track and field events, and baseball games. The home of
Razorback Football, Donald W Reynolds Stadium, has a seating capacity of 76,000, Razorback Basketball
Stadium Bud Walton Arena seats 19,200, and Baum -Walker Stadium the home field of the Diamond Hogs has
a maximum capacity of 10,737. The City of Fayetteville is colloquially known as the "Track Capital of the
World" due to the success and prestige of the University of Arkansas cross country and track Et field
programs. The University's men's cross country and track and field programs have won a combined 41
national championships to date with the women's teams adding 5 national championships since 2015.
The city is the first in America to be awarded the designation of "Bike City" by The Union Cycliste
Internationale (UCI), the world governing body of cycling. It was given the title in 2021 due to it not only
hosting major UCI cycling events, but also its work in developing cycling through programs and
infrastructure.
The city hosts the Walmart Shareholders Meetings each year at Bud Walton Arena.
Financial Basis
Fayetteville is home to a diverse manufacturing base consisting of electronics, machining, plastics, home
goods, and industrial food production. The Fayetteville Fire Department is primarily funded through a
combination of sales and property taxes. A budget breakdown is provided in Appendix A.

Histor%/ of the Agenr
Today, the Fayetteville Fire Department is a progressive, all -hazards emergency services response agency
that includes fire suppression, emergency medical services, technical rescue, hazmat response, aircraft
rescue Et firefighting, code enforcement, arson investigation and public education. These services are
provided by 134 uniformed members from 9 fire stations with state-of-the-art apparatus, rescue, and
medical equipment. Our firefighters are committed to delivering the finest customer service possible.
For the last 24 years the department has aggressively pursued a modernization initiative in training, tactics,
facilities, and equipment. The leadership and members recognize this is a never-ending endeavor and are
committed to continuous improvement.

Communitv Boundaries
Fayetteville's city limits have grown exponentially since the original settlement of 1828. While the city saw
mild growth from its inception, the first wave of rapid growth came immediately after World War II and
lasted until the early 1970's. With the oil embargo of 1973 - 1974, city annexation slowed, and more effort
was directed toward infill of land already in the city Map 1: Station Response Areas
limits and improving city services. During this time,
several well-known global corporations were established
in the Northwest Arkansas region such as Wal-Mart,
Tyson Foods, and JB Hunt Trucking. When these three
corporations matured in the mid 1990's along with a
healthy national economy, a new economic boon was
spurred in the region. With the influx of new funds and a
growing population, a new annexation expansion of
Fayetteville began. From 1993 to 2008, the city began
incorporating county areas west of Interstate 49 meeting
the city limits of Farmington and Wheeler, and to the

and Goshen. In the northern part of the city the limits of
Springdale and Johnson had long ago been met as well as
to the south meeting the city of Greenland.
Service Area Boundarie,
Service area boundaries are the municipal boundary of
the city limits of Fayetteville. The Fayetteville Fire
Department (FFD) has automatic aid agreements with
the surrounding communities, so the FFD responds
beyond the municipal boundaries. Automatic aid
boundaries with all fire departments bordering the city
are documented between the individual outside agencies
and the department. The Fayetteville Geographic
Information System (GIS) Department maintains all
boundaries. The Assistant Chief of Operations meets with
representatives of neighboring fire departments to

discuss response needs and deployment models. The
auto -aid department's respective Fire Chief approves changes to these areas, and updates are provided to
GIS, the Washington County Department of Emergency Management, and the respective dispatch centers.
The department has outlying areas that fall outside our goal response time of four minutes, and our auto -aid
partners help fill those gaps. The smaller city and county fire departments are limited in staffing, especially
during working hours, so FFD has been able to help ensure their citizens have the protection they need.
The GIS department regularly works with the department to ensure up-to-date information and maps are
available. In addition, GIS updates the CAD daily to ensure that mobile data terminals in the responding
apparatus have the most up-to-date information possible.
Fayetteville is bordered on the north by the City of Springdale and the City of Johnson. To the east,
Fayetteville is bordered by the unincorporated community of Round Mountain and the City of Goshen. To the
south, Fayetteville is bordered by the City of Greenland, which is provided fire protection by the City of
West Fork. To the west, Fayetteville is bordered by the City of Farmington and the unincorporated
communities of Wedington and Wheeler.

Fire Planning Zones
The Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) currently utilizes
two levels of geographical planning zones. The first level
of geographical planning zones utilized are first due
station response areas. These response areas are
established by a GIS modeling program based on drive
time between individual addresses and fire station
locations. The second level, 212 "Fire Planning Zones"
have been created utilizing the US National Grid System
1,000-meter squares for a more granular analysis of the
city. The City of Fayetteville is divided into nine primary
station response areas corresponding to the nine staffed
stations of the Fayetteville Fire Department.
Additionally, a response area for Interstate 49 is utilized.
This is the primary level used statistical analysis. The fire
district boundaries are established and maintained based
on travel distance and time from each station by the
city's Geographic Information System (GIS) with
extensive input from the department.
The "Fire Planning Zones" provide a more granular
analysis of the city. Data from these squares are used to
determine the need for additional resources and
facilities, identify service gaps, and predict the service
impact of growth and development. The department's
primary fire suppression and service response area
encompasses the entirety of the city limits of
Fayetteville. The department has written automatic aid
agreements with the neighboring departments that
border the city.

critical Infrastructure
The department utilized the ESRI Accreditation Map 5: Critical Infrastructure
Solution to perform a critical infrastructure
assessment in 2022. This information identifies
all critical infrastructure within the city and
assigns a risk level by planning zone. The
information is available through a GIS map as
well as a spreadsheet. Critical infrastructure has
been made available to responding units using
GIS mapping available in apparatus mobile data
terminals (MDTs), however the use of this data
has not been fully utilized in emergency
deployment to date. The department is
evaluating new records management and
response software packages that would allow for
better utilization of critical infrastructure

information for all personnel. Critical infrastructure identified in the city falls into four categories:
Transportation, Communication, Energy, and Water.
Trancnnrtatinn Svctamc Fr Natwnrkc

Transportation throughout the city is primarily on paved road surfaces. Interstate 49 traverses Fayetteville
from North to South and was originally designed to be a west side two lane highway bypass of the city when
it was constructed in the 1970's as part of the realignment of old US-71 and was designated "US-71A." The
old section that runs North to South through the middle of the city was designated "US-71 B." In the 1980s,
US-71A was expanded to four lanes to accommodate the growing population along with the addition of
overpasses for US-62/6th Street (now Martin Luther King Blvd), AR-16 (Wedington Drive), Porter Road (now
Stephen Carr Memorial Blvd), and AR-112 (Garland Ave). 1991 began the construction of Interstate 540 from
Fort Smith to the Missouri border and US-71A was absorbed into 1-540. Construction began on a six -lane
widening project on 1-540 from the south Fayetteville city limits to the Missouri border in early 2012 with
Phase 1 beginning in Fayetteville. Construction was completed within the Fayetteville city limits by winter
2016, followed by the entire project being completed winter 2017. During construction in 2014, 1-540 from
Fort Smith to Missouri was redesignated Interstate 49 (1-49). (ARDOT, 2022)
The most recent traffic data study available from the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT, 2022)
shows a low count of 30,000 to a high count of 90,000 motor vehicles utilizing 1-49 within the Fayetteville
city limits daily.
Other major thoroughfares in Fayetteville include US-71 B, AR-16, AR-45, AR-62, AR-112, and AR-265.

