PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The existing Fire House No. 3 is a two-story, 5,582 SF station and was originally designed in 1961 to provide operational space and living quarters for three personnel. The facility was seismically retrofitted in the 1990’s.

The fire st
ation currently houses 6 personnel per shift and the units include Engine 3(3), Medic 3 (2) and Medic Trainee (1). The staffing is anticipated to increase to 7 personnel per shift.

Because this station is not anticipated to add a new unit, only a new staff member, it is a strong candidate for renovation and addition. The recommended solution includes:

1. Renovation of the entire station and expand the first level to provide a private station office and d e d i c a t e d t u r n o u t s t o r a g e a n d e x p a n d t h e s e c o n d l e v e l t o a d d d e d i c a t e d fi t n e s s r o o m . T h e e x p a n d e d area is 611 SF for a total expanded and renovated area of 6,193 SF.

The ROM Project Budget for the Recommended Option is $12-16M; not including escalation beyond 2024.

BERKELEY FIRE DEPARTMENT MASTER PLAN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The existing Fire House No. 4 is 5,341 SF and was originally designed to provide operational space and living quarters for two people in 1960. The facility was seismically retrofitted and expanded to the size noted above in 1998. The fire st
ation currently houses 3 personnel per shift on Engine 4 (3). And, per the Standards of Coverage Study prepared by Citigate, the Firehouse 4 location is recommended to add a future ambulance and Medic Intern. The staffing will increase to 7 personnel per shift.

Two options were evaluated. They include:

1. Renovation and expansion of 1,600 SF for a total SF of 6,941. The expansion will add the turnout storage space and a fitness room. The site does not have enough space to expand the apparatus bay for the added ambulance nor to expand the living quarters for additional staffing. Parking and privacy goals can not be met through the expansion.

2. Replace station on the existing expanded site. This option requires the expansion of the site and adds subterranean parking. A replacement 12,802 SF station plus a 6,000SF basement for parking would allow the addition of the future ambulance in this ambulance. (Recommended) The ROM Project Budget for the Recommended Option 2 is $36-41M; not including escalation beyond 2024.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Fire House No. 5 was expanded to 9, 369 SF when it was seismically upgraded in 2012. In this expansion the living quarters were modified to provide space for 9 on-duty personnel per shift. The fire station currently houses 9 personnel per shift and Truck 5 (3), Engine 5 (3), Medic 5 (2), and Medic Intern (1). The staffing is planned to increase t
o 11 personnel per shift. The firehouse also houses a Type VI wildland unit, a reserve engine and a utility truck. Several of the units can not be housed in the apparatus bays.

Three options were evaluated. They include:

1. Renovation and expansion of the existing station on the second level to provide 16, 983 SF of space. Parking requirements are not met with this solution.

2. Replace station on existing site without additional parking. Parking requirements are not met.

3. Replace station on existing site with 2 story, 16,983 SF station plus basement parking. Parking requirements are met with this solution.

The recommended option for this location is Option 3. All program criteria are met.

The ROM Project Budget for the Recommended Option 3 is $53-58M not including escalation beyond 2024.

BERKELEY FIRE DEPARTMENT MASTER PLAN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The existing Fire House No. 6 is a one story, 4,596 SF station and was originally designed to provide operational space and living quarters for two personnel in the 1960’s. The facility was seismically retrofitted and expanded in the 1990’s. The fire s
tation currently houses 3 personnel per shift with a single unit, Engine 6 (3). The staffing is anticipated to increase to 4 personnel per shift.

Because this station is not anticipated to add a new unit, only a new staff member, it was a strong candidate for renovation and addition The recommended solution includes:

1. Renovate the entire station and expand to 6,312 SF to provide a private station office, dedicated sleeping rooms, turnout storage and a dedicated fitness room.

The ROM Project Budget for the Recommended Option is $12-16M; not including escalation beyond 2024.

BERKELEY FIRE DEPARTMENT MASTER PLAN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The existing Fire House No. 7 is a two story, 6,920 SF station and was designed to provide operational space and living quarters for four personnel in 2005. The fire station currently houses 6 personnel per shift during wildfire season. Apparatus a
t the site include Engine 7(3) and surge unit Type VI with surge staffing. The staffing is anticipated to increase to 8 personnel per shift.

Because this station is not anticipated to add a new unit, only a new staff members, it is a strong candidate for renovation and addition The recommended solution includes:

1. Renovate a portion of the first level to provide dedicated turnout storage and decontamination space. Expand the second level to provide additional sleeping rooms and restrooms; and a d e d i c a t e d fi t n e s s r o o m . T h e e x p a n s i o n a r e a i s p r o p o s e d t o b e 1 , 0 8 0 S F a n d w i l l o c c u r o v e r t h e e x i s ti n g second level roof deck. The total building SF will increase to 8,000SF.

The ROM Project Budget for the Recommended Option is $10-13M; not including escalation beyond 2024.

BERKELEY FIRE DEPARTMENT MASTER PLAN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The current BFD Headquarters is located within the Public Safety Building in downtown Berkeley. There is not adequate space at this location for all of the current staff nor the proposed additional staff, WUI division, training classrooms, or the proposed ambulance deployment center.

The recomenda
tion is to relocate the headquarters to a city owned building which is large enough to accommodate the administrative offices, training classrooms, and the ambulance deployment center.

The ROM Project Budget for the Recommended Option is $33-36 not including escalation beyond 2024.

DRAFT

BERKELEY FIRE DEPARTMENT MASTER PLAN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The existing training center is colocated with Fire House No. 6 and was built in 1990. Because of its location in a residential neighborhood there are many limitations to the trainings which can be held there and the time in which the trainings can t
ake place. It is also undersized for he current needs of the Berkeley Fire Department.

The region (inclusive of the cities of Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Kensington, Richmond, Contra Costa County, and UC Berkeley) is devoid of adequate training space for emergency responders. The closest adequately sized facilities are in Concord and Hayward – far too great a distance to send on-duty staff to train.

The recomendation is to partner with other local municpalities to build a large technical rescue training and education center for this region’s first responders.

The ROM Project Budget for the Recommended Option is $81-90 not including escalation beyond 2024. Note that this cost would be shared with the other participating municipalities.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Re: Final report, recommendations from the Standards of Coverage and Community Risk Assessment Study
On July 27, 2021 the City Council authorized (Res
olution No. 69,973-N.S.) the
Department to enter into a contract with Citygate to conduct the City’s first Standards of Cover (SOC) Study and Community Risk Assessment. That work concluded in December, 2023. The SOC is the national standard used to define appropriate levels of service and is based on a comprehensive analysis of historical performance; expectations; and existing and projected community risk factors, hazards, population growth and aging, topography, and the density and vertical growth of the build environment. Deployment strategies are then proposed as indicated by the analysis.

The SOC will assist the City in determining whether the current levels of service are appropriate for the risks to be protected and with Council and community expectations.

Following are all recommendations presented in the SOC. The blue highlighted text is the current status of each recommendation from the Department.

Recommendation #1: Proceed with the planned conversion to staffing the four current ambulances with non-firefighter paramedics and EMTs. The City has established two new classifications, EMT and
Paramedic. There have been two groups of Paramedics hired and they are operational on Department ambulances. The
Department has had to pause recruitment of EMTs until a Headquarters/EMS Deployment center can be leased or
purchased as there is no room to deploy additional ambulances in any existing facility.

January 24, 2024
Re: Final report, recommendations from the Standards of Coverage and Community Risk Assessment Study

Recommendation #2: The Department needs to add two additional ambulances, requiring 16 additional non-firefighter Paramedics and/or EMT FTE personnel. The Department is seeking a
Headquarters/EMS Deployment Center in order to deploy these new units.

