The Fire Services Outcomes Framework Progress Report is prepared and published in accordance with the Fire Services Implementation Monitor’s (FSIM) functions under section 141 of the Fire Rescue Victoria Act 1958 (Vic). It includes results and commentary from the FSIM on select results from the Country Fire Authority’s (CFA) and Fire Rescue Victoria’s (FRV) respective outcomes frameworks for the third quarter of the 2024-25 financial year.
FSIM publishes these quarterly reports at Fire Services Implementation Monitor publications.
In this quarter, the CFA reported on 24 indicators (see Appendix A) and FRV reported on 25 measures (see Appendix B).
CFA indicators and FRV measures short-listed for reporting
The FSIM has reported on select results based on the following criteria:
Demonstrates a notable achievement
- CFA: Increase in percentage of structure fires contained to room of origin (indicator 2.2.1).
- CFA: Road accident rescue response times meeting benchmark (indicator 2.4.1).
- FRV: Percentage of response to emergency medical response (EMR) within 9.2 minutes (target 90%) (measure 2.1.3a).
Continuing off-track trend over repeated quarters
- FRV: Percentage of response to structure fire incidents within 7.7 minutes (target 90%) (measure 2.1.3a).
Significant change from the previous quarter (positive or negative change outcome)
- CFA: A decrease in workplace injuries (volunteer operational activity) (indicator 3.1.2) – the quarter 3 (Q3) result demonstrated a significant increase against the quarter 2 (Q2) result for this indicator, which reflects a negative change outcome. Note that for this indicator, the CFA deems a lower result as desirable.
- CFA: Increase delivery of operational training to CFA volunteers (indicator 3.4.7) – the Q3 result demonstrated a significant decrease against the Q2 result for this indicator, which reflects a negative change outcome. Note that for this indicator, the CFA deems a higher result as desirable.
- FRV: Number of people engaged by Fire Equipment Services (FES) (measure 1.3.2) – the Q3 result demonstrated a significant decrease against the Q2 result for this measure, which reflects a negative change outcome.
- FRV: Total operational fleet availability (measure 2.1.3b) – the Q3 result demonstrated a decrease against the Q2 result for this measure, which reflects a negative change outcome