Transportation - Mass Transit
Mass transit in the city is provided by buses operated by Ozark Regional Transit (ORT) and Razorback
Transit. ORT operates several routes internally in Fayetteville and external routes serving the rest of
Northwest Arkansas. Their headquarters are in Springdale, Arkansas. Razorback Transit, owned and operated
by the University of Arkansas, operates routes inside the city and has their main hub station located on the
University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville.
Transportation - Trail Network
Fayetteville owns and maintains an extensive
paved trail network. Currently the city has
51.5 miles of paved walking and biking trails
and 56 miles of soft surface trails. Long range
plans include trail access within 1/2 mile of
every resident.
Transportation - Rail
The Arkansas Et Missouri Railroad (AEtM) owns
and operates a well -maintained north/south
rail line through the geographical center of
Fayetteville serving mainly freight
transportation; however, AEtM does offer
passenger excursion tours several times a year

between Northwest Arkansas and Fort Smith. The department has conducted training with AEtM personnel in
the past for rail emergencies but does not currently have training scheduled with the corporation.
Transportation - Air
The City of Fayetteville Municipal Airport, Drake Field, is located near the southern boundary of the city
near US-71 and serves several private charter airline companies that transport people and goods daily. Drake
Field is classified as a an "Index B" airport. The department staffs a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
certified Aircraft Rescue Firefighting (ARFF) emergency response force (ERF) 365 days a year.
Transportation - Water
The city is landlocked. While there are several rivers and lakes within the response area, water -based
freight transportation is not a concern. The department is equipped and trained to conduct swift water
rescues should an incident occur. The department does conduct several swift water rescues a year due to
flooding after heavy rains.

Communication
The Fayetteville Fire Department's portable, mobile, and fixed communication system is part of a county
wide 700/800 MHz P25 simulcast system that operates within the Arkansas Wireless Information Network
(AWIN). The system provides the department with 95% coverage, interoperable public safety system for fire,
police, and other city agencies to communicate. The department can communicate with aid partners local,
regional, and statewide on the AWIN system. The communication system is maintained by a 24/7 Central
Dispatch Center (CDC) located inside Fayetteville Police Headquarters.
CDC is overseen by the Fayetteville Police Department with the Dispatch Manager being the primary point of
contact for the FFD through the Assistant Chief of Operations. The center is the Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP) and receives 911 cellular and landline calls inside the City of Fayetteville. In the event of the
call center becoming overwhelmed or experiencing an interruption in service, calls roll over to an alternate
PSAP/Dispatch Center located at Central EMS headquarters. As with all department stations, CDC is
equipped with a standalone backup generator. Tower sites and associated equipment are equipped with
backup generators to sustain operation during power failures.
Community emergency alerts are primarily handled through Informacast, FEMA Integrated Public Alert it
Warning System (IPAWS), local media, NOAA alerts, Notify Me, and Smart911.
Notify Me and Smart911 are free to citizens to opt into for usage. Notify Me is primarily used by the City of
Fayetteville for non -emergency alerts. A statewide license for Smart911 was purchased by the State of
Arkansas in 2012 with the goal of providing every resident access to the system free of charge. (Bryan,
Wayne - Arkansas Democrat -Gazette, 2012)
CDC has fully intergraded Smart911 into the CAD system and receives information from callers if they have
set up an account. Informacast is integrated with IPAWS and will send an alert to every mobile device within
the city such as an AMBER Alert or broadcast from the national Emergency Alert System (EAS).
Energy
Map 7: Critical Infrastructure Assessment - Utilities
Electricity is provided to the city from two
utilities. Ozarks Electric Cooperative is a
non-profit member -owned cooperative with
their primary focus on providing electric
service to the rural areas of Northwest
Arkansas. Ozarks Electric is the primary
service provider for power to many of the
homes and businesses that have been
annexed into Fayetteville that were once
part of Washington County. The resources
Ozarks Electric utilizes to generate power
are hydro, methane gas, and solar. (Ozarks
Electric, 2023) Transmission lines are both
above and below ground.
The main provider of electricity to the city
0 0 75 1 5 3 4.5
® Miles Created: 7/812022
is Southwestern Electric Power Company
(SWEPCO). SWEPCO's primary focus is providing power to the urban and more densely populated part of
Fayetteville. Their transmission lines are above and below ground. The resources SWEPCO utilizes to
generate power are natural gas, coal, and wind.
The sole provider of natural gas to Fayetteville is Black Hills Energy.
12 Table of Contents
All FFD stations have been built or retrofitted with whole building backup generators that draw their fuel
from underground natural gas lines in the event of a loss of electricty. Regular checks, maintenance, and
repairs are handled by a qualified private contractor.
Water
The water supply for the City of Fayetteville originates from Beaver Water District and is overseen by
Fayetteville Water and Sewer. This utility serves residential, commercial, and industrial clients across the
city, neighboring smaller municipalities, and Washington County citizens. Fayetteville Water and Sewer
approximates an average daily supply of 18,500,000 gallons with the capacity to reach 40,000,000 gallons
per day if needed. The city's utility infrastructure is well-equipped to meet this daily demand.
A comprehensive water maintenance initiative is in place to manage the water distribution systems and
accommodate growth in Fayetteville, Farmington, Goshen, Greenland, portions of Johnson, and Wheeler.
This program collaborates with other divisions, consulting engineers and contractors to address all aspects of
the water system.
Geography
Fayetteville is in Washington County,
Arkansas. Geographically the city is on the
outskirts of the Boston Mountains, deep
within the Ozarks, located in the northwest
corner of the state. The city lies 60 miles
north of Fort Smith, Arkansas, 30 miles east
of the Arkansas/Oklahoma border, 40 miles
south of the Arkansas/Missouri border, and

Flooding can occur in low lying areas but
does not remain flooded for extended periods due to the excellent natural drainage from the many creeks
and streams. Winter weather can pose a challenge for emergency responses. Operations crews are trained
to be proactive if snow and ice are forecasted and stations have appropriate snow chains and ice cables for
their apparatus ready to be installed.
The Fayetteville Transportation Division is proactive when harsh weather is predicted, often blocking known
roads that flood before a storm moves into the area and applying sand and/or ice melt to bridges and hills
before freezing precipitation. The FFD and Transportation Division have a good working relationship and
regularly communicate during adverse weather conditions.

