Performance measures that indicate the success of Emergency Operations are civilian and firefighter casualties, property loss, economic impact saved, and response time. Injury rates among civilians and firefighters describe our success in minimizing the life safety risks to both our 656

City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget communities and our responders. Property loss describes the negative impact of fires, hazardous materials, and other critical emergencies, while economic impact saved understands the loss averted by the actions of our responders and the resulting benefit to the local economy. Arriving quickly at an incident is an effective way to begin preventing the spread of fire, mitigating the hazardous material leak, or other critical emergencies, such as providing critical medical interventions. PF&R strives to meet the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1710 standards as a metric for understanding response time. PF&R is currently focused on finding service efficiencies. CHAT units servicing the low-acuity health calls, thereby freeing an emergency response unit for emergency fire, rescue, and EMS calls, cannot be overstated in their effect towards greater efficiency in the bureau. The bureau, in consultation with Multnomah County, is continually analyzing incident data to determine which calls are better suited for an alternate response. Services 9-1-1 emergency response; paramedic response to high-acuity medical incidents; structure fire suppression; vehicle extrication; hazardous material response; high-angle rope rescue; trench rescue; urban search and rescue; mass casualty incidence response; wildland fire response; land-based marine response; water-based marine response; water rescue; Medic support for RRT and SERT (PPB functions); incident management; event response planning and coverage. Equity Impacts PF&R provides 24/7 all-hazard services from a network of 31 neighborhood stations strategically located throughout the city. PF&R strives to have equitable response times across the city, with no bias regarding the racial makeup of neighborhoods, average income, or population density. Call volume and call type influence the distribution of available response resources where there is flexibility to adjust. To this end, our established network of two-person Rescue units and CHAT units provide service in East Portland and serve communities where racial, income, and educational disparities are highest, and where health literacy and access to services are lowest. PF&R's base budget supports translation, interpretation, and needed ADA accommodations, primarily in public education and outreach. The budget includes resources for translation and interpretation as needed by the emergency operations teams; each apparatus has an attached iPad that allows users to access on demand translators and interpreters when required during emergency calls. Changes to Program There are no noted changes to this program area for FY 2026-27. 657
