Accreditation

The Ridge Road Fire District is the only municipal department in New York State to be accredited by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International, CFAI. The District first achieved accreditation in 2005, and again in 2010, 2015, and 2020. The district is one of only 259 accredited agencies across the globe.

The CFAI Accreditation process is a self assessment module, that promotes continuous quality  improvement through the use of peer- review, analytic data and consensus national standards.
According to CFAI, Accreditation is an international recognition of achievement. It shows to your community that your agency is performing to industry best practices and is holding itself accountable through an external peer review.

The Accreditation model includes a comprehensive range of performance evaluation measures across all aspects of the district:

                   Assessment and Planning                              Governance and Administration

                   Essential Resources                                          Human Resources

                   External Systems Relations                            Physical Resources

                   Financial Resources                                          Programs

                   Goals and Objectives                                         Training and Competency 

 

Each category includes performance indicators that define the desired level of performance as well as the process to evaluate and document the results. The performance measure are based upon consensus national industry standards such as National Fire Protection Industry, NFPA.

Under the  Programs heading, the district evaluates each of the service areas it provides or the responses we make:

  • Community Risk Reduction
  • Public Education and Community Outreach
  • Fire Investigation
  • Domestic Preparedness
  • Fire Suppression
  • Emergency Medical Services
  • Technical Rescue
  • Hazardous Materials Response