Geology 8t Physiography
The eastern and southern portions of the FFD response area are hilly uplands. The portions to the west and
north are more level and consist of deep soil. Most of Fayetteville is underlain by the Fayetteville Shale and
Boone Limestone formations. The rock is dense and somewhat resistant to weathering. The United States
Department of Agriculture describes the local surface soils as "consisting of deep, well drained, moderately
permeable soils that formed in residuum or colluvium from slightly calcareous sandstone." (United States
Department of Agriculture, 2003)
Prehistoric geologic activity in the region has caused faults wherein sub -surface areas have separated,
creating a fault line or crack along where one area can move independent of another. Two such faults have
been found within the general Fayetteville area. The Fayetteville fault dissects the middle of the city from
southwest to northeast. The White River fault runs west -east along the area between northern Fayetteville
and southern Springdale. No seismic activity has been experienced in either of these faults in recorded
history.
The physiography of Fayetteville can be described as woodland forest and savanna. The native deciduous
trees are a mix of oak species, hickory, black walnut, maples, pecan, and other hardwoods. The only pine
trees native to Northwest Arkansas are the Shortleaf Pine and Loblolly Pine.

Climate
Fayetteville has a humid subtropical climate. The region experiences all four seasons and does receive cold
air masses from the north; however, some of the Arctic masses are blocked by the higher elevations of the
Ozarks. July is the hottest month of the year, with an average high of 88X F and an average low of 69.4° F.
Temperatures above 100°F occur, on average, 3 times a year. January is the coldest month with an average
high of 46.5 ° F and an average low of 26.9 ° F. Temperatures below 32 ° F occur on average 10.4 times a year,
with 0.6 nights per year dropping below 0°F. The city's highest temperature was 110°F, recorded on August
3, 2011. The lowest temperature recorded was -24° F, on February 12, 1899. (NOAA, March 15, 2021)
Precipitation is weakly seasonal, with a bimodal pattern: wet seasons in the spring and fall, and relatively
drier summers and winters, but some rain in all months. The spring wet season is more pronounced than
fall, with the highest rainfall in May. This differs slightly from the climate in central Arkansas, where the fall
wet season is more comparable to spring.
The Fayetteville -area historical tornado activity is near Arkansas state average. It is 86% greater than the
overall U.S. average. Tornadoes can happen any time of year in Arkansas, but the two main tornado seasons
are March to May and November to January.

Using GIS modeling, potential locations for three new
fire stations were pinpointed. This process was utilized to determine the location for the addition of
Stations 8 and 9 and the creation of corresponding response areas. Land was secured in those locations, with
help from a bond approval, and the property was secured. Fire Stations 8 and 9 were opened and placed in
service at the end of 2022. This process also led to the relocation of Station 2, which is under construction
as of this writing. The next areas of focus will be northeast, and west, depending on the data once the new
Station 2 is in operation.

Community Consequences
The department utilizes records management software (RMS) to report monthly to the National Fire Incident
Reporting System (NFIRS). The statistical data gathered contains information on property loss and civilian
and firefighter injury and death. The data stored in RMS has satisfied all NFIRS requirements and has
provided valuable statistical data for the department to analyze and report on. Data on property loss is
provided in quarterly and annual reports, which are provided to all personnel, along with the governing
body, and are available to the public. The department plans to continue to collect property, life, and
environmental loss data for required reporting and future analysis.
Community Characteristics
The department utilized the ESRI Accreditation Solution to identify response characteristics such as
population density, transportation systems, land use, and physical characteristics. The City of Fayetteville's
GIS department assigned this task to a dedicated analyst. These characteristics have been applied to the
Fire Planning Zones, mapped, and are available in data form for further analysis. Different aspects of the
data have been used when creating and modifying response areas and fire quadrants. The data and maps
were utilized in determining the new station locations. GIS used transportation system components and
topography when projecting apparatus response times and routes to be uploaded into the CAD for proximity
dispatching and this integration has improved our response. The department hired a dedicated Emergency
Manager in 2023 who will utilize the response area characteristics going forward to improve the services
provided to the community and inform continued development of the city's emergency response guide.
Demographics - Year 2020
Census data over the last two decades shows that Fayetteville is slowly, but gradually becoming more
racially diverse. In the year 2000, 86.5 percent of residents identified themselves as white, by the year 2020
this number has decreased to 76.13 percent. Almost every other ethnic group has increased in population
numbers as a percent of the overall population with Hispanics seeing the largest increase, from 4.9 percent
in 2000 to 7.5 percent by 2020. The 2020 census race demographics are shown in the graph below.

Support Services
Support is staffed by assistant chief of support, a financial analyst, an administrative assistant, and a fire
equipment maintenance technician. Support is responsible for: Finance and budget; fire station design,
construction, maintenance, and repair; and equipment acquisition, testing, maintenance, and repair.
Finance Et Budget
The Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) is funded from the sales tax operations fund and capital
improvement fund. Annually the FFD must submit a budget. The budget supports current operations, and all
new requests are based on the needs of the strategic plan. The budget is then prepared by the city's budget
department and is then approved by Council. Through the budget approval process, the funds are
appropriated for the following year. Finance handles payroll, benefits, and procurement of supplies.
Station Design and Construction
After the need for a new fire station is established and the location determined, the support division works
with the architect and contractor to design and build the station.
Station Maintenance and Repair
The support division is the clearing house for all station repairs and maintenance. Minor repairs and
maintenance are completed by support. Support coordinates normal repairs and maintenance with the City's
facilities management department.
Equipment Maintenance and Repair
The fire equipment maintenance technician oversees the maintenance and repairs of all equipment,
including fleet vehicles and apparatus. They maintain, repair, and test our self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA), SCBA fill stations, and bunker gear. They coordinate the annual testing of fire hose, fire
pumps, ladders, and the aircraft rescue firefighting (ARFF) truck.
Planninr
Planning is staffed with a battalion chief. It is tasked with department long range goals. Data analysis of call
trends, identification of population growth areas, and identifying locations for future station locations are
some of the chief concerns of planning. Planning is also tasked with department policy and guideline
creation/maintenance and managing the accreditation program.
Emergency Management
The department has a full-time emergency manager who is responsible for maintaining the city Emergency
Operations Plan (EOP), coordination with all city departments, critical community partners, local and
mutual aid emergency services, Washington County Office of Emergency Management, and the Arkansas
Department of Emergency Management.
The EOP is an extension of the Washington County EOP, as all requests for assistance at the state and
federal level must be requested through Washington County Emergency Management. The EOP has city
contacts, resources, and target hazard information that are specific to emergencies that fall within the
boundaries of Fayetteville.
The EOP follows the FEMA National Response Framework. Included in the document are guidelines for all job
duties and responsibilities for each Emergency Support Function. The EOP adheres to the use of NIMS and
ICS. Threat and hazard assessments are completed regularly.

