"This third Fire Service Needs Assessment Survey was conducted by NFPA in 2010 and follows two earlier surveys in 2001 and 2005, the latter two conducted under grants from the U.S. Fire Administration. These surveys have been linked from their inception to the USFA grant programs, including the broad spectrum grants set up under Public Law 108-767, Title XXXVI Assistance to Firefighters, and the staffing-focused program called SAFER. The goal has been to identify major gaps in the needs of the U.S. fire service, where needs are identified by comparing what departments have with what existing consensus standards, government regulations, and other nationally recognized guidance documents say they need to have in order to be safe and effective in conducting their many responsibilities. Once the grant programs began, targeted on many of these identified needs, a second major goal became to measure the success of the grant program in reducing these needs.".

Fire service needs are extensive across the board, and in nearly every area of need, the smaller the community protected, the greater the need. Needs have declined to a considerable degree in a number of areas, particularly personal protective and firefighting equipment, two types of resources that received large shares of funding from the Assistance to Firefighters grants (AFG). Declines in needs have been more modest in some other important areas, such as training, which have received much smaller shares of AFG grant funds. In all areas emphasized by the AFG and SAFER grants, there is ample evidence of impact from the grants but also considerable residual needs still to be addressed, even for needs that have seen considerable need reduction in the past decade. There has been little change in the ability of departments, using only local resources, to handle certain types of unusually challenging incidents, including two types of homeland security scenarios (structural collapse and chem/bio agent attack) and two types of large-scale emergency responses (a wildland/urban interface fire and a developing major flood). However, the surveys have indicated improvement in the development of written agreements to help in the use of outside resources. This may provide the strongest base on which to build, namely, the creation of regional and national agreements to allow costs of shared resources to be shared across a much wider area while also providing a protocol for any community to respond to an unusually challenging incident that is very unlikely within the community but not so unlikely within the entire region.

This report presents results based on data from US local fire departments participating in a needs assessment survey. Public Law 106-398, Fire Investment and Response Enhancement (FIRE) Act, Title XVII – Assistance to Firefighters, recognized that America's fire departments provide service and protection with impact far beyond the borders of the communities that support them. In order to provide this service and protection with the effectiveness, speed, and safety that their home communities and the nation as a whole demand, many fire departments will need to increase their resources, in any of several categories. PL 106-398 created a fund to support worthy proposals to address these needs. But PL 106-398 also recognized that our current understanding of the magnitude and nature of fire department needs is not well defined. Furthermore, the rationale for Federal government assistance to meet these needs is also in need of greater definition, given the normal presumption that routine fire protection is a local function, set to meet locally defined goals and supported by local resources.