Recommendation #3: The City needs to upgrade its dispatch staffing, training, and software to allow for clinical call triage to send Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulances or alternative care units to low- acuity EMS requests, as outlined in the City’s separate Dispatch Needs Analysis. A consultant, Federal Engineering, completed a Dispatch Needs Assessment, it was presented to the Public Safety Policy Committee on May 15, 2023. Due to the substantial recommendations in the report the Department pursued a second opinion, from Mission Critical Partners, which will be completed in early 2024. The Federal Engineering report indicated the dispatch center will require an investment to increase and modernize the facility, equipment, add more staff, new technology, and train employees. If these enhancements cannot be made, the City will need to explore alternate options to provide modern fire and EMS dispatch services that will allow triaged response based on the type and severity of the emergency.

Recommendation #4: The Berkeley Public Works and Fire departments should develop and implement holistic policies and traffic
calming/controls that promote broad-based public safety through tandem reductions in both traffic-related injury/death and response/evacuation times. The Department has
contracted with a consultant to perform an Evacuation and Response Time Study, which is projected to be completed in the Fall of 2024. The Department plans to participate in the upcoming revision to the City’s Bike Plan. The Department would like to be more engaged and lead on other collaborative efforts to advance the City’s complete streets initiatives however, additional funding for contractor support or FTE would be required.

January 24, 2024
Re: Final report, recommendations from the Standards of Coverage and Community Risk Assessment Study

Recommendation #5: Increase the staffing on six of the nine firefighting units (four engines, two aerial trucks) from three to four personnel per day.

The transition to staffing ambulances with non-firefighter paramedics will allow the Department to reassign a fourth firefighter to three of the six recommended firefighting units, beginning with the companies in the downtown core. This transition is anticipated to be complete no later than July 1, 2025. The Department will also continue to pursue FEMA grant funding to add a fourth firefighter on additional engine companies.

Recommendation #6: Provide the overtime staffing increase from three to four firefighters for engines 3, 4, and 7, which are closest to the eastern hills during high-hazard wildfire threat periods. This can be implemented in the 2024 wildfire season for Extreme Fire Weather Days as there is anticipated to be a minimal number of these. However, in order to implement this policy on Red Flag Days and as the climate changes, additional funding for the Department’s overtime budget will be required.

Recommendation #7: If ambulance and dispatch improvements do not improve acute emergency response times and lower unit-hour utilization (UHU) workload to no more than 30 percent for long,
contiguous hours of the day, the City should construct infill fire or ambulance-only stations between the current busiest station pairs of 2 and 5 and 1 and 6. The Department is working with the Police Department to pursue enhancements to the City’s Dispatch Center and is working to add ambulances to the system. Both of these solutions are ideal as the process to acquire and maintain additional facilities would require a substantial new investment.

Recommendation #8: Adopt updated deployment policies: City Council should consider adopting complete performance measures that begin with a 9 1 1 call being answered and end with the Fire
Department and/or an ambulance arriving at the emergency incident. The measures of time should be designed to save patients and keep small but serious fires from becoming more

complex or damaging. The Department is in the process of adopting a Respons
e Time Performance policy.

Recommendation #9: Adopt a split turnout time measure consisting of 2:00 minutes or less, 90 percent of the time, averaged over a 24-hour period, and within that, a daytime measure of 1:30 minutes or less, 90 percent of the time, from 0700–2200 hours. The Department is in the process of adopting a Response Time Performance
policy.

Recommendation #10: The City should add a second field operations Battalion Chief 24/7 as soon as fiscally possible. The Department will continue to pursue ways to partially or fully fund the implementation of this recommendation.

Executive Summary page 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Berkeley (City) Fire Department (Department) retained Citygate Associates, LLC (Citygate) to conduct the City’s first Standards of Cover (SOC) Study and Community Risk Assessment to define appropriate levels of service based on a comprehensive analysis of historical performance; expectations; and existing and projected community risk factors, hazards, population growth and aging, topography, and the density and vertical growth of the built environment.

Deployment strategies will then be proposed as indicated by the analysis. The study will assist the City in determining whether the current levels of service are appropriate for the risks to be protected in the City, and that the methods to ensure suitable service levels are consistent with generally accepted national standards and benchmarks.

This report is presented in two volumes. The Technical Report (Volume 1) includes: this Executive Summary, which contains a summary of our analysis and suggested next steps; Sections 1 and 2, which contain the deployment and SOC portions of the study ; and a comprehensive Community Risk Assessment provided as Appendix A . A Map Atlas of deployment coverage measures is provided in Volume 2.

Throughout this report, Citygate makes key findings and, where appropriate, specific action item recommendations. Overall, there are 17 key findings and 10 specific action item recommendations.

This summary cannot discuss every single issue in depth, but all are important and would not have been included in the Final Report otherwise.

POLICY CHOICES FRAMEWORK
While there are no mandatory federal or state regulations directing the level of fire service response times and outcomes , there are guidelines and best practices from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Insurance Services Office (ISO), the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI), and the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA). The level of service provided, and any resultant costs, is the choice of local communities in the United States. The body of re gulations related to fire services suggests that if fire services are provided, they must be provided with the safety of the firefighters and the pub lic in mind. Thus, there is often a constructive tension between the desired level of service and the level that can be funded, and many communities may not have the level of service they desire. The City’s investments in fire services over the past decades serve as its baseline commitment today.

This study identifies that the community has a high expectation for service delivery and, in order to meet that expectation, additional investment in fire services is necessary . The fundamental policy choices that drive a city’s investment in fire services are derived from two key questions:

1. What outcomes are desired for the emergencies to which the Department responds? Is the desire to keep a building fire to the room, building, or block of

Standards of Cover Study and Community Risk Assessment
Executive Summary page 2
origin, and to provide emergency medical care in time to lessen the possibility of preventable death and severe disability?

2. Should equitable response time coverage be provided to all neighborhoods with similar risks (building types and population density) to protect? Once desired outcomes are determined, fire and emergency medical services (EMS) first responder and ambulance deployment can then be designed to cover the most geography in the fewest minutes to meet stated outcome goals. In a large city with multiple neighborhoods such as Berkeley, it must be determined whether similarly populated areas should receive similar respo nse time performance from both fire and ambulance services units.

RESPONSE PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Citygate finds that the Department is organized only to accomplish “yesterday’s mission” and is struggling to meet current demand, much less the future growth of the City and university. The Department is working to adopt best practices, become proactive, and pursue understanding and service provision that is data driven. Citygate found a caring, committed workforce that is strongly dedicated to the City and agency , using best practices where possible to anticipate and meet the risks to be protected in the City. In conducting this study, Citygate received outstanding cooperation from Department and City executives. However, the Department is challenged by EMS call v olume growth, which significantly exceeds crew workload limits. The growth in population and medical incident demand which has occurred in the City over the past two decades, and which is projected to continue, will increasingly strain the Department’s response times, which are already substantially slower than best practice recommendations . Response times are further impacted in several large portions of the City due to the vast network of winding, narrow, non - conforming roadways. There are solutions to these issues that will take more than one fiscal year to correct. City leadership can use this study as a master plan to drive policy choices over the next several years.

The Department serves a diversity of populations , from residents to business employees an d students. These populations, across a varied zoning pattern combined with topography and road design constraints, place significant restrictions on best practice-based fire and EMS response times. Population drives service demand, and development brings population. Of the top 50 largest cities in California, Berkeley is already the second most densely populated city per square mile— second only to San Francisco —without factoring in the daily influx of students, Citywide employment, tourism, and cars on the freeways. The City needs an urban level of fire, EMS, and specialty rescue services.

The Department protects large tourism and non -resident population densities. As different areas continue to infill develop with resultant increases in population density, the Department’s

Page 223 of 362 ends

Page 455 ends

City of Berkeley Fire Department
Standards of Cover Study and Community Risk Assessment
Executive Summary page 3
firefighting and ambulance services will need adjustment just to recover timely response capacity, much less improve response times equitably across all neighborhoods —more so when simultaneous incidents occur at peak hours of the day.

