D. NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 1710, Standard on Organization and Deployment for Career Fire Departments; (705) Fire Chief Montez explained NFPA 1710 is a controversial standard defeated in 1992 and being proposed at this time. The issue contained sets a standard defining minimum apparatus staffing. This has historically been fought by Fire Departments and cities across the country who do not wish to lose the flexibility, control and appropriateness of determining the most proper level of response for the department and community they serve. The Fire Company definition is the most troubling aspect of NFPA 1710. Within that requirement, it states that the companies shall be staffed with a minimum of four on- duty personnel. He stated that the vote would go before the NFPA membership on May 16, 2001. He further stated the various organizations that are opposing the proposal.