Fire Safety 8t Prevention Program and Services
The Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) is committed to providing the community with fire and life safety
education. The ultimate goal is to reduce the loss of life and property with a range of programs and
services. These programs are designed to promote fire safety behavior for children, adults, and seniors. The
following are some of the programs that are administered free of charge to the citizens of Fayetteville by
the Fayetteville Fire Department and the Fayetteville Fire Marshal's Office (FMO).
Fire Station Tours
Tours include age -appropriate fire safety education, viewing the fire engines and firefighting equipment,
and talking to the firefighters. Firefighters dress in their turnout gear with SCBA and demonstrate how they
enter a home for a rescue or to fight a fire. Tours are geared to the audience age group. All stations except
the airport rescue station are open to the public to schedule a tour between the hours of 08:00 and 17:00.
Educational and promotional materials are provided.
Preschool Program: On -Site Visit and Fire Safety Lessons
Firefighters visit preschool facilities by appointment to start fire safety lessons early in their development.
Children tour a fire apparatus, are encouraged to ask questions, and view a firefighter dressed in their
turnout gear with SCBA to familiarize them with what a firefighter looks like and sounds like fully dressed
out. Age -appropriate fire safety lessons are given, such as what to do when a smoke detector goes off. Fire
safety messages like "stop, drop Ft roll," "crawl low and go," and "call 911" are discussed. Educational and
promotional materials are provided to each student.
Fire Education Dogs
The Fire Marshal's Office (FMO) manages
the Fire Education Dog (FED) program. The
FED program is made up of department
members that own Dalmatian or Dalmatian
resembling dogs that have been trained to
teach children fire safety by demonstrating
"stop, drop, E. roll," "feel the door for
heat," "crawl low and go," among other
talents. FED owners are wholly responsible
for their dog and receive no compensation
from the department for food or other
necessities. FEDs must pass an obedience
course, be up to date on vaccinations, and
be approved by the Fire Chief. Fire
Education Dogs are considered working
members of the department. They are
issued badge numbers and uniforms.

Fayetteville Schools: Fire Safety Education
The Fire Marshal's Office (FMO) operates the
Fayetteville Public School District's Fire Marshal
Program and partners to provide fire safety education
throughout the school year to children, teachers, and
staff. During the month of October, when Fire
Prevention Week is celebrated, the Fayetteville Fire
Safety House makes a visit to every school that houses
grades kindergarten through third grade. Additionally,
Fire Marshals conduct two required Fire Safety
Inspections per school year at each school.
Fayetteville Schools: Fire Marshal Program
At the beginning of the school year, Principals of each school in the City of Fayetteville choose 5-10 students
to become School Fire Marshals. The chosen students attend School Fire Marshal Training at Fire Station 1.
The program includes meeting the Fire Chief and Chief Fire Marshal, an interactive presentation on the
importance and responsibilities of a School Fire Marshal, and simple fire safety tips to apply at home.
Fire Safety House
The Fire Safety House is a mock version of a private
home equipped with stove, microwave oven, fireplace,
heated door, smoke detectors, and theatrical smoke.
Fire safety prevention is discussed outside. Inside
simulates real -life fire conditions and theatrical smoke.
When smoke detectors sound, participants can practice
the correct way to evacuate a building: get low and go,
feel the door, and move to another exit if hot. Once I
outside, participants meet at a designated meeting
place. The Fire Safety House is for all participants, of all
ages, and is especially suited for children and families.
Participants experience the importance of having a fire escape plan and learn to practice it often
Safety House is used at schools and large community events.
Adult Fire Safety Education for Businesses, Civic Groups, Organizations
The Fire
Fire safety education presentations can be given to Fayetteville businesses, of any kind, with adult
audiences. This program, offered by the Fire Marshal's Office (FMO), is designed to provide information for
on-the-job fire safety practices. Topics include evacuation procedures, electrical safety, maintaining exits
and stairway clearances, home fire safety, and fire extinguisher training. The presentation is free to any
interested business or civic group.
Fire Extinguisher Training
The Fire Marshal's Office (FMO) offers a hands-on training program using the "FiAR Fire Extinguisher
Augmented Reality Training System." This unique system allows participants to learn the proper use of a fire
extinguisher using a 10-pound portable fire extinguisher with iPad attachment. The environmentally clean
training can take place indoors during any time of the year at no cost to business owners or organizations.

The FFD training program meets the growing needs of the department. The FFD Training Division
seeks input from members of the department for training ideas to support their changing needs.
The FFD is training our personnel to meet the growing demands of our community following the
department's vision statement "ensure our firefighters are trained in the latest firefighting
techniques." The FFD Training Division provides quarterly company training that encompasses
training and familiarization with new equipment or scenarios that may be faced by the
department. A good example of this is the FFD recently issued personal escape device kits to all
line personnel that wanted one. Prior to issuing the device to an individual, the individual had to
review video instruction on the basics of the kit, receive in -person instruction on the kit, and then
progress in live training with the kit through practical application in a controlled environment.