Fire service deployment, simply summarized, is about the speed and weight of response. Speed refers to initial (first-due) response of all-risk intervention resources (e.g., engines, ladder trucks, and ambulances) strategically deployed across a jurisdiction for response to emergencies within a travel time interval sufficient to control routine -to-moderate emergencies without the incident escalating to greater size or severity. Weight refers to multiple-unit (Effective Response Force, or ERF) responses for more serious emergencies such as building fires, multiple -patient medical emergencies, vehicle collisions with extrication required, or technical rescue incidents . In these situations, enough firefighters must be assembled within a time interval to safely control the emergency and prevent it from escalating into an even more serious event.

Throughout the City, while the substantial growth in EMS incidents over the past two decades seems all-consuming, for the foreseeable future there will always be the need for both a first -due unit and multiple -unit response consistent with current best practices to limit the risk of fire damage to only part of an affected building and keep wildland fires small within the initial response force’s capabilities. Stated this way, all neighborhoods need a standby and readily available firefighting force that can respond when fires break out, regardless of peak -hour EMS workload.

As demonstrated by current extreme weather emergencies, there is also a need for a strong Fire Department during natural disasters, as the vulnerable members of the City’s population will need help from first responders.

INTEGRATED CHALLENGES – RESPONSE TIME, INCIDENT VOLUME, AND GROWTH The following table summarizes Citygate’s benchmarking the Department’s operational response performance for reporting year (RY) 2020/21 relative to national recognized best practices. These best practices were used as the City/Department do not yet have adopted performance measures.

First-Unit Call to Arrival 7:30 Citygate 9:32 + 2:02
ERF Call to Arrival 11:30 Citygate 18:50 + 7:20
As the table shows, call processing is taking longer than best practice. Crew turnout performance is nearly meeting recognized best practice goals. First-unit travel performance is 1:53 minutes slower than the 4:00-minute best practice goal due to several factors: station location, open spaces, terrain, and traffic congestion . Overall, first-unit call-to-arrival and ERF call-to-arrival performance, which is a fire agency’s true customer service measure, are both significantly slower than their respective 7:30-minute and 11:30-minute best practice goals.

To set a travel time goal and a resultant total response time goal for Berkeley, Citygate assessed the results by the fifth minute of travel, which we find to be acceptable in urban areas. In the City, the fifth travel minute coverage per fire station area ranges from 53.5 percent to 90.5 percent. The three most populated and highest incident volume station areas are stations 1, 2, and 5, whose grouping is the “triangle” of stations at the City’s core. By the fifth minute of travel, performance across all three stations averages 86.9 percent, with stations 2 and 5 both hitting 90 percent. Thus, the largest population, risk, and incident densities are reached by the fifth minute of travel.

Based on fifth-minute coverage in the core of the City, and due to the fact that the waterfront and upper hills areas cannot be covered as quickly due to road design and topography, Citygate recommends the City adopt a 5:00-minute travel time goal which, when added to an improved, best practice dispatch time of 1:30 minutes and a turnout goal of 2:00 minutes , yields a total response time goal of 8:30 minutes. This will deliver first responder paramedics to the highest-risk areas in an acceptable amount of time.

The City is also evolving to improve its housing shortages by approving mid -rise and high-rise residential buildings. UC Berkeley is completing its new master plan to add students, faculty, on- campus buildings and housing off-campus.

Executive Summary page 5
The ongoing intensification of land uses , building heights , and population density will make several sections of the City very urban—typical of the largest metropolitan cities for building fire and rescue/EMS challenges. The cumulative effect of these projects around the City necessitates a shift in staffing and response models as well as an increase in the flexibility of emergency medical resources. The City’s fire and ambulance programs must evolve to those suitable for a major urban fire department in staffing, unit types , and facility locations. Citygate acknowledges this will not only be costly but also very difficult to find new locations for responders.

While state fire code requires fire sprinklers in residential dwellings, it will be many more decades before enough residential units are replaced or remodeled with automatic fire sprinklers. If desired outcomes include limiting building fire damage to onl y part of the inside of an affected building and minimizing permanent impairment resulting from a medical emergency, then the City will need coverage in all neighborhoods that is consistent with Citygate ’s response performance recommendation for Berkeley . Based on Citygate’s study, this response performance recommendation entails no more than 8:30 minutes for the arrival of a single first responder, and 11:30 minutes for a multiple -unit arrival to more serious incidents , from the time of 9 -1-1 notification at the Berkeley Police Communications Center—all at 90 percent or better reliability.

Dispatch, turnout, and travel times all need to be reduced. Dispatch time must decrease by 0:5 9 seconds to meet a 1:30-minutes call-processing goal, turnout time by :05 seconds to meet a 2:00- minute goal, and travel time by 0:53 seconds to meet a proposed goal of no more than 5:00 minutes for first-due units in congested urban areas. Collectively, Citygate’s recommended first-unit total response time goal is 8:30 minutes (1:30 + 2:00 + 5:00).

Berkeley must act (1) to restore emergency responder availability for serious, life-threatening fires and emergency medical service events and (2) to field enough firefighters to serious building or wildland fires quickly.

OVERALL SUMMARY OF CITY FIRE SERVICE DEPLOYMENT
Recovering response time and unit capacity goals will require multiple changes over the next three years to first improve and then maintain response times as growth occurs:

1. Increasing the number of ambulances from four to six.

2. Shifting responsibility for non-acute EMS calls from the 9 -1-1 Fire/Ambulance program to a Mobile Integrated Health program like the City ’s pilot Mobile Integrated Paramedic (MIP) program.

3. Improving dispatch staffing and systems to allow for EMS clinical call triage.

4. Working collaboratively with Public Works staff and traffic safety advocates to engineer methods to lessen disproportionate impacts on emergency response times as the City redesigns streets using its Complete Streets policy.

Page 226 of 362 ends

Standards of Cover Study and Community Risk Assessment
Executive Summary page 6

5. Increasing staffing to four personnel each on key engines and ladder trucks.

6. Adding a second field operations Battalion Chief 24 /7 for improved crew supervision and to add an immediate scene safety officer to support the Battalion Chief / Incident Commander for serious emergency incidents.

If these six strategies do not improve acute emergency response times and lower unit-hour utilization (UHU) workload to no more than 30 percent, the City should construct infill fire or ambulance-only stations between the current busiest station pairs of 2 and 5 and 1 and 6 . These areas are also where much of the infill development, high-rise building, and UC Berkeley campus growth will occur.

Citygate finds the Department’s response apparatus types to be appropriate to protect against the hazards likely to impact the City. However, fire crew staffing of three per unit is insufficient to provide the necessary “weight” of response to serious fires—especially so in mid - and high-rise buildings and for severe wildland fires that start in the hills. Currently , the Department’s service capacity for fire and non-fire risk consists of 37 personnel on duty daily, including one Battalion Chief, one mobile Paramedic Supervisor, and 27 firefighters staffing seven engines and two aerial ladder trucks. An additional eight firefighters currently staff four ambulances and operate from the Department’s seven fire stations. However, engines are very busy providing EMS response, and the firefighters staffing ambulances are not consistently available for firefighting at present. Over the next several years, three firefighters per day will be moved to an engine and both ladders, thus raising three of the nine firefighting units to four-firefighter staffing consistent with NFPA Standard 1710 and Citygate best practices for high -density urban core areas. These firefighters will be replaced by non -firefighter EMS personnel on the ambulances, thus aligning the classification with the work and creating a more efficient system. However, only three units with four-firefighter staffing will not be enough. At a minimum, four-firefighter staffing should be provided:
◆ On four engines: 1, 2, 5, and 6
◆ On trucks 2 and 5
◆ Occasionally (on high-fire danger wildland fire days) on engines 3, 4, and 7.

When increasing firefighting units to four crew members each, one additional firefighter per day will have to be newly funded, which amounts to a total of three added firefighting personnel per crew (plus the overtime to cover their leave absences) on a three-platoon fire crew rotation system.

