Fire Department The ISO review of the Fire Department accounts for 50% of the overall score and evaluates numerous different aspects, including: engine companies, reserve pumpers, pump capacity, ladder/service companies, reserve ladder/service trucks, deployment analysis, company personnel, training, and operational considerations. The 2012 version of the FSRS has placed more emphasis on proper placement and deployment of resources and less on the number of apparatus and the equipment carried (Colletti, 2014). In addition, the apparatus equipment lists now mirror those requirements of NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus. Under the old FSRS, an engine that was designed and outfitted to be fully compliant with NFPA 1901 would only score 37% when evaluated by ISOs standards (Stevens, 2000). This change to the FSRS should make it easier for fire departments to receive full credit for their apparatus.