VIII - All -Hazard Risk Assessment of the Community
Community Risk Assessment and Risk Levels
Risk Assessment Methodology, Classification, and Categories
While developing the Community Risk Assessment Standards of Cover (CRASOC), the FFD divided all calls for
the previous three years into five categories: Fire Suppression, EMS, Technical Rescue, Hazmat, and ARFF.
The calls under these categories were then broken into low, moderate, high, and maximum risk categories.
The department's Critical Tasking Tables are displayed in Appendix B. The tables define scene assignments
and the minimum number of firefighters required to achieve the department's Effective Response Force for
every call for service.
NFIRS call types were assigned to these levels through a process involving the critical task analysis
conducted by the department's Chief Officer group along with the three -axis risk model. The three -axis
model assigns a risk score to incident types based on incident probability, consequences to the community,
and impact on department resources. Once these risk scores were established, CAD dispatch assignments
were adjusted accordingly to align deployments with the assigned level of risk.
The three -axis methodology is applied by assigning a score for the three risk dimensions. When the risk
dimension scores are inserted into Heron's Formula Modified for Tetrahedrons, a risk calculation is
quantified and represented visually in the surface area of the triangle. This standardized approach allows
the department to identify the severity of risk, by risk category, in each risk class through the stratification
of risk scores.
Geographical Planning Area Ft Zones
General statistical data such as call volume, response times, Emergency Response Force (ERF) total response
times are broken down by fire station response areas numbered 1-9 corresponding to each station, and a
special response area for Interstate 49.
To further break down data, the department has created 212 "Fire Planning Zones" utilizing the US National
Grid System 1,000-meter squares for a more granular analysis of the city. Data from these squares is used to
determine the need for additional resources and facilities, identify service gaps, and predict the service
impact of growth and development. All data from fire station response areas and the fire planning zones is
analyzed by the planning division and displayed in a quarterly report. This report is presented to Fire
Administration during a weekly staff meeting, then distributed to all department personnel via shift
commander's station visits, sent to all personnel via email, and stored on a shared network drive that all
department uniformed, and civilian personnel have access to.
The department analyses population density in all planning zones throughout the city. While some areas
have lower population density, the department does not differentiate between rural and urban when
developing response time standards. Instead, the department incorporates response time standards into the
location of fire companies and fire stations throughout the city. Fire Planning Zones where the department
falls short of set standards become focal points for additional fire companies or stations.
36 Table of Contents
Methodology (Probability/Consequence/Impact of Event Risk)
The Three -Axis Model
The three -axis methodology
functions by assigning a score to
each response in three risk areas:
probability, community
consequence, and agency impact.
Within the model, a score in each
risk area is represented as a
point on the axis. These axes are
rated on a scale of 2 to 10 using
even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, 10),
where 2 signifies low risk and 10
denotes a maximum -risk score.
Scores for the risk areas are
plugged into Heron's Formula
Modified for Tetrahedrons to
calculate a risk score. Heron's
formula computes the area of a

tetrahedron, which is then
represented as a risk score. The Example 6: Heron's Formula
level of risk scores in each Heron's Formula modified for tetrahedrons:
classification determines a risk
category based on the degree z z
(low, moderate, high, or Risk Score =JL2z + (c2' + ��2'
maximum). This risk category
helps delineate the relationship P = Probability (Y axis)
between community C = Consequence to the community (X axis)
requirements and the I = Impact on the agency in drawdown vulnerability (Z axis)
commitment or resources. The
risk -based response offers a logical and rational strategy for company deployment. The magnitude of the
risk is determined by the greater the total area of mass, the greater the risk category level. For example, a
tetrahedron with a greater mass will translate to a higher category of risk level than a tetrahedron with a
smaller mass.
Y Axis - Probability
The department calculated probability by determining the average annual incidents for each response over a
three-year period from 2021 through 2023. Based on historical call data, the more likely an incident type
will occur, the higher the risk score assigned to the incident type (2- low probability, 10-very high
probability).
X Axis - Community Consequences
Community consequence is the significance of the actual loss to the community. Factors to consider are
potential economic loss, property loss, historical importance, and life loss/injury. Community consequence
is scored on a scale of 2 to 10 (even numbers), with 2 indicating low community consequence and 10
indicating high community consequence.
37 Table of Contents
Z Axis - Agency Impact
Agency impact of an incident type is calculated by evaluating the number of agency resources utilized for
the emergency event based on the established critical tasks. Residual coverage effect refers to the reserve
capacity for area protection, deployment and/or coverage. Agency impact is scored on a scale of 2 to 10
(even numbers), with 2 indicating low agency impact and 10 indicating high agency impact.
The department strives to deliver consistent service levels throughout the city. After completing the risk
analysis, the Chiefs group, along with the Union President and Example 7: Impact Analysis Example for NFIRS Code 151
Emergency Manager, completed the critical task analysis for all
emergency risk levels. The risk levels include low, moderate, high, and
maximum for Fire, EMS, Technical Rescue, Hazmat, and ARFF. Once
the critical task analysis was completed, the needed changes in
deployment were identified, and plans were made for dispatch to
update the deployments.
The department monitors all aspects of service delivery every quarter.
These aspects include call handling time, turnout time, first unit travel
times, ERF travel time, and total response time. The times are
analyzed to the ninetieth percentile and are compared to goal times.
These results are published in the department quarterly reports, FFD
annual reports, and the annual program appraisals. Unit utilization is
also monitored for all companies quarterly. A unit reliability goal of
90 percent has been established as a baseline.

contains the full -page tables NFIRS Code Risk Scoring. The risk
classifications are Fire, EMS, Technical Rescue, Hazmat, and ARFF. The department maintains gap charts for
each classification to the 90th percentile following the methods outlined in SOG-502 Dataset Outlier. This
performance data is published quarterly, annually and in the program appraisals. Station Gap Charts are
provided starting on page 68.
While preparing each quarterly report, the planning division uses ArcGIS Pro to geocode incident data,
including response times. This data is joined to Fire Planning Zones, Station Response Areas, and Political
Wards. The data is made available through the use of GIS maps and spreadsheets.
The department monitors response times by both Station Response Areas and Fire Planning Zones. Data is
available for call handling, turnout, first unit, ERF, and total response times for all responses.
A critical task analysis was conducted and finalized in January 2024. Historical data divided each risk
category into low, moderate, high, and maximum levels. A deployment strategy was then completed for
each based on the needed personnel and apparatus that were identified.
The results of monitoring and publishing this data have resulted in a greater awareness of performance and
gaps throughout the department. Company officers have begun to take more ownership in this and have
worked with their crew members to get better. While the analysis has shown a downward trend in turnout
times, there is still much room for improvement in all areas.

Fire Suppression Service
The area included in the city limits of Fayetteville was assessed to evaluate the community's fire risks.
Three primary components were utilized as part of the evaluation, as described below.
Y Axis - Probability
Probability involves assessing the likelihood of an emergency occurring within a specified timeframe. The
calculation of probability is based on determining the average annual incidents over the three-year period
from 2021 to 2023. According to historical data, incidents with a higher likelihood of occurrence result in a
correspondingly higher risk score.

Monthly (12 - 51.9 events per year)
Weekly (52 - 364.5 events per year)
Daily (365 - 1000 events per year)
X Axis - Community Consequence
The impact of fire incidents on a community is determined by the potential economic and life losses or
injuries.
The risk of life loss or injury is higher in places of employment or sleeping areas/homes. Although there is a
risk of fire incidents at places of employment, people are generally alert and can avoid serious injuries.
Businesses, being subject to annual inspections and equipped with fire protection systems, are better
prepared. Residential areas, on the other hand, present a greater risk of life loss or injury due to the
presence of sleeping areas that may be challenging to escape. According to the United States Fire
Administration (USFA), residential buildings accounted for 96 percent of all civilian fire fatalities from 2016
to 2020. Additionally, during the same period, 82 percent of firefighter injuries related to fires reported to
NFIRS were associated with structure fires. Firefighter injuries occurred three times more frequently in
residential structures compared to nonresidential structures.