The wildfire threat days which increase staffing to four each can be handled via overtime during daylight hours or when winds are most severe. When the engine and ladder units identified are staffed with four personnel each, the daily staffing for units other than ambulances increases from 27 to 33 per day—much more consistent with the risks to be protected in a thriving, growing urban area with internationally known assets and a tragic history of wildland fires.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Following are all findings and recommendations presented throughout this report.

Findings
Finding #1: The Department’s physical response unit types are appropriate to protect against the hazards likely to impact the City.

Finding #2: The Department’s minimum daily Citywide staffing of 27 firefighting unit response personnel assigned to engine and truck companies is only sufficient for a modest single-family house fire or small commercial building fire at the ground floor.

Finding #3: The Department has not established response performance goals consistent with best practice recommendations as published by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International. The current City Council budget goal measures do not reflect policy resolution or a specific General Plan policy.

Finding #4: The Department has a standard response plan that considers risk and establishes an appropriate initial response for each incident type; each type of call for service receives the combination of engines, trucks, ambulances, specialty units, and command officers customarily needed to effectively control that type of incident based on Department experience.

Finding #5: The mapping evaluation of coverage demonstrates that the City has an adequate number of fire stations. However, as incident statistics demonstrate, best practice travel times are not being delivered due to multiple factors.

Finding #6: As shown in this study’s GIS models, t raffic congestion decreases first-unit road mile coverage by only 3.6 percent, which, in Citygate’s experience, is not severe.

However, overall traffic congestion does still contribute to the Department’s slower real-world, non-GIS-modeled travel times . There is a more significant impact on multiple-unit ERF responses, eroding road mile coverage by 26 percent.

Finding #7: At least two simultaneous incidents are occurring nearly 47 percent of the time.

This primarily impacts station areas 5, 2, and 1.

Finding #8: While the annual number of simultaneous incidents has decreased slightly, the response time coverage provided by the busiest companies to their own and to adjacent station areas remains diminished, shifting workload to other companies.

Executive Summary page 8
Finding #9: The City’s ambulance system must provide an increased number of full - and part- time ambulances.

Finding #10: The City ’s call processing / dispatch performance is not meeting Citygate’s recommended best-practice goal of 1:30 minutes at 90 percent or better reliability.

Finding #11: At 2: 05 minutes averaged over 24 hours , the Department is just over meeting Citygate’s recommended 2:00-minute crew turnout performance goal. As sleeping hours increase turnout time, consider adopting a turnout measure of 1:30 minutes during daytime hours to provide greater clarity and reflect Department performance more accurately.

Finding #12: At 5:53 minutes, 90th percentile first-unit travel time is significantly higher than the 5:00-minute best practice goal for urban areas.

Finding #13: At 9:32 minutes in RY 20/21, 90th percentile first-unit call-to-arrival performance is 2:02 minutes slower than an optimum best practice goal of 7:30 minutes for urban areas.

Finding #14: At 18:50 minutes across the three years of data, 90th percentile ERF (First Alarm) call-to-arrival performance is 7:20 minutes slower than the 11:30-minute Citygate- recommended best practice goal for urban areas.

Finding #15: The Public Works and Fire departments have not yet established an effective set of integrated policies and traffic -calming methods to improve public safety by minimizing roadway injuries, deaths, and response/evacuation times.

Finding #16: The City’s planned expansion of ambulance service is consistent with best practices and will provide needed improvement, but upgrades in dispatcher skills for clinical evaluation to recognize and separate low-acuity incidents will not be fully realized for at least three more years , and likely longer . Given the ongoing strain on ambulances staffed with only firefighter/paramedics, the process of conversion and expansion of ambulances is too slow to meet current (and growing) EMS service demands.

Finding #17: Based on the most recent year’s quantity of mental health patients being transported, if the Department is tasked with management of these patients, it would require the addition of one 24-hour ambulance and one 12-hour peak ambulance— both operating seven days a week. At present, the Department does not have the units or personnel to administer this workload.

Recommendations
Recommendation #1: Proceed with the planned conversion to staffing the four current ambulances with non-firefighter paramedics and EMTs.

Recommendation #2: The Department needs to add two additional ambulances, requiring 16 additional non-firefighter Paramedics and/or EMT FTE personnel.

Recommendation #5: Increase the staffing on six of the nine firefighting units (four engines, two aerial trucks) from three to four personnel per day.

Recommendation #6: Provide the overtime staffing increase from three to four firefighters for engines 3, 4 , and 7, which are closest to the eastern hills during high-hazard wildfire threat periods.

Recommendation #8: Adopt updated deployment policies: City Council should consider adopting complete performance measures that begin with a 9-1-1 call being answered and end with the Fire Department and/or an ambulance arriving at the emergency incident. The measures of time should be designed to save patients and keep small but serious fires from becoming more complex or damaging. With this is mind, Citygate recommends the following outcome -based measures for the major emergency types:

8.1: Geographic Distribution of Fire Stations: To treat medical patients and control small fires, the first -due unit should arrive within 8:30

Page 230 of 362 ends

Page 462 ends

City of Berkeley Fire Department
Standards of Cover Study and Community Risk Assessment
Executive Summary page 10
minutes, 90 percent of the time, from receipt of the 9-1-1 call in the fire dispatch center. This equates to a 90-second dispatch time, a maximum 2:00-minute nighttime company turnout time, and a 5:00-minute travel time, which is realistic for Berkeley as a more urban area.

8.2: Multiple-Unit Effective Response Force for Serious Emergencies:

To confine fires near the room of origin and treat up to five medical patients at once, a multiple-unit response of a minimum of four engines, two ladder truck s, one ambulance, one Medic Supervisor, and one Battalion Chief—totaling a minimum of 22 personnel—should arrive within 11:30 minutes from the time of 9-1-1 call receipt in fire dispatch, 90 percent of the time. This equates to a 90 -second dispatch time, a 2:00-minute company turnout time, and an 8:00-minute travel time.

8.3: Hazardous Materials Response: The Department needs to maintain its hazardous materials response as designed to protect the community from hazards associated with uncontrolled release of hazardous and toxic materials. The first-due unit should arrive to investigate a hazmat release at the operations level within 8:30 minutes, 90 percent of the time. This equates to a 90 -second dispatch time, a 2:00-minute company turnout time, and a 5:00-minute travel time in urban population areas. After assessment and scene evaluation is completed, a determination can be made whether to request additional resources.

8.4: Technical Rescue: To respond to technical rescue emergencies as efficiently and effectively as possible with enough trained personnel to facilitate a successful rescue, the first -due company to arrive for assessment of the rescue should achieve a 5:00 -minute travel time in urban to suburban areas , 90 percent of the time. Additional resources capable of initiating a rescue should be assembled within a total response time of 11:30 minutes, 90 percent of the time, with the result being a safe and complete rescue/extrication to ensure delivery of patients to a definitive care facility.

Recommendation #9: Adopt a split turnout time measure consisting of 2 :00 minutes or less, 90 percent of the time, averaged over a 24-hour period, and within that, a daytime measure of 1:30 minutes or less, 90 percent of the time, from 0700–2200 hours.

Recommendation #10: The City should add a second field operations Battalion Chief 24/7 as soon as fiscally possible.

SECTION 1—INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The City of Berkeley (City) Fire Department (Department) retained Citygate Associates, LLC (Citygate) to conduct a Standards of Cover (SOC) Study and Community Risk Assessment to define appropriate levels of service based on a comprehensive analysis of historical performance; expectations; and existing and projected community risk factors, hazards, population growth and aging, topography, and the density and vertical growth of the build environment . Deployment strategies will then be proposed as indicated by the analysis. The study will assist the Department in determining whether the current levels of service are appropriate for the risks to be protected in the City, and that the methods to ensure suitable service levels are consistent with generally accepted national standards and benchmarks.

Citygate’s scope of work conforms with the methodology outlined in Standards of Response Coverage (fifth and sixth editions) as published by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) and addresses all elements of the City’s requested scope of work. The study also incorporates guidelines and best practices in the field of deployment and risk analysis from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Insurance Services Office (ISO), the CFAI, the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA), relevant federal and state laws and regulations, and other recognized industry best practices.

