The overall objective of any fire department is to provide
the community with the optimum level
of protection from fire and other related public safety
hazards while, at the same time, ensuring an appropriate level
of health and safety for firefighters. Research to date has
concluded that a variety of factors impact on a fire
department's capacity to fulfill this objective, all of which
must be considered when determining how the required resources
should be deployed.
The Comprehensive Fire Safety Effectiveness Model is composed of
seven sub-models.
