Keeping It Simple

 

A simple fire risk assessment is a practical information gathering application intended to create a community fire profile. This will aid in identifying appropriate programs or activities that can be implemented to effectively address the community’s fire safety needs, as well as target hazards that require more strategic assessment.

This simple risk assessment is designed to serve the needs of smaller communities and departments, and should be used as a first step (basic foundation) for larger departments that face more complex fire safety challenges within their communities.

 

The simple community risk assessment is made up of the following components:

  • Demographic profile
  • Building profiles
  • Fire loss profiles
  • Information evaluation
  • Priority setting for risk
  • Implementing solutions

 

The information gathered through this simple risk assessment is useful in developing your purpose for the creation of the Community Fire Safety Coalition.
