Your job is protecting the community. Not writing a report about it.
PRISM is the most cost-effective way for a fire department to meet its NFPA Community Risk Assessment requirement — built for chiefs who need to understand the risk in their community and prove they can meet the demands placed on them. Verified public data. Every score traceable to its source row. Weeks, not a year.
A six-figure binder. Eight months later. Read once, then shelved.
A firm arrives, runs interviews, leaves, and ships a PDF for $30,000 to $150,000. By the time it lands, call volume has shifted, the apparatus has aged, and nobody in the room can tell you why the number on page 84 is the right one.
The alternative on the market is a dashboard subscription. It gives you screens to look at — not the document your governing body has to adopt.
The same analytical depth, productized. And we stay in the conversation.
Your data, NFPA-aligned methodology, transparent inputs, defensible outputs. Every score drills back to the source row it came from, and every report renders from a verified data artifact — so the document your board adopted can be reproduced exactly.
Practitioner-led
Decades of operational experience across career, combination, and volunteer departments shape every methodology decision.
Traceable by design
No blended numbers. Alarm handling, turnout, travel, and setup are measured separately, because you cannot fix a number you have blended.
Built for the hard question
Every deliverable is designed to survive the moment a governing body asks “how do you know?”
Three reports, one data spine.
The Standard of Cover provably derives from your CRA, and PERFORM provably measures against the standard your board adopted — so the next step never re-platforms.
Community Risk Assessment
Community and demographic profiles, parcel-level building stock, road-network drive-time coverage, ISO creditable-hydrant coverage, integrated EMS risk, and a probability × impact risk score for every planning zone. Print document plus interactive portal.
Standard of Cover
An accreditation-grade Standard of Cover built on NFPA 1750 (2026) — the unified deployment standard that consolidates and supersedes the legacy 1201 / 1710 / 1720 / 1730 standards. Critical-task ERF analysis, fire and EMS service lines, concurrent-call and unit-availability analysis, and an adoption resolution page.
Response performance, measured continuously
Quarterly dashboard and an annual printed compliance report from your CAD data: 90th-percentile alarm handling, turnout, travel, and total response — fire and EMS separately, by planning zone.
All prices are starting points. Final pricing is aligned to the size of your agency or community.
Choose where you are.
Assess
Best for. Departments that have never completed an NFPA 1300 risk assessment, or whose last one is past its five-year refresh under NFPA 1750 §10.3.2.
Outcome. A probability × impact, standards-aligned risk profile of the community you protect.
Defend
Best for. Departments heading into a staffing, station, or apparatus decision that local government will question.
Outcome. A defensible service level, with the methodology and inputs shown in the open.
Sustain
Best for. Departments that want performance measured continuously instead of re-argued every budget season.
Outcome. Proof that the standard your board adopted is being met, quarter after quarter.
NFPA 1300 and NFPA 1750 (2026), applied honestly.
Probability × impact scoring per NFPA 1750 §10.3.6, with four categories — Low, Moderate, High, and Critical. Response capability modeled on the real road network. Fire and EMS treated as one integrated model. Refreshed every five years. And honest data discipline: when a source cannot be verified, PRISM labels the affected scores provisional and provides the data request to fix it.
Every output is traceable to its input.
Not sure which one you need? Bring the question.
Bring the question. We will bring the data, the methodology, and a plain answer your local government will accept.
