National Fire Protection Association Standards


What standards does SAFER involve?
The industry minimum standards to be addressed by SAFER include National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards NFPA 1710, Section 5.2.4.2 (Initial Full Alarm Assignment Capability), which primarily applies to all-career fire departments and at the combination department's election, and NFPA 1720 Section 4.3 (Staffing and Deployment), which primarily applies to all-volunteer fire departments and combination departments that do not elect to comply with NFPA 1710. Go to www.nfpa.org/SAFERActGrant and look for the special link for the SAFER Grant to receive information specific to the grant.
