Evaluation of Current Conditions The project begins by setting forth the current conditions within the Southington Fire Department. The purpose of this section is two-fold. First, it verifies the accuracy of baseline information along with ESCI’s understanding of the Southington Fire Department’s composition. This provides the foundation from which the Community Risk Assessment – Standards of Cover and Master Plan is developed. Secondly, the overview serves as a reference for the reader who may not be fully familiar with the details of the agency’s operations. Where appropriate, ESCI includes recommended modifications to current observations based on industry standards and best practices.