1.1.1 Goals of Report
Citygate cites findings and makes recommendations as appropriate related to each finding.

Findings and recommendations throughout this report are sequentially numbered. A complete list of the same findings and recommendations is provided in the Executive Summary.

This document provides technical information about how fire services are provided and legally regulated and the way the Department currently operates. This information is presented in the form of recommendations and policy choices for consideration by the Department and City.

The result is a strong technical foundation upon which to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the choices facing Department and City leadership regarding the best way to provide fire services and, more specifically, at what level of desired outcome and expense.

1.1.2 Limitations of Report
In the United States, there are no federal or state regulations requiring a specific minimum level of fire services. Each community, through the public policy process, is expected to understand the local fire and non-fire risks and its ability to pay and then choose its level of fire services. If fire services are provided at all , federal and state regulations specify how to safely provide them for the public and for the personnel providing the services.

While this report and technical explanation can provide a framework for the discussion of Department services, neither this report nor the Citygate team can make the final decisions, nor can they cost out every possible alternative in detail. Once final st rategic choices receive policy approval, City staff can conduct any final costing and fiscal analyses as typically completed in its normal operating and capital budget preparation cycle.

1.2 PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

1.2.1 Project Approach and Methodology
At the start of this study, Citygate reviewed relevant background data and information to better understand current service levels, costs, and the history of service level decisions, including prior studies.

Citygate subsequently reviewed demographic information about the City and the potential for future growth and development. Citygate also obtained map and response data from which to model current and projected fire service deployment , with the goal to identify the location(s) of stations and crew quantities required to best serve the City as it currently exists and to facilitate future deployment planning.

Once Citygate gained an understanding of the Department’s service area and its fire and non -fire risks, the Citygate team then developed a deployment model that was tested against the travel time

Standards of Cover Study and Community Risk Assessment
Section 1—Introduction and Background page 15
mapping and prior response data to ensure an appropriate fit. Citygate also evaluated future City growth as well as UC Berkeley’s proposed on- and off-campus expansion to model service demand by risk type and evaluate potential alternative emergency service delivery models. This resulted in Citygate proposing an approach to address current and long -range needs with effective and efficient use of existing resources. The result is a framework for enhancing Department services while meeting reasonable community expectations and fiscal realities.

1.2.2 Scope of Work
Citygate’s approach to this study included:
◆ Reviewing relevant information data and information provided by the Department and City.
◆ Interviewing internal City and Department study team members and stakeholders. ◆ Receiving a general summary of the City and services provided by the Fire Department.
◆ Using best practice study guidelines as needed from the CFAI, the NFPA, the International Code Council , the ISO, Cal/OSHA, federal and state laws, and recognized industry best practices.
◆ Obtaining the Department’s historical incident data.
◆ Understanding and forecasting the Department’s ambulance delivery system needs. ◆ Conducting a comprehensive Community Risk Assessment. ◆ Preparing a comprehensive report that includes analysis -based findings and recommendations, including an executive summary presentation of the written report for City stakeholders.

1.3 CITY OVERVIEW1
The City of Berkeley is in Alameda County on the east side of the San Francisco Bay approximately ten miles east of San Francisco. The City encompasses 10.43 square miles of land and 7.22 square miles of water for a total area of 17.66 square miles, and has an estimated resident population of 124,563,2 making it the second most densely populated of the 51 most populated Cities in California, second only to San Francisco.

The City is among the oldest cities in California. Founded in 1864, it was incorporated as a town in 1878 and as a city in 1909. The original City Charter was adopted in 1895. A s the geographic

midpoint of the Greater Bay Area, Berkeley is 20 minutes from San Francisco and close to population centers in Contra Costa County and the Silicon Valley.

The City is governed by a City Council composed of members elected from eight districts to serve four-year terms, and a Mayor who serves as the president of the City Council, elected Citywide to a four -year term. The City’s fiscal year ( FY) 2021 adopted budget included $447,702,457 of expenditures and reserves, of which $194,718,710 was allocated to the General Fund of the City and $252,983,747 to all other funds. The City employs approximately 1,579 full -time equivalent (FTE) employees. The City provides a full range of services exceeding that of most similarly sized cities in California.

To a large degree , the City is defined both culturally and economically by the presence of the University of California campus located on the eastern side of the City. The City has a diversified economy led by UC Berkeley, Lawrence Berkely National Laboratory, tourism, technology, and commercial/industrial businesses. The City provides a full range of urban community services , including police, fire, marina, water, refuse and recycling, street, parking, planning, building, engineering, parks, economic development, library, recreation, cultural, and educational services.

With 45,057 students and approximately 20,1293 employees of all types , the UC Berkeley institution provides a high degree of economic stability for the City and has spurred growth in the high technology and biotechnology sectors. The Federal Government Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory also has 4,200 employees, and the Alta Bates Medical Center has approximately 3,100 employees. The City’s current economic base consists of approximately 12,100 active licensed businesses operating in the City. These businesses include private manufacturing, technology research, retail and service businesses, educational services, healthcare and social assista nce, cannabis clubs, consulting, arts and entertainment, and hospitality services, along with several state, federal, and non-profit institutions.4

1.3.1 Future Growth and Development
The previous Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) 2040 Plan projected that Berkeley’s population would grow by 17.8 percent to 140,935 by 2040.5 That plan is now obsolete, however, and the new 2050 One Bay Area Plan does not make specific projections for local communities, focusing instead on regional growth. As the following table shows, historical population data from the State Department of Finance cites Berkeley’s prior population growth rate at 8.9 percent when accounting solely for residents.

Table 2—Population Change in State, County, and Neighboring Cities (2000–2020)

However, for the purposes of this fire and EMS services assessment, prior growth rates should not be used. The City recently updated single-family zoning and accessory dwelling unit (ADU) allowances along with processing multiple mid- and high-rise residential building plans. As of late 2021, the City has 61 residential units of all types approved or under construction totaling 3,560 units. Another 11 projects were in design that would contain several hundred more residential units. All but two of these projects ranged in height from three to six stories. The City has moved in many areas to increased density development and redevelopment over that of single-family zoning. For example, 5,000 more dwelling units with an average of 2.44 people6 per unit could add 12,200 more residents in three to seven years, which—in addition to the current population of 124,563—would be an increase of 9.8 percent, which is likely a low estimate.

UC Berkeley Growth
Since late 2020, UC Berkeley has been doing advance planning for its future needs in cooperation with the City. Two planning projects are processing together—the 2021 Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) and the Campus Master Plan. The LRDP is the regulatory framework to drive high- level population projections and a subsequent EIR. The Campus Master Plan is an aspirational planning document. The LRDP was completed mid-2021 and focuses on the planning areas shown in the following figure.

To date, t he planning projects have generated these campus community population projections.

The potential student and faculty residential developments are at all sides of core campus and at the Clark Kerr campus. All development areas are at the perimeter or just inside the City, and thus are protected by the Department.

Figure 2—Population Assumptions and Development

If all campus population and facility square footage growth projected in the previous figure is eventually realized, the result will be significant, measurable impacts to the Department, as will be discussed elsewhere in this study.

Service Demand of Population by Age
Population drives demand for EMS services. However, it is not easy to account for multiple variables by age group, such as basic access to health care, being fully insured, access to preventive care, cultural and language barriers etc. One recent estimate put forth 40 percent of California’s population as eligible for MediCal (Medicaid); however, this does not mean that percentage of the population is enrolled. Further, MediCal has not historically covered more than a token payment against the true, full cost of an ambulance transport.

Utilizing EMS incident data for the City, generally 40 percent of patients are over age 65, which represents only 13.7 percent of the total population according to census data. Patients between 18 and 23 years of age account for approximately 10 percent of patients. Patients between the ages of 18 and 23, and those 65 or older, account for roughly half of all the documented patients in Berkeley. According to the same data, the number of documented patients over 65 has steadily risen since 2013. It is common ly understood that America is “graying ,” but this generality does not mean that every senior is dependent on EMS for primary health care access. The houseless represent many age groups and most have no routine health care. What can be said is that until

there is fundamental health care reform economically in America, the issues that have dramatically increased ambulance demand over the last two decades show no signs of slowing.

