What Data Should You Look at Beyond NFPA Standards?
What data insights are you missing that can help give you a bigger picture of your fire department? Watch this on-demand webinar in partnership with International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC).
You’re likely not a stranger to NFPA 1710, but is that the only metric you should be using to measure your department’s performance? What are other helpful measurements that can provide deeper insight? During this webinar, we’ll discuss the other data assessments that will help give you a better picture. Recognizing data insights, such as preparedness compared to potential and historical events in your community, can give you the information you’re looking for.
Presented by Ret. Chief Bill Gardner (ESO), some of the key takeaways you’ll gain from this webinar include:
- Being able to tell your department’s story beyond just the number of calls.
- Graph a story that is yours, and that also demonstrates highlights and gaps.
- Tell your story with articulation and clarity in under two minutes.
