Two methods recommended for productivity measurements of prevention activities were evaluated. The Urban Institute and National Fire Protection Association's method appears to be the most promising of the two. Multiple measures allowing for variables of inspection frequency, types and hazard of occupancy, provided some level of validity but it failed in its reliability. Estimates of unreported fires and the subjectivity of assessing preventability, relegate this method to an ineffective collection of factual data and guesses. The "Municipal Fire Service Workbook", evaluates for prevention effectiveness and efficiency together. This is a measure of negative productivity and is unacceptable considering the measurement objectives previously stated.

Fire service managers in the City of Rockford, Illinois were concerned with the effectiveness of reporting methods of work performed by fire department employees. Historical reporting relied upon the count of number of calls made as a key measure of work performed. The city's financial accounting system reported work performance according to the assigned station of companies or personnel. The accounting system relied only on the number of calls as a measure of performance. Two problems are evident from the reporting and accounting methods used. First, fire department employees perform many more tasks than simply responding on calls. Secondly, there is a wide variance in the amount of work performed or services delivered on individual calls. Recommendations were developed to use standardized methods to report various types of tasks performed. These methods should not only report the quantity of tasks performed but also a measure of the resources (i.e. time or operating costs). The primary accounting of costs should be redefined to recognize the nature of service performed rather than the location of a fire station. Station location could be a secondary accounting measure. Primary measures should include items like fire suppression, emergency medical service, public fire education, fire prevention, and rescue. [STAR#: 3565]

This assessment of the technical quality and relevance of the programs of the Measurement and Standards Laboratories of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is the work of the 165 members of the National Research Council's (NRC's) Board on Assessment of NIST Programs and its panels. These individuals were chosen by the NRC for their technical expertise, their practical experience in running research programs, and their knowledge of industry's needs in basic measurements and standards. This assessment addresses the following: The technical merit of the laboratory programs relative to the state of the art worldwide; The effectiveness with which the laboratory programs are carried out and the results disseminated to their customers; The relevance of the laboratory programs to the needs of their customers; and The ability of the laboratories' facilities, equipment, and human resources to enable the laboratories to fulfill their mission and meet their customers' needs.

From the author: This 3rd edition is about organized common sense in the fire service. Section One provides support to fire departments that already have a strategic plan and just need to update and revise their existing plan. I have found over my 30 years of consulting with fire department’s that they want to accomplish their next iteration of their strategic plan as rapidly as possible. Section Two provides a detailed “How-to” guide to help a fire department create its first strategic plan. Section Two is divided into four parts: (1) Understanding the Department, (2) Understanding the Situation, (3) Understanding the Strategic Issues Facing the Department, and (4) Creating Organizational Change. A new chapter (Chapter 20) provides assistance to those departments having challenges with their strategic plan and obtaining the desired outcomes/results. It adds a new troubleshooting process for those departments having challenges to create an effective and successful strategic plan. The book is designed to be effective as a manual to develop an individual fire department’s strategic plan as well as a textbook for use in upper division college/university courses or as a text for post-graduate courses.