1.4.3 Service Capacity
Service capacity refers to the Department’s available response force; the size, types, and condition of its response fleet and any specialized equipment; core and specialized performance capabilities and competencies; resource distribution and concentration; availability of automatic or mutual aid;

Page 243 of 362 ends

Page 475 ends

City of Berkeley Fire Department
Standards of Cover Study and Community Risk Assessment
Section 1—Introduction and Background page 23
and any other agency-specific factors influencing its ability to meet current and prospective future service demand relative to the risks to be protected.

The Department’s service capacity for fire and non -fire risk consists of 37 personnel on duty daily—including one mobile Paramedic Supervisor and one Battalion Chief—staffing seven engines, two aerial ladder trucks, and four ambulances, and operating from the Department’s seven fire stations. The Department also has one Type-3 wildland engine, two Type-6 wildland engines, one hazardous materials apparatus, one fireboat, one rescue watercraft, and two all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) that can be cross-staffed by on-duty personnel as needed.

All response personnel are trained to either the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) level, capable of providing Basic Life Support (BLS) pre -hospital emergency medical care, or EMT - Paramedic (Paramedic) level, capable of providing Advanced Life Support (ALS) pre -hospital emergency medical care. All engines are staffed with a minimum of one EMT -Paramedic, and ambulances are staffed with two paramedics. T he Department also provides ground ambulance services; air ambulance services, when needed, are provided by CALSTAR/REACH from Concord, Stanford Life Flight from Palo Alto, East Bay Regional Parks Police Department, or the California Highway Patrol. Emerge ncy room services are available at Alameda Hospital (Alameda), Alan Bates Summit Medical Centers and Highland Hospital (Oakland), Kaiser Oakland (Oakland), and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital (Oakland). Highland Hospital and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital are also Level 1 Trauma Centers, and Eden Medical Center is a Level 2 Trauma Center.

Response personnel are also trained to the U.S. Department of Transportation Hazardous Material First Responder Operational level to provide initial hazardous material incident assessment, hazard isolation, and support for a hazardous material response team. When needed, technical hazardous materials response is provided by Station 2 personnel trained to the Hazardous Materials Specialist level cross -staffing a hazardous material apparatus. For significant spills and releases, the Department responds via the Alameda County Fire Department Hazardous Materials Team.

All response personnel are further trained to the Confined Space Awareness level, with technical rescue capability available as needed from the City of Oakland. The Department has obtained a Cal OES Type-2 Urban Search and Rescue trailer and is designing a technical rescue program.

Marine response capacity includes up to 24 personnel certified to the State Fire Training Open Water Rescuer and/or Open Water Rescue Boat Operator level. In addition, the Department cross- staffs a 27-foot Type IV fireboat and a trailered rescue watercraft—moored at the Berkeley Marina and staffed with on-duty Station 1 and Station 6 personnel as needed.

The Department has automatic and mutual aid agreements with all the directly adjoining departments in both Alameda and Contra Costa counties, along with being a signatory to the Alameda County Fire Mutual Aid Plan and California Master Mutual Aid Agreement.

SECTION 2—STANDARDS OF COVER ANALYSIS
This section provides a detailed analysis of the Department’s current ability to deploy and mitigate hazards within its service area. The response analysis uses prior response statistics and geographic mapping to help the Department and the community to visualize what the current response system can and cannot deliver.

2.1 STANDARDS OF COVER PROCESS OVERVIEW
The core methodology used by Citygate in the scope of its deployment analysis work is Standards of Response Coverage (fifth and sixth editions) , which is a systems -based approach to fire department deployment published by the CFAI. This approach uses local risks and demographics to determine the level of protection best fitting a community’s needs.

The SOC method evaluates deployment as part of a fire agency’s self -assessment process. This approach uses risk and community expectations regarding outcomes to help elected officials make informed decisions regarding fire and emergency medical services deployment levels. Citygate has adopted this multi ple-part systems approach as a comprehensive tool to evaluate fire station locations. Depending on the needs of the study, the depth of the components may vary.

In contrast to a one -size-fits-all prescriptive formula, such a systems approach to deployment allows for local determination. In this comprehensive approach, each agency can match local needs (risks and expectations) with the costs of various levels of service. In an informed public policy debate, a governing board “purchases” the fire and emergency medical service levels the community needs and can afford.

While working with multiple components to conduct a deployment analysis is admittedly more work, it yields a much better result than using only a singular component. For instance, if only travel time is considered and the frequency of multiple calls is not, the analysis could miss overworked companies. If a risk assessment for deployment is not considered and deployment is based only on travel time, a community could under-deploy to incidents.

The following table describes the eight elements of the SOC process.

Source: CFAI, Standards of Cover, fifth edition
Fire service deployment, simply summarized, is about the speed and weight of response. Speed refers to initial (first-due) response of all-risk intervention resources (e.g., engines, ladder trucks, and ambulances) strategically deployed across a jurisdiction for response to emergencies within a travel time interval sufficient to control routine -to-moderate emergencies without the incident escalating to greater size or severity. Weight refers to multiple-unit ERF responses for more serious emergencies such as building fires, multiple-patient medical emergencies, vehicle collisions with extrication required, or technical rescue incidents. In these situations, enough firefighters must be assembled within a time interval to safely control the emergency and prevent it from escalating into an even more serious event.

The following table illustrates this deployment paradigm.

Weight of Response

Thus, smaller fires and less complex emergencies require a single - or two-unit response (engine or specialty resource such as an ambulance) within a relatively short response time. Larger or more complex incidents require more units and personnel to control. In either case, if crews arrive too late or the total number of personnel is too few for the emergency, they are drawn into an escalating and more dangerous situation. The science of fire crew deployment is to spread crews out across a community or jurisdiction for quick response to keep emergencies small with positive outcomes without spreading resources so far apart they cannot assemble quickly enough to effectively control more serious emergencies.

2.2 CURRENT DEPLOYMENT
Nationally recognized standards and best practices suggest using several incremental measurements to define response time. Ideally, the clock start time is when the 9 -1-1
dispatcher receives the emergency call. In some cases, the call must then be transferred to a separate fire dispatch center. In this setting, the response time clock starts when the fire center receives the 9-1-1 call into its computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system. Response time increments include dispatch center call processing, crew alerting and response unit boarding (commonly called turnout time), and actual driving (travel) time.

The following table summarizes the Department’s current response performance goals;7 however, City Council has not , by separate Council policy, adopted performance goals. The General Plan does not contain specific response measures, but rather strategies reflecting the need to protect the community from fire. In the annual City Fire Department budget measure page, the Department does report the following response time measure . While the entire budget is adopted by the Council, it would be a stronger best practice to adopt, by Council resolution, performance measures

by which to govern fire and emergency medical services. Otherwise, at any given budget cycle, a council could choose to deviate from the Department’s reported measures without a specific vote on changing the response time goals.

The Department’s current response performance goals do not mirror industry-recognized best practices for first-unit responses, including all three response elements and reliability percentages.8 NFPA Standard 1710, a recommended deployment standard for career fire departments in urban/suburban areas, recommends initial (first-due) intervention units arrive within a travel time of 4:00 minutes, and all resources comprising a multiple-unit First Alarm arrive within a travel time of 8:00 minutes, all at 90 percent or better reliability.

The most recent ly published NFPA best practices have decreased recommended dispatch / call processing time to 1:00 minute for events with an imminent threat to life or significant property damage and 1:30 minutes for hazardous materials or technical rescue incidents, for joint response with law enforcement involving weapons, or for incidents involving language barriers.9 Further, for crew turnout time, 60 to 80 seconds is recommended. However, the prior edition of NFPA Standard 1221—and Citygate’s experience across many systems—finds 90 seconds for dispatch, and a turnout time of 2:00 minutes across a 24-hour-per-day average, to be effective and safe goals.

