Your assessment appears after the first nightly NERIS data pull (02:00 UTC). If your department has not yet authorized the Arborlook integration inside NERIS, that step comes first; instructions are on the settings page.
Based on 6,081 incidents and 9,757 unit responses, Feb 2026 to Jul 2026.
Assessment refreshed Aug 13, 2026
Each dimension is scored 0-100 over the trailing six complete months. Green is 90 or better, amber 70-89, red below 70. The overall grade weights response-time readiness most heavily because it determines how much of the paid analytics your data can power.
NERIS's Incident Analysis module is the post-incident review (cause, spread, detection, loss, casualties) filed after the call closes. Adoption is tracked here against your fire and hazmat incidents but is not part of the grade above. Filed analyses power the Fire Cause & Loss tab.

Your subscription has lapsed, but this assessment stays free and keeps updating with each nightly NERIS pull, for as long as Arborlook remains an authorized integration in your NERIS portal. Subscribing restores response analytics, gap analysis, CRR tracking, and the rest of the dashboard.
Restore full analyticsThe component improvements that would move your department-wide 90th percentile the most, computed from your latest reporting month.i
A word on travel time: no gap on this list is a reason to drive faster. Safe arrival comes before any stopwatch, and emergency vehicle crashes remain a leading cause of line-of-duty deaths. Travel time that runs long month after month is a deployment signal; look at station siting, unit placement, closest-unit dispatch, and automatic aid.
Projections are directional: they assume the component improvement carries through to the 90th percentile while other components hold. Ranked by goal gap weighted by affected call share.
July 2026: 6:53 (90th pctile), 0:33 over your goal of 6:20. Focus CRR on your gap tracts to close it.
Your department sets its own goals; the NFPA-aligned defaults below are the starting point until you customize them in the Define gap tracts panel.
Total response time on this dashboard is measured from NERIS call-create timestamp to first-unit on-scene timestamp. It is the dispatch-to-arrival reflex time and includes the three components below. NFPA 1750:2026 (consolidating the former NFPA 1710) sets a 90% attainment objective for each component and for the combined total. Clause numbers below carry over from the legacy NFPA 1710 document.
What "90th percentile" (p90) means for a given period: 90% of your calls were on-scene at or before this time; the slowest 10% took longer. It is the standard NFPA measure because it reflects consistent performance rather than a single best or worst call.
The 6:24 default total response goal reflects 1:04 call processing + 1:20 turnout + 4:00 travel. Some agencies report response time as turnout + travel only (5:20); we use the dispatch-to-arrival convention because it is the wait residents experience and it is what NERIS records.
Mutual aid / auto-aid handling: detailed inclusion rules for incoming and outgoing aid responses are documented separately. See full methodology.
NFPA-aligned defaults: 1:04 call processing, 1:20 fire turnout (1:00 EMS), 4:00 travel. Edit your goals from the Define gap tracts panel below.
NFPA 1750 sets volunteer/combination response targets by population density zone (legacy NFPA 1720 zoning). Each census tract is classified by its density and measured against the appropriate target.
| Demand Zone | Tracts | Target | Meeting | Rate | Avg P90 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Urban >1000/sq mi | 27 | 9:00 | 27 / 27 | 100% (target 90%) | 5:53 |
| Suburban >500/sq mi | 3 | 10:00 | 3 / 3 | 100% (target 80%) | 6:06 |
| Rural >0/sq mi | 5 | 14:00 | 5 / 5 | 100% (target 80%) | 6:24 |
Per-station 90th-percentile times by response component. The columns show whether a slow station's bottleneck is dispatch (call processing), the crew (turnout), or distance (travel). Cells color green / amber / red against your goal for that component (NFPA defaults: 1:04 call processing, 1:20 fire turnout / 1:00 EMS turnout, 4:00 travel). Cells with fewer than 10 calls in the period show a dash.

A gap tract is one where your response time misses your goal and the tract ranks high on fire or EMS risk factors (top 20% by default; you set the threshold). Fire and EMS are tracked separately.
These goals appear in the Component Breakdown card above and the Weekly Intelligence Brief. They do not change which tracts are flagged here; the gap-tract filters only use the combined response goal.

Use this as a starting point, not a final draft. The text below is generated from the public-data and NERIS evidence above. Reviewers see hundreds of applications: the strongest narratives weave in local knowledge that only you have. Add specifics on incidents your crews have run, the names of neighborhoods and partners, mutual-aid arrangements, what you've already tried, why prior efforts didn't fully close the gap, and exactly what this funding will let you do that you can't do today. Revise the prose in your own voice; the data points will carry more weight when they're cited inside your story instead of standing alone.
Tract-level response data is not yet available for this department. Grant narratives are generated once tract-level metrics load.
Each dot is one incident; click for time, type, and first-unit response. Street addresses are intentionally omitted.
Each point is the trailing 7-day 90th-percentile response time ending that day; reference line is your saved response goal.
Cell shading is call count for that day-of-week and hour; darker is busier. Useful for shift staffing conversations.
Six months of your incident records as CSV, ready to open in Excel, Google Sheets, or any analysis tool. This is your data: take it wherever you need it.
Durations are whole seconds; timestamps are UTC in ISO 8601 format. Street addresses are included here (unlike the map above, which omits them by design) because reconciling against your CAD or RMS is the main reason to pull this file. Rebuilt with every nightly data pull. Under our retention policy, NERIS-derived data is deleted 90 days after a trial expires or a subscription is canceled, so export anything you want to keep before then.
This tab lights up when your department starts filing Incident Analysis records in NERIS (the secondary schema released alongside the core incident report; it can be completed a day or two after the call by whoever handles investigations). Once analyses exist, you get fire cause breakdowns, flame spread containment, detection performance, dollar loss, and a prevention playbook targeted at your actual causes.
From analyses your officers filed in NERIS. "Value protected" is estimated pre-incident property and contents value minus estimated loss: the dollar figure your suppression work saved. Casualty and rescue counts come from the analysis casualty sub-modules.
Based on 60 analyses across 12 months. Dollar and casualty figures cover only incidents with a filed analysis; treat them as a floor, not a census.
Cause categories from filed analyses, trailing 12 months. This list is your prevention target set.
Flame spread at the end of the incident. Fires held to the object or room of origin are the clearest signature of working alarms, early detection, and fast response.
70% of analyzed fires were held to the object or room of origin.
Initial detection from filed analyses. A low smoke-alarm share is the single strongest argument for an alarm installation campaign.
