SUPPORT BROOKLINE FIREFIGHTERS

83% of buildings are medium-hazard in Brookline.

Stations 4 and 6 meets NFPA 1710's criteria for urban (1,000 - 2,999 persons per square mile). 

Stations 1, 5, and 7 meets NFPA 1710's criteria for dense urban (+3,000 persons per square mile). 

NFPA 1710 requires a minimum of 24 fire fighters and 1 incident commander and 1 aide to arrive on the scene of a medium-hazard structure fire within 8 minutes of travel to 90% of incidents.

Even with our current response we only accomplish this 1% of the time.
