In FY2020, the City hit its 8-minute, 30-second response time goal about 76.25 percent of the time. “Ideally, once getting the call at the firehouse, we should be en route within two minutes.” The goal for travel time is five minutes. ![]() From the time the call comes into dispatch, he said it should go to the Fire Department within a minute and 30 seconds. “Our response time goal is eight (8) minutes and 30 seconds,” said Chief Campbell.

MCFRS has embraced the Six Sigma initiative, a business model to increase performance, employee morale and quality of products and services. “So nationally and in the state of Texas,” he said, “your department is known for excellence, honor and service to all as an ISO Class 1 Fire Department.” Nationally, 39,378 fire departments are ISO rated, and of that number, only 393 cities have an ISO 1 rating. That means we are in the top 3 percent,” said Chief Campbell. “Out of 2,859 cities in Texas with an ISO rating, only 69 have an ISO Class 1 rating. A rating of 10 means the department did not meet the ISO’s minimum requirements. ISO rates fire departments on various items such as staffing levels, training, water supply, fire hydrants, proximity of the firehouse, etc. “We’ve been seeing that trend throughout COVID-19.”Ĭhief Campbell was proud to report that the department’s Insurance Service Office Rating rose from a lower rating to an ISO 1 in 2016, which is the best possible rating. “We know that when more people are at home, we have less fires,” he said. Chief Campbell attributes the decrease in incidents to the COVID-19 pandemic. Other incidents include false alarms, hazardous conditions, non-emergency service calls, good intent and weather-related calls, biohazard scares and citizen complaints. Fire and other incidents were down, to 170 fires from 228 in FY2019 and to 2,254 other incidents from 2,406. Calls requiring emergency medical services (EMS) were up, to 4,418 from 4,299 in FY2019. The department received fewer calls in FY2020, down to 6,842 from 6,933 in FY2019. “Often times, people don’t know who to call, but they can always call the fire department and we will help them.” ![]() “We really enjoy serving the citizens of Missouri City,” said Chief Campbell.
