<br />Recommendations concerning the size and structure of the Ramsey Fire
<br />Department are hard to make as are comparisons to other communities. What
<br />is well known is that full time departments are generally three to four times
<br />more expensive than paid -on -call departments and that most paid -on -call
<br />departments are able to maintain acceptable ISO Fire Ratings. ISO ratings are
<br />important because they affect the insurance premiums of property owners
<br />within the city.

<br />The Fire Department employs a full -time Chief, a Fire Marshal and one FTE
<br />secretary. In addition, there is a paid -on -call command structure that includes:
<br />two Assistant Chiefs, two Captains, four Lieutenants and a Training Officer.
<br />This group oversees a paid -on -call department of approximately 30 firefighters.
<br />Ramsey's current deployment, with a full time Chief , a Fire Marshal and office
<br />support is a common staffing structure. The volume of administration and
<br />reporting activity required to run even a small suburban department generally
<br />requires, at a minimum, a full time chief. The increased need for fire inspection
<br />services as growth continues can be addressed in a variety of ways including
<br />use of trained paid -on -call personnel, contracting out in peak times or adding
<br />additional staff.
<br />A greater difficulty may be maintaining adequate staff to handle daytime
<br />response. Many suburban departments have found this a difficult issue, and as
<br />the volume of development increases in Ramsey its responsibility to provide
<br />adequate fire services during those hours will likely be stressed. The use of
<br />existing City employees in a dual role, recruitment and partnership programs
<br />with local employers and blended full and paid -on -call departments are
<br />common responses to this problem.
