In response to a request from our membership, the BCFTOA and the FCABC have completed work on an "Essential Benchmarks" document for the fire service in British Columbia. The purpose of this project was to identify those communications that must be captured on an incident, as well as, to ensure a consistent definition of these terms. It is our hope that these benchmarks will be adopted by the fire service and training academies in the province to ensure that all new training includes this standard.