During high demand daylight hours, the turnout goal should be closer to 1:30 minutes.

If the travel time measures recommended by the NFPA and Citygate are added to dispatch processing and crew turnout times recommended by Citygate and NFPA best practices, then a

8 NFPA 1710 – Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by Career Fire Departments (2020 Edition). 9 NFPA 1221 – Standard for the Installation, Maintenance, and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems (2019 Edition).

realistic 90 percent first-due unit response performance goal is now 7:30 minutes (or 8:30 minutes if a 5:00-minute travel time is used) from the time of the Berkeley Police 9-1-1 dispatch center receiving the call. This includes 1:30 minutes for call processing / dispatch, 2:00 minutes for crew turnout, and 4:00–5:00 minutes for travel time.

2.2.1 Current Deployment Model
Resources and Staffing
The Department’s current deployment model meets the minimum staffing standards for building fires as recommended by NFPA 1710, providing sufficient personnel for serious fire incidents or other emergencies requiring a multiple-unit response to effectively resolve, along with providing additional response capacity for one to two simultaneous incidents.

At present, the Department’s EMS Division provides paramedic ambulance transport services with four ambulances, supplemented by a paramedic on each fire crew. The ambulance program has grown in volume and was being expanded concurrently with Citygate’s study. This expansion will be reviewed in more detail in the deployment recommendations section.

Response Plan
The Department is an all -risk fire agency providing the population it protects with services that include fire suppression; pre -hospital paramedic (ALS) emergency medical services; ambulance transport; hazardous material and technical rescue response; open water safety/response; and other non-emergency services, including fire prevention, wildland-urban interface, office of emergency services, community outreach, and other related services.

Given these risks, the Department utilizes a tiered response plan calling for different types and numbers of resources depending on incident/risk type. The City’s 9-1-1 dispatch CAD system selects and dispatches the closest and most appropriate resource (s) pursuant to the Department’s response plan, as summarized in the following table.

Finding #4: The Department has a standard response plan that considers risk and establishes an appropriate initial response for each incident type; each type of call for service receives the combination of engines, trucks, ambulances, specialty units, and command officers customarily needed to effectively control that type of incident based on Department experience.

2.3 OUTCOME EXPECTATIONS
The SOC process begins by reviewing existing emergency
services outcome expectations. This includes determining for what purpose the response system exists and whether the governing body has adopted any response performance measures. If it has, the time measures used must be
understood and good data must be available.

Current national best practice is to measure percent completion of a goal (e.g., 90 percent of responses) instead of an average measure. Mathematically, this is called a fractile measure.10 This is because measuring the average only identifies the central or middle point of response time

10 A fractile is that point below which a stated fraction of the values lies. The fraction is often given in percent; the term percentile may then be used.

performance for all calls for service in the data set. Using an average makes it impossible to know how many incidents had response times that were far above the average or just above.

For example, the following figure shows response times for a hypothetical small fire department that receives 20 calls for service each month. Each response time has been plotted on the graph from shortest response time to longest response time.

The following figure shows that the average response time is 8.7 minutes. However, the average response time fails to properly account for four calls for service with response times far exceeding a threshold in which positive outcomes could be expected. In fact, it is evident in the figure that 20 percent of responses are far too slow, and that this hypothetical jurisdiction has a potential life- threatening service delivery problem. Average response time as a fire service delivery measurement is simply not sufficient. This is a significant issue in larger cities if hundreds or thousands of calls are answered far beyond the average point.

By using the fractile measurement with 90 percent of all responses, this small jurisdiction has a response time of 18:00 minutes, 90 percent of the time. Stated another way, 90 percent of all responses are 18:00 minutes or less. This fractile measurement is far more accurate in reflecting the service delivery situation of this small agency.

More importantly, within the SOC process, positive outcomes are the goal . From that, crew size and response time can be calculated to provide appropriate fire station spacing (distribution and concentration) to achieve the desired goal . Emergency medical incidents include situations with the most severe time constraints. The brain can only survive 4:00 to 6:00 minutes without oxygen.

Cardiac arrest and other events can cause oxygen deprivation to the brain. Cardiac arrests make up a small percentage, with drowning, choking, trauma constrictions, or other similar events hav ing the same effect. In a building fire, a small incipient fire can grow to involve the entire room in a 3:00- to 5:00-minute time frame. If fire service response is to achieve positive outcomes in severe emergency medical situations and incipient fire situations, all responding crews must arrive, assess the situation, and deploy effective measures before brain death occurs or the fire spreads beyond the room of origin.

Thus, from the time of 9-1-1 receiving the call, an effective deployment system is beginning to manage the problem within a 7:00 - to 8:00-minute total response time. This is right at the point that brain death is becoming irreversible, and the fire has grown to the point of leaving the room of origin and becoming very serious. Thus, the City needs a first-due response goal that is within a range to give the situation hope for a positive outcome. It is important to note that fire or medical emergency events continue to deteriorate from the time of inception, not from the time the fire engine or amb ulance starts to drive the response route. Ideally, the emergency is noticed immediately, and the 9 -1-1 system is activated promptly. This step of awareness —calling 9-1-1 and giving the dispatcher accurate information—takes, in the best of circumstances, 1:00 minute.

Then crew notification and travel time take additional minutes. Upon arrival, the crew must approach the patient or emergency, assess the situation, and appropriately deploy its skills and tools. Even in easy-to-access situations, this step can take 2:00 minutes or more. This time frame may be increased considerably due to long driveways, apartment buildings with limited access, multiple-story buildings, or enclosed shopping centers.

Unfortunately, there are times when the emergency has become too severe, even before the 9-1-1 notification or fire department response, for the responding crew to reverse; however, when an appropriate response time policy is combined with a well-designed deployment system, then only anomalies like bad weather, poor traffic conditions, or multiple emergencies slow down the response system. Consequently, a properly designed system will give citizens the hope of a positive outcome for their tax dollar expenditure.

For this report, total response time is the sum of the Berkeley Police 9-1-1 center call processing/dispatch, fire crew turnout, and road travel time intervals, which is consistent with CFAI and NFPA best practice recommendations.

2.4 COMMUNITY RISK ASSESSMENT
The third element of the SOC process is a community risk assessment. Within the context of an SOC study, the
objectives of a community risk assessment are to:
◆ Identify the values at risk to be protected
within the community or service area.
◆ Identify the specific hazards with the potential to adversely impact the community or service area.
◆ Quantify the overall risk associated with each hazard. ◆ Establish a foundation for current/future deployment decisions and risk - reduction/hazard-mitigation planning and evaluation.

A hazard is broadly defined as a situation or condition that can cause or contribute to harm.

Examples include fire, medical emergency, vehicle collision, earthquake, flood, etc. Risk is broadly defined as the probability of hazard occurrence in combination with the likely severity of resultant impacts to people, property, and the community.

2.4.1 Risk Assessment Methodology
The methodology employed by Citygate to assess community risks as an integral element of an SOC study incorporates the following elements:
◆ Identification of geographic planning sub -zones (risk zones) appropriate to the community or jurisdiction.
◆ Identification and quantification, to the extent data is available, of the specific values at risk to various hazards within the community or service area. ◆ Identification of the fire and non -fire hazards likely to impact the community or service area relative to services provided by the fire agency. ◆ Determination of the probability of occurrence for each hazard. ◆ Determination of the likely impact severity for each hazard by planning zone. ◆ Determination of overall risk by hazard considering probability of occurrence and likely impact severity according to the following template.

2.4.2 Values to Be Protected
Broadly defined, values are those tangibles of significant importance or value to the community or jurisdiction that are potentially at risk of harm or damage from a hazard occurrence. Values at risk typically include people, buildings, critical facilities/infrastructure, and key economic, cultural, historic, and natural resources.

