Introduction to Fire Accreditation Analysis

Fire Accreditation Analysis can be used to complete spatial analysis workflows and generate maps based on the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) Accreditation Model Information Technology Specifications.

The CFAI and the Center for Public Safety Excellence works with fire agencies around the world to encourage continuous improvement and promote standards of excellence. This accreditation process demonstrates that a fire agency is committed to continuous improvement, serving the community efficiently, and providing a fair and safe work environment for all personnel. Accredited fire agencies submit an annual compliance report that documents self-improvement efforts. After accreditation has been granted, fire agencies are required to submit annual performance appraisals and risk assessments. Fire Accreditation Analysis is typically implemented by fire departments, agencies, and districts that want to enhance hazard risk analysis and measure service delivery over time.

The Fire Accreditation Analysis solution delivers a set of capabilities that help fire agencies complete a standard set of spatial analysis workflows and generate a series of maps that conform with the spatial requirements included in the CFAI Accreditation Model Information Technology Specifications.
