This class will identify the effective methodology to differentiate response recommendations between one structure and another. These decisions should be more than just gut feelings. Right-sizing your response requires more than just identifying the property use-group. Hinging on your local government’s available data, agency can easily provide responses based on a variety of unique features. The objectives of this class are to understand and be able to explain the fire hazard classification methodology used by the Henrico County Division of Fire; understand how to effectively implement a fire hazard classification for every address within your response area; and understand how to implement a similar process in your agency in order to right-size your emergency response patterns.
