Agency official: "40% of the overall score is based off of water"
Summary
An agency official explained that water availability accounts for 40% of a department scoring metric, noting "you can't put out fire without water," and said a score of 10 was used to denote locations more than five miles away.
An agency official told meeting participants that water availability is a major factor in the department's evaluation, stating: "40% of the overall score is based off of water." The official emphasized operational reality, saying "Obviously, we can't put out fire without water." The speaker connected water access to scoring outcomes and described efforts to address that portion of the evaluation.
The official also referenced scoring values in the transcript, noting "A 10 represents anything over 5 miles," and made other metric references that were fragmentary in the record (for example, a phrase rendered as "3.73 is called emergence" in the transcript). Those metric references were not further explained in the provided segments and no formal policy or scoring rubric was included in the excerpt.
