Also Known As:
NFPA 1710-2020 is a standard that provides requirements for career fire departments in the organization and deployment of fire suppression operations, emergency medical operations, and special operations to the public. The standard aims to improve the safety of both citizens and fire personnel by defining levels of service, staffing, deployment capabilities, and other critical requirements.
The 2020 edition of NFPA 1710 has been significantly revised to incorporate the latest information and practices. It includes updated definitions, such as clarification on whether a department falls under NFPA 1710 or NFPA 1720 (for volunteer fire departments). Additionally, new definitions relating to geographic areas based on population density have been added.
The standard also addresses the number of responders needed based on the type of incident and tasks to be accomplished. It introduces requirements for mobile water supply tankers/tenders and emphasizes the deployment and training of incident safety officers. Furthermore, there is expanded material on wildland fire suppression.
NFPA 1710-2020 is a crucial resource for fire chiefs and elected officials to enhance public safety in various buildings and for diverse occupants. It covers aspects of total response time, from alarm processing to turnout time and overall response.
