Field Deployment Strategy
• Deployment is about the speed and weight of the attack
• Speed is delivered with neighborhood based units
• Weight is the massing of multiple units quickly enough to provide enough firefighters to stop the escalation of the emergency

Multiple-Unit Response
• Multiple units are needed to deliver enough firefighters in a reasonable time to serious emergencies to simultaneously and effectively perform the tasks needed for the outcome
• 15 firefighters minimum are needed within an 11-minute total response time for positive urban outcome expectations
• This is known as concentration of companies

GIS Finding
Finding #6: If the City wants to maintain 4-minute travel time coverage for the first-due fire unit to all neighborhoods, eight (8) fire station locations are necessary.
![Page 22: Fire Department Station Location Study Presented on March 26, 2012 City of Pasadena Calvin E. Wells, Fire Chief Kevin Costa, Deputy Fire Chief Citygate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e2e5503460f94b1e80c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Recommendation #1 – Deployment Measures
Distribution of Fire Stations: To treat medical patients and control small fires, the first-due unit should arrive within 7 minutes, 90% of the time from the receipt of the 9-1-1 call in the Verdugo regional fire dispatch center.
This equates to 1 minute dispatch time, 2 minutes company turnout time and 4 minutes drive time in the most populated areas.

Citygate Associates – Fire Services23
Multiple Unit Deployment Measure
Multiple-Unit Effective Response Force for Serious Emergencies: To confine fires near the room of origin, to stop wildland fires to under three acres when noticed promptly and to treat up to five medical patients at once, a multiple-unit response of at least 15 personnel should arrive within 11 minutes from the time of 9-1-1 call receipt in fire dispatch, 90% of the time.
This equates to 1 minute dispatch time, 2 minutes company turnout time, and 8 minutes drive time spacing for multiple units.
