<br />Saint Cloud Fire Department, MN <br /> <br />Fire Protection Master Plan- Executive Summary Document <br /> <br />This strategy has the potential of achieving the greatest effectiveness for an on-call force, if such a <br />force is to be retained by the City of Saint Cloud. It provides the ability for on-call responders to <br />supplement on-duty staff throughout the entire city and provides a significant benefit in the recruitment <br />of on-call personnel. No longer would the geographical criteria for on-call personnel be limited to <br />proximity of two specific stations, but rather recruitment could occur city-wide. On-call responders <br />would be assigned to the station in closest proximity to their residence and/or place of employment. <br /> <br />The benefit for career personnel is the potential for increasing on-duty strength through the <br />assignment of on-call responders to part-time duty shifts. Even if this were to occur only a portion of <br />the time, the percentage of time a unit responds with four firefighters on board rather than three would <br />increase significantly. <br /> <br />The fallowing figure demonstrates at least an example of the organizational structure, as it might exist, <br />under this strategy2. <br /> <br />2 All individual administrative and support positions are not shown. Twelve such positions are called for in the long-term <br />staffing strategy. <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br />