IX - Community Feedback
Community Priorities, Expectations, and Performance Goals
The department solicits feedback from its internal and external stakeholders and the AHJ on a regular basis
using social media, internal and external question -and -answer platforms, public education sessions, surveys,
and local government meetings. During the strategic process, surveys were selected as the most effective
way to gather the most beneficial information from the broadest group of stakeholders. In late 2023, an
internal SWOT survey was solicited from all employees of the department, resulting in valuable information
used to guide the creation of goals and objectives.
In early 2024, the department partnered with the City of Fayetteville Communications and Marketing
Department to assist with soliciting feedback from our external stakeholders. A survey was designed to
gather information better to understand the needs and expectations of the community as related to the fire
department. This survey was advertised throughout many social media platforms and websites. The results
from the citizen survey provided valuable information that was utilized during the strategic planning
process. Of the survey respondents 91% were city residents 87% of whom indicated their preferred method
of information delivery by the FFD was via social media channels. 82% of respondents were Satisfied or Very
Satisfied with FFD services. The 3 most important services provided by the department for respondents
were, in order:
- Fire Suppression
- Emergency Medical Services
- Rescue
Community input from both internal and external stakeholders was analyzed by the strategic planning group
in February 2024 and synthesized to produce an outline of 7 strategic initiatives for focused future
development as outlined in the Strategic Plan which will be reviewed annually. Community input will
continue being sought through expanding channels and formats of interaction. This will provide targeted
preference and needs data from our stakeholders which the FFD will use in ongoing refinement of the
Strategic Plan and relevant service goals.

X - Program Goals and Objectives
Program Appraisal!
The Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) adopted a formal program appraisal for all programs. From the
appraisal process goals and objective for each program were developed. The appraised programs include: Fire
Prevention, Public Education, Fire Investigation, Domestic Preparedness, Fire Suppression, Emergency Medical
Service, Technical Rescue, Hazmat, Aircraft Rescue Firefighting, Training, Communications, and Health Et
Safety (see Appendix F for each program appraisal). The appraisals include descriptions of the program,
financial, physical, human, and essential resources utilized in the previous calendar year. The appraisals also
list previous years' training and outcomes along with goals for the next calendar year.
The addition of the annual appraisal has provided an enhancement to the department's ability to share the
accomplishments of individual programs, as well as areas of needed improvement. Copies of the program
appraisals are provided to the Fayetteville City Council and Mayor. The City Council adopts a formal
resolution recognizing receipt of the annual program appraisals.

XI - Current Deployment and Performance
Service Level - Risk Categories, Benchmarks, 8t Gap Charts
The Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) strives to deliver consistent service levels throughout the city. After
completing a risk analysis, the Chiefs group, along with the Union President and Emergency Manager,
completed the critical task analysis and adopted it for all emergency risk levels. The following are the risk
categories set by the FFD. Corresponding Gap Charts for each level begin on page 68. These risk categories
involve deploying both human and physical resources, integrating time to achieve a high -quality result
linked to a specific risk level and type. A benchmark is established as a measure of excellence or a goal
against which evaluations can be made. Benchmarks are measured to the 90th percentile. Striving for these
benchmarks will define exceptional service delivered by the department. The department aims to achieve
these goals to deliver improved services to the community.

Target Hazards and Risk Categories
Structure type, required fire flow, building height, and critical infrastructure are utilized to determine
target hazards (Appendix E Map 5). Other factors are fire protection Et detection systems (Appendix E Map
21), transportation systems (Appendix E Map 6), and socioeconomic makeup (Appendix E Map 10) are all
known risks variables in the City of Fayetteville and each of these are mapped. The FFD recognizes the value
of incorporating fire protection systems into the system to be used during emergency response.
Unfortunately, limitations with the current FFD CAD software prevent address specific dispatches.
When calls are dispatched to known target hazards, it is the responsibility of the shift commander to
upgrade the alarm for the risk category. The FFD is actively exploring other software options to increase
resilience in the response plans and enhance resource deployment to emergency responses. The FFD expects
to purchase a new CAD platform before the end of Q4 2024 with an in-service deployment by Q2 2025.
Performance - Gap Charts
The Fayetteville Fire Department, using historical data and GIS modeling, reviews total response time
components for all emergency responses each quarter at a minimum. Benchmark times based on NFPA 1710
have been established for all response services.
While preparing each quarterly report, the planning division uses ArcGIS Pro to geocode incident data,
including response times. This data is joined to Fire Planning Zones, Station Response Areas, and Political
Wards. This data is made available through the use of GIS maps and spreadsheets.
In this subsection, gap charts and corresponding response statements are provided for each risk category for
the entire service area.

Interstate 49 Response Area
149 passes through Fayetteville from north to south on the western side of the city. It is a six -lane concrete barrier divided thoroughfare lacking
any access to move from the northbound lanes to the southbound lanes. There are six major on/off access points within the city limits. Due to
the limited access points and the dangers of emergency operations on interstate highways, the department has assigned a specific response area
to 149. Depending on location of the incident in relation to access points and direction of travel, 149 is serviced by different stations. Apparatus

