NFIRS 5 Alive now includes a sophisticated deployment compliance report designed to measure NFPA 1710 calculations in one fast and simple operation.
NFIRS 5 transaction data does not distinguish between the time a call for assistance is received and the time the fire department is first notified. This makes measuring call processing time impossible. Further, NFIRS 5 transactions fail to communicate the time an apparatus begins its response to an emergency. This makes it impossible to measure turnout time and travel time.
Therefore, before running the 1710 Compliance summary you should already have imported CAD data containing this information.
You may not have to secure raw CAD data to secure the missing time field data. If "Call Time" and "Enroute Time" is present in your RMS system you may create a standard ASCII (text) export from your RMS system and feed it into NFIRS 5 Alive. Each row should represent the response of one apparatus to an incident. Use a separate row for each apparatus response. Include the following field columns; Incident Number, Call Received Date, Call Received Time, Dispatch Date, Dispatch Time, Enroute Date, Enroute Time. Set-up your CAD import and the required fields will be merged into your existing Incident and Apparatus records.
Once the required CAD data is on board simply press the NFPA 1710 Summary button to generate a report similar to the following:
