Goal IV: Setting Service Standard Goals for Volunteer Fire Departments Objective A:To ensure all Orange County residents can receive the maximum fire protection and homeowners' insurance savings available by improving individual departments' ISO ratings14 in the following manner: Figure 3:Timeline for ISO Applications ISO Rating of 8 July 2013 ISO Rating of 6 July 2016 Background: Numerous members have already lowered their ISO ratings, and the OCCA has provided a collaborative forum in which fire chiefs share strategies and concerns in their pursuit of this goal. For the first time ever, OCCA members have agreed that all volunteer fire departments will work towards achieving an ISO rating of 6 for residences within a five mile district of fire stations. The OCCA has undertaken this goal by itself, mindful of the significant challenges it will pose to some departments in terms of upgrading water hauling capabilities, equipment, and personnel training. By working together in a collaborative fashion with Orange County planners and educating citizens about the benefits of lower insurance ratings, the OCCA looks to accomplish this major initiative.The Orange County Chief's Association also acknowledges the link of ISO ratings to commercial development, and the critical role that water supply plays in those calculations. As Orange County looks to foster sustainable growth, the OCCA recognizes the potential for shared solutions. Objective B:To ensure that all fire and rescue departments in Orange County have sought to adequately implement nationally recognized consensus standards. Background:The NFPA has established national consensus standards of best practices for emergency responders with training and operational guidelines that exceed ISO's standards. NFPA 171015 and NFPA 172016 specify best practices for career and volunteer fire departments, respectively. NFPA 167017 establishes standards for technical rescue disciplines of the sort provided by South Orange Rescue Squad. OCCA members will research, discuss, and consider the full implications of attaining these standards.The OCCA encourages all its member 14"ISO's expert staff collects information about municipal fire protection efforts in communities throughout the United States.In each of those communities,ISO analyzes the relevant data and assigns a Public Protection Classification(PPCTM)—a number from 1 to 10."A grade of 6 represents the maximum insurance savings that can be achieved by a fire department for residential properties.(http://www.iso.com/faq/ISO- FAQ/The-Public-Protection-Classification-PPC-Program.html) NFPA 1710:Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations,Emergency Medical Operations,and Special Operations to the Public by Career Fire Departments,2010 Edition 6 NFPA 1720:Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations,Emergency Medical Operations,and Special Operations to the Public by Volunteer Fire Departments,2010 Edition 17 NFPA 1670:Standard on Operations and Training for Technical Search and Rescue Incidents,2009 Edition 10