Continuing Risk Et Service Analysis - Continuous Improvement
The Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) maintains historical response data back to 1998. Performance data
for the previous five years are incorporated into analysis. In 2017 call and performance data was utilized to
determine the need for additional stations. In addition to this, beginning in 2021, a report showing response
time performance of all companies and shifts was published and sent out to all personnel each quarter. This
was done to create a greater awareness of performance gaps at the company level. Stations 8 and 9 were
completed and in operation in 2023. These stations have turnout timer displays in the apparatus bays to
help all personnel be aware of their turnout time performance while preparing to respond. All existing
stations will be retrofitted to include these screens in the near future. Additionally, each station has a
display monitor in the living area where pertinent information can be displayed to include performance
data.
Over the next five years the FFD plans to improve its risk assessment model by adding the factors above into
the CAD software so the appropriate units will be dispatched from the start. The FFD will continue to
analyze the performance data and respond to the changes.
93 Table of Contents
XII - Evaluation of Current Deployment Performance
Historical Perspective, Summary of System Performance, Et Evaluation of Service
Delivery
In the previous sections total response times were evaluated. In this section a deeper analysis is completed
of the components of the total response time. In addition to response time another component is
considered, resilience.
In the following sections, the department's logic for distribution, concentration, and resilience are
explained. These key metrics help gauge how well the Fayetteville Fire Department can mitigate and reduce
risks and dangers, guiding improvements in the process.
Distribution examines the placement of the department's stations and equipment. Concentration looks at
the department's ability to gather the necessary tools and personnel to mitigate risks and hazards
effectively in a timely manner. Resilience is the department's ability to handle normal and abnormal
demand on the system and recover from the demand. The FFD conducts a Service Gap Analysis that provides
evidence of improvement or demonstration of deficiencies that need to be addressed. Through in-depth
analysis of its performance, the department has set strategic goals and plans aimed at providing faster,
more comprehensive, and reliable services to the community.
Service Gap Analysis
The Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) updates the service gap analysis quarterly and annually to identify
performance gaps. The FFD Planning Division updates gap charts for all risk categories and levels in the
quarterly report. The charts are shared with all personnel and evaluated by the Fire Administration.
Beginning in 2024, an annual program appraisal, highlighting performance gaps for the previous year was
published and provided to the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). In subsequent the annual appraisal will be
published in January.
The service gap analysis divides the total response times further to better analysis where the gaps occur.
The total response time consists of: Alarm handling, turnout time, first arriving unit travel time and
effective response force (ERF) travel time. Service Gap Analysis charts can be located starting on page 68.
Alarm Handeling Time.
Alarm handling is the amount of time it takes the dispatch center to dispatch the call. This provides a
performance indicator for our dispatch center. This information is utilized to determine adequate staffing
levels for our dispatch center.
Turnout Time
Turnout time is the amount of time it takes the fire company to leave the station. This information is
utilized to analyze the fire company and station design. The newly adopted station design considered the
living area location in consideration to turnout time. This is the one area that the fire company has control
of. An analysis provides clear gaps between fire companies assigned to the same station.
First Arriving Unit Turnout Time
First arriving unit travel time is the time elapsed during travel from the unit's initial location to the incident
location. This information is utilized to analyze the distribution of the fire stations.
94 Table of Contents
Effective Response Force (ERF) Travel Time
ERF travel time is of each risk type and level are analyzed for the station response area and city-wide. The
city-wide gap charts are provided starting on page 68. This information is utilized to analyze the
concentration of fire stations and unit types assigned to the stations.
Distribution
The Fayetteville Fire Department is comprised of nine fully staffed stations serving nine "Station Response
Areas" that are further divided into "Fire Planning Zones." Using historical data and GIS modeling, the
department reviews total response time components for all responses each quarter. While preparing each
quarterly report, the Planning Division utilizes ArcGIS Pro to geocode incident data, including response
times. This data is joined to Fire Planning Zones, Station Response Areas, and Political Wards. The data is
made available through the use of GIS maps and spreadsheets.
Beginning in 2017, the department adopted proximity dispatch technology to improve how it identifies and
dispatches resources. Proximity dispatch is based on the closest unit that can provide the capabilities
required for the call type. The introduction of proximity dispatch has significantly helped in ensuring that
the nearest available resources are sent to incidents, optimizing outcomes for the community. This
technology has played a crucial role in keeping travel times consistent despite a growing demand for
services, demonstrating the department's commitment to leveraging innovative solutions to enhance its
response efficiency and effectiveness.
Concentratior
The deployment of resources is designed to ensure that an "Effective Response Force" (ERF) can reach an
incident within the target time frames, as per the expected on -scene performance standards. The idea
behind concentration is to position these resources closely enough to each other so that the ERF can be
quickly put together on -scene, aiming to meet the overall response time goals. The ERF is determined for
each incident type based on critical tasking to mitigate the incident and stop loss.
An effective ERF can often prevent an emergency from intensifying, even in areas facing the highest risks.
However, it's important to note that the ERF might not represent the full scale of personnel or units needed
should the situation reach its highest potential threat. In such cases, additional support can be mobilized
through automatic and mutual aid agreements to help in managing the incident or to provide extra
coverage.
The primary goal of an ERF is to quickly halt the progression of an incident, whether it's a fire, Hazmat
response, Technical Rescue, or any other emergency. The effectiveness of service delivery, particularly in
terms of resource concentration, is evaluated based on the level of risk associated with different categories
or types of incidents. In areas identified as high -risk, the strategy involves having second and third -due units
arrive on the scene more rapidly than what would be expected in areas with normal or low risk. This
approach ensures that the department's response is agile and robust, capable of addressing a wide array of
hazards with a consistent methodology.
The ERF four -minute response time to arrive on scene at Drake Field and other calls for service in the
southern portion of Fayetteville factored heavily into the location of Station 9 and redesignation of Engine 6
to Engine 9 as well. While units from Station 1 and Station 3 had average reliability scores above 90%,
predicted call volume increases in both response areas as well as increased airport responses dictated that a
new station and relocation of an engine company could preemptively correct growing reliability issues.
95 Table of Contents
Resilience
The Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) considers four factors when determining resilience: Unit reliability,
resistance, absorption, and restoration. Through redundancy in internal staffing, and a strong partnership
with mutual aid partners, the FFD is a very resilient organization.
Resistance
The City of Fayetteville is divided into 95 fire quadrants. The fire quadrants are combined to create the
station response areas. There are 10 response plans for each quadrant. The response plans ensure the
closest unit with the correct capabilities is dispatched to the incident. This process provides a sound
methodology to match the given need with resources to mitigate the need. The exact number of units
required are dispatched. There are areas where assess is an issue, i.e., Interstate 49, and more units than
required are dispatched. The FFD has a training guideline, SOG-303 On -Duty Training, limiting the number
of units on delayed response for training to three units. In special circumstances, more than three units are
allowed if the training can be centrally located. In cases where more than three units are required, staffing
is backfilled to cover the training.
Absorption
There is a level of redundancy built into the Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) deployment model. Two
battalions are staffed providing the ability to provide incident command and scene safety for two structure
fires at one time. Four ladder trucks and a rescue truck are staffed. This affords the FFD the ability to
provide rescue for multiple incidents at once. Additionally, through auto -aid agreements FFD has a capacity
we beyond normal daily staffing. During times when FFD units are depleted. Dispatch will notify the chiefs
via text and request a unit from a mutual aid partner to stand by. The FFD also participates in a regional
mutual aid program with departments across the region. The program is sponsored by the Northwest
Arkansas Metro Fire Chiefs. The chief alternate monitoring the regional radio system. When a department
has a large event, outside normal daily operations. The on -call chief will notify the other chiefs and dispatch
the appropriate units required to assist.
Restoration
The Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) does not have an official restoration policy. However, company
officers are expected to cancel their unit's response on calls where they are not needed. Incident
commanders return units to service as quickly as possible as the need decreases on emergency scene. First
arriving company officers are quick to cancel other incoming units when they assess the needs to mitigate
the incident.
Unit Reliability
Unit Reliability is the factor of the Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) staffing model that is the most
important as it is the factor that considers the human providing the service. Reliability is two pronged. The
first prong is simple in theory, there are a certain number of hours in a day and our personnel are expected
to complete a certain number of tasks each shift. The second prong is more complex as it requires
consideration of the number of tasks that can be completed by a fire company and still provide the same
level of service at the end of their tour as at the beginning, or company reliability. That is how unit
reliability considers the "human." It is not sustainable to continually dump tasks on fire companies without
considering how it impacts the human delivering the service. When firefighters become fatigued, their level
of service declines. If this level of work continues, the fatigue will negatively impact the firefighters, both
on and off duty. The greatest fiscal responsibility of FFD leaders is to protect their human capital.
96 Table of Contents
The simplest definition of unit reliability is: The time a fire company has to devote to emergency calls after
they have completed all other assigned tasks and met their personal basic human needs. It is important to
remember this is a theoretical number. FFD fire companies will prioritize emergency calls and compromise
the assigned tasks and their human needs to ensure the emergency calls are handled. FFD current unit
reliability goal is ninety percent (90%) meaning they are dedicated to calls for service a maximum of ten
percent (10%) of the time. FFD Labor Management Team (LMT) Staffing Committee is working to refine the
exact percent for unit reliability. As noted in the strategic plan, there are additional tasks that will be
added to our companies. It is fully expected that the LMT Staffing Committee will be providing a
recommendation to change the unit reliability goal. Units are often engaged in a variety of activities
throughout the day, not just responding to emergency calls.
• Public Education / Fire Prevention
• Physical Fitness
• Training administered by the training department
• Company level training
• Officer training
• Driver training
• Firefighter training
• Returning the equipment to service after calls
• Incident reporting
• Meal purchase, preparation, and consumption
• Sleep and rest.
• Apparatus maintenance
• Administrative duties
The planning division tracks reliability and reports every quarter, an annual report is submitted to the fire
chief and city administration in January of each year for the previous year. Below are graphs for the years
2022 and 2023. The department unit with the worst reliability rating in 2022 was Engine 2 with best average
rate of 91.8% and worst of 88.4%, or an average of 7 hours of unreliability per day. When evaluating
locations for new stations and companies this factor was a chief reason for the location of Station 8 as well
as reducing the four -minute drive times for Engine 2 and Ladder 7.
The first full calendar year to pull data from after Engine 8 being placed in service is 2023. Looking at the
reliability numbers for Engine 2 it can be easily seen that the placement of the new station and company
solved the issue as Engine 2 had a best rate of 94.2% and worst of 91.9%, or an average of zero hours of
unreliability per day for 2023.
Reading further into the data from 2022 and 2023 a trend is beginning to show for Ladder 4. The department
is evaluating the placement of new stations or an additional company at Station 4 to correct the upward
trend in unreliability, along with additional companies at other stations to further increase reliability
department wide.