People
Residents, employees, visitors, and travelers in a community or jurisdiction are vulnerable to harm from a hazard occurrence. Particularly vulnerable are specific at-risk populations, including those unable to care for themselves or self -evacuate in the ev ent of an emergency. At -risk populations typically include children younger than 10 years, the elderly, and people housed in institutional settings. Key demographic data for the City includes the following:11 ◆ The Department serves a diverse urban population with densities ranging from less than 5,000 to more than 40,000 people per square mile over a varied land use pattern.
◆ The City’s population is projected to increase by nearly 18 percent by 2040 for an average annualized increase of slightly less than one percent. ◆ The City has a large inventory of residential and non-residential buildings to protect as identified in this assessment.
◆ The City also has significant economic and other resource values to be protected as identified in this assessment.
◆ The City and Alameda County have a mass emergency notification system to effectively communicate crucial information to the public in a timely manner.

◆ The City’s overall risk for six hazards related to emergency services provided by the Department range from Low to Extreme, as will be summarized in Table 9.

Buildings
The City has more than 51,000 housing units and nearly 7,000 businesses, including offices, professional services, retail sales, restaurants/bars, motels, churches, schools, government facilities, healthcare facilities, and other business types as described in Appendix A.12 Critical Infrastructure / Key Resources
The City has identified 81 critical facilities. A hazard occurrence with significant impact severity affecting one or more of these facilities would likely adversely impact critical public or community services.

Cultural, Economic, Historic, and Natural Resources
Of the nearly 7,000 businesses employing more than 98,000 people in Berkeley, top industries include services and retail sales, followed by manufacturing and construction , as identified in Appendix A of this report.13 Top employers with more than 500 employees include:14 ◆ University of California Berkeley

Special/Unique Resources
Following are special/unique resources to be protected within the City of Berkeley:
◆ University of California Berkeley
◆ Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
➢ The laboratory, in some very controlled settings, does use extremely toxic hazardous materials for research and development. Quantities are typically low, and the lab employs fire and hazardous materials safety personnel to ensure best practice mechanical controls are used to prevent a sustained, dangerous release. However, a catastrophic accident could occur that could spread downwind beyond a parking lot buffer and into other lab buildings, the UC campus, or the City itself. The lab and its fire department contractor, along with the Berkeley Fire Department, are trained and have plans for such a rare occurrence.

2.4.3 Hazard Identification
Citygate utilized prior risk studies where available, fire and non -fire hazards as identified by the CFAI, and agency - and jurisdiction-specific data and information to identify the hazards to be evaluated for this study.

The 2019 City of Berkeley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) identifies the following seven hazards with potential to impact the City:

Page 257 of 362 ends

Page 489 ends

City of Berkeley Fire Department
Standards of Cover Study and Community Risk Assessment
Section 2—Standards of Cover Analysis page 37

1. Earthquake

2. Wildland-Urban Interface Fire

3. Rainfall-Triggered Landslide

4. Floods

5. Tsunami

6. Climate Change

7. Extreme Heat
Although the Department has no legal authority or responsibility to mitigate any of these hazards other than wildland-urban interface fires, it does provide services related to all hazards, including fire suppression, emergency medical services, technical rescue, and hazardous materials response.

The following is a brief overview of building fire and medical emergency risk. Appendix A contains the full risk assessment for all six hazards.

Building Fire Risk
One of the primary hazards in any community is building fire. Building fire risk factors include building size, age, construction type, density, and occupancy; number of stories above ground level; required fire flow ; proximity to other buildings ; built-in fire protection/alarm systems ; available fire suppression water supply ; building fire service capacity ; and fire suppression resource deployment (distribution/concentration), staffing, and response time.

The following figure illustrates the building fire progression timeline and shows that flashover, which is the point at which the entire room erupts into fire after all the combustible objects in that room reach their ignition temperature, can occur as early as three to five minutes from the initial ignition. Human survival in a room after flashover is extremely improbable.

The Department currently provides BLS and ALS pre -hospital ambulance emergency medical services, with operational personnel trained to the EMT or EMT-Paramedic level.

2.4.4 Risk Assessment Summary
Citygate’s evaluation of the values at risk and hazards likely to impact the City yields the following:
◆ The City has a large inventory of residential and non -residential buildings to protect, as identified in this assessment.
◆ The City also has significant economic and other resource values to be protected, as identified in this assessment.
◆ The City utilizes multiple methods to effectively communicate emergency notifications and information to the public in a timely manner.

2.5 CRITICAL TASK TIME MEASURES—WHAT MUST BE DONE OVER WHAT TIME FRAME TO ACHIEVE THE STATED OUTCOME EXPECTATION?
SOC studies use critical task information to determine the number of firefighters needed within a time frame to
achieve desired objectives on fire and emergency medical incidents. The following tables illustrate critical tasks typical of building fire and medical emergency incidents, including the minimum number of personnel required to complete each task. These tables are composites from Citygate clients in urban/suburban departments like Berkeley, with units staffed with three personnel per engine or ladder truck. It is important to understand the following relative to these tables:
◆ It can take considerable time after a task is ordered by command to complete the task and achieve the desired outcome.
◆ Task completion time is usually a function of the number of personnel that are simultaneously available. The fewer firefighters available, the longer some tasks will take to complete. Conversely, with more firefighters available, some tasks are completed concurrently.
◆ Some tasks must be conducted by a minimum of two firefighters to comply with safety regulations. For example, two firefighters are required to search a smoke - filled room for a victim.

2.5.1 Critical Firefighting Tasks
The following table illustrates the critical tasks required to control a typical single-family dwelling fire with nine response units for a total ERF of 22 personnel (four engines, two ladder trucks, one ambulance, one Medic Supervisor, and one Battalion Chief). These tasks are taken from typical fire departments’ operational procedures, which are consistent with the customary findings of other agencies using the SOC process. No conditions exist to override the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) two-in/two-out safety policy, which requires that firefighters enter atmospheres that are immediately dangerous to life and health, such as building fires, in teams of two while two more firefighters are outside and immediately ready to rescue them should trouble arise.

Scenario: Simulated approximately 2, 000-square-foot, two-story, residential fire with unknown rescue situation. Responding companies receive dispatch information typical for a witnessed fire.

Upon arrival, they find approximately 50 percent of the second floor involved in fire.

Grouped together, the duties in the previous table form an ERF, or First Alarm Assignment. These distinct tasks must be performed to effectively achieve the desired outcome; arriving on scene does not stop the emergency from escalating. While firefighters accomplish these tasks, the incident progression clock continues to run.

Fire in a building can double in size during its free-burn period before fire suppression is initiated.

Many studies have shown that a small fire can spread to engulf an entire room in less than 3:00 to 5:00 minutes after free burning has started. Once the room is completely superheated and involved

Page 263 of 362 ends

Page 495 ends

City of Berkeley Fire Department
Standards of Cover Study and Community Risk Assessment
Section 2—Standards of Cover Analysis page 43
in fire (known as flashover), the fire will spread quickly throughout the structure and into the attic and walls. For this reason, it is imperative that fire suppression and search/rescue operations commence before the flashover point occurs if the outcome goal is to keep the fire damage in or near the room of origin. In addition, flashover presents a life -threatening situation to both firefighters and any building occupants.

2.5.2 Critical Medical Emergency Tasks
The Department responds to approximately 7,800 EMS incidents annually, including vehicle accidents, strokes, heart attacks, difficulty breathing, falls, childbirths, and other medical emergencies. For comparison, the following table summarizes the critical tasks required for a cardiac arrest patient.

Table 12—Cardiac Arrest Critical Tasks – Three Engine or Truck Personnel + ALS Ambulance

2.5.3 Critical Task Analysis and Effective Response Force Size The time required to complete the critical tasks necessary to stop the escalation of an emergency (as shown in Table 11 and Table 12) must be compared to outcomes. As shown in nationally published fire service time-versus-temperature tables, a building fire will escalate to the point of flashover after approximately 4:00 to 5:00 minutes of free burning in an enclosed room.
