6/30/2015 <br /> Emergency Communications Section <br /> • Time is critical in allowing firefighters to attack <br /> a fire, the revised schedule places greater <br /> value on a communication center's ability to <br /> answer and process emergency calls in <br /> timeframes specified by the NFPA. ISO also <br /> eliminated evaluation of phone lines and <br /> phone listings; instead, will consider enhanced <br /> 911, wireless technology, VoIP, CAD, and GIS <br /> capabilities. <br /> Water Supply Section <br /> • The FSRS now includes specific credit for <br /> water utilities, or fire departments that <br /> enhance their understanding of a water <br /> system through periodic fire hydrant flow <br /> testing meeting NFPA and AWWA standards. <br /> The revised schedule also includes additional <br /> credit for flow through a single hydrant from a <br /> maximum of 1,000 gpm to 1,500 gpm, in <br /> accordance with AWWA. <br /> 1 Q 12 <br />
