Based on a recent evaluation of increased call loads within the Henrico County Division of Fire, this presentation will discuss various methodologies for analyzing and identifying benchmark commitment factors for response units. The majority of this class will be based upon the research and findings of the instructor and his May 2016 Fire Engineering magazine article. With no national standard or hint of common analysis methods in the country, this program will cover the following objectives: identify and easily digest simple methods for data analysis related to unit incident commitment;  understand how commitment benchmarks can identify over and under resourcing in your agency; gain confidence in analyzing your agency's commitment levels while being able to articulate findings in a simple and understandable format; and  identify simple methods for relaying illustrated data to your agency's policy makers.