XIII - Plan for Maintaining and Improving Response
Capabilities
Performance Maintenance and Improvement Plan
The Fayetteville Fire Department's (FFD) Strategic Planning Process for the 2024-2029 period is a
comprehensive effort that integrates the department's core mission, vision, and values into actionable and
measurable goals. The strategic plan, which was meticulously developed and published, outlines seven
primary goals supported by twenty-two SMART objectives, ensuring a clear direction for the department's
future endeavors. This strategic blueprint aligns with the department's foundational principles. It seeks to
harmonize with the broader community's master plans, ensuring that departmental initiatives align with the
City of Fayetteville's overarching development goals. The FFD's published strategic plan is approved by the
LMT and then submitted to the Fayetteville City Council for approval under the same process as an
Administrative Policy. This policy is outlined in the Administrative Policy titled General Information and
Introduction.
This alignment has historically facilitated successful coordination with city plans, such as establishing new
fire stations and demonstrating a proactive and collaborative approach to community service and
improvement. Through this strategic planning process, the department reaffirms its commitment to serving
the community effectively, guided by a well-defined path toward continuous improvement and operational
excellence.
Improvement Through Collaboration
The FFD utilizes internal input on all aspects of its operations. This is accomplished using the Labor
Management Team (LMT). The LMT is co-chaired by the Fire Chief and IAFF president. The LMT meets
monthly to work through decision -making and guidance of the department, including all policy and
procedure changes, including the Strategic Plan. These meetings are open for all personnel to attend, and
the minutes are kept on an internal shared computer drive. There are several standing committees that
work through goals and objectives. The assigned committee chairs report progress during these monthly
meetings. In addition to this, there will be an annual review of the strategic plan to determine if any
adjustments need to be made.
Compliance Verification Reporting,
The FFD's planning division releases reports quarterly and annually that provide detailed statistics including
performance, outcomes, and service gaps. The service gaps have been utilized to determine locations for
new fire stations and the redistribution of companies. A goal for improvement of service gaps was outlined
in goal 2 of the 2024-2029 Strategic plan. The goal calls for the completion of the following tasks over a 12-
24-month period:
• Completion of a turnout time analysis for each fire station to ensure our benchmarks are achievable
• Analysis of all other response time variables to determine if benchmarks are achievable
• Suggested modifications to benchmarks.
• Short term plan to improve response times.
• Continual monitoring for both positive and negative trends.
The planning division reports are sent to all members via email and are available to view on a shared
computer drive accessible to the entire department. In addition to these reports, beginning in 2024, formal
program appraisals were initiated annually for the prior year.
100 Table of Contents
Annual Program Appraisal
The Fire Chief provides incident analysis report to the mayor on a weekly basis. Beginning in January 2024,
formal annual appraisals, which include service gaps, were created. The Fire Chief has presented the annual
appraisals to the mayor and several of the council members. A resolution acknowledging the annual
appraisal is on the agenda for the April 16th, 2024, City Council meeting. Mitigation efforts for these gaps are
identified in the strategic plan. Updates related to the progress of the strategic plan will be provided to the
AHJ annually.
External Stakeholder Input
The Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) seeks input from external stakeholders. In January 2024, the city
marketing department sent out an external stakeholder survey on behalf of the department. This survey
allowed external stakeholders to rate current services and rank the services in order of importance. While
this survey provided valuable information, it was a convenience sampling of the city's population. The
feedback would be more meaningful if the FFD ensures there is good sampling of the city. During the 2026
strategic planning cycle the FFD plans to utilize stakeholders from various groups in the city to include:
Chamber of Commerce leadership, City and County elected officials, University of Arkansas leadership,
Salvation Army and Seven Hills leadership, Washington Regional Medical Center Leadership, and other
citizen groups.

Appendix D: Baseline to Benchmark Tables
Fire Suppression Services Program
The Fayetteville Fire Department (FFD) provides a broad range of responses to structure fires, emergency
medical service, technical rescue, hazmat, and ARFF calls. Following are the baseline tables for Fire
Suppression calls that reflect the actual performance for the three-year period from January 1, 2021, to
December 31, 2023. The benchmark time is a goal that the department is striving to reach.
The FFD has not responded to incidents that would be classified in the Maximum Risk category for Fire
Suppression between the years of 2021 - 2023. There is not data to compile for a table.
