What are the benefits to the Fire Department?
Billing Brings Funds NOW!
Fire departments across the country are dealing with a lack of funding. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued the results of a national study performed by a broad coalition in the scientific, fire fighting and public safety communities. The study results show that four-person crews were able to complete 22 essential fire fighting and rescue tasks in a typical residential structure 30 percent faster than two-person crews and 25 percent faster than three-person crews.
By billing to recover the costs to mitigate an emergency incident, a fire department will recoup a portion of their expenses so they will not only be able to maintain their department's budget, but also help with the following:
