The survey is a <br /> standard instrument used by ESCI to gauge the internal dynamics and environment of the fire <br /> department, which helps tailor the process to the organization once the planning workshop begins. The , <br /> following are the results of the survey instrument displayed graphically. <br /> Figure 6: Respondent Demography <br /> Demographic Element Percent of Respondents <br /> Total Years of Experience(paid and volunteer)in the Fire Service. <br /> Three to ten years 8% <br /> Ten to twenty years 43.2% <br /> More than twenty years 48.8% <br /> Total Years of Service at EFD <br /> Three to ten years 15.9% <br /> Ten to twenty years 50% <br /> More than twenty years 34.1% <br /> Current Position <br /> Support Staff 9.8% <br /> Company Officer 24.6% <br /> Line Staff 58.2% <br /> Command Staff 7.4% <br /> Of the 177 personnel who make up the EFD, 128 responded to the survey, which is 72.3% of the ' <br /> organization. The distribution of the respondents indicates that the vast majority, 82.8%, are currently <br /> assigned to engine companies, ladder companies, and medic units providing direct emergency response ' <br /> service to the community. The experience and tenure of those responding is significant, indicating an <br /> older, established fire department with little turnover. It also indicates a very low growth rate over the ' <br /> last decade. <br /> Page 10 <br /> 1 <br />
