Citygate is currently performing a Standards of Coverage analysis for the Berkeley Fire Department in the City of Berkeley, California. This analysis will define the appropriate level of service based on a comprehensive study of historical performance; community risk factors; expectations; an evaluation of existing and projected risks, hazards, population growth and aging, topography, density and vertical growth of the build environment; and proposed deployment strategies. This study will consider changing landscape and population density of the City and how that may impact service delivery, response times, and overall capacity to respond to emergent and non-emergent incidents. This study will also help determine if the Department should transition from dual-function (firefighter/paramedic) to single-function (EMT or Paramedic) ambulance service and whether enhanced staffing or deployment of suppression resources are needed in key areas of the City to mitigate increasing density and vertical growth.
