9.3 Key performance indicator results for fire events<br />

Outputs<br />

Outputs are the <strong>services</strong> delivered (while outcomes are the impact of these <strong>services</strong><br />

on the status of an individual or group) (see chapter 1, section 1.5).<br />

Equity and effectiveness — prevention/mitigation<br />

Equity and effectiveness indicators are linked for fire events. The equity dimension<br />

of prevention/mitigation indicators relates to whether specific parts of the<br />

community with special needs or difficulties in accessing <strong>government</strong> <strong>services</strong><br />

benefit from fire <strong>services</strong>’ activities. This chapter currently provides data on<br />

<strong>services</strong> provided in remote locations, but not other special needs groups. The<br />

effectiveness dimension of prevention/mitigation indicators relates to fire service<br />

organisations’ ability to prevent fires and mitigate fire damage.<br />

All jurisdictions undertake a range of fire risk prevention/mitigation activities to<br />

assist households, commercial businesses, and communities prepare for the risk of<br />

fire (table 9A.20). To assist, jurisdictions have implemented bushfire risk<br />

management strategies, community awareness and education programs and smoke<br />

alarm legislation (table 9A.21).<br />

Fire incidents<br />

‘Fire incidents’ is an indicator of <strong>government</strong>s’ objective to manage the risk of fires<br />

by preventing/reducing the number of structure, landscape and other fires (box 9.2).<br />
