What Protection does not include

Hydrants, water flow, building systems, staffing detail, and live dispatch stay outside the score.

Quick answer

Protection uses road distance, drive time, and station type. It excludes hydrants, water supply, building construction, alarms, sprinklers, apparatus, mutual aid, staffing detail beyond type, and live dispatch.

Why it matters

The narrow scope keeps interpretation honest. Strong routed access does not establish water capacity or building performance.

Property decision use

Treat Protection as one signal and gather separate records when a decision depends on excluded conditions.

Check Protection for a specific property

Protection is calculated for a US street address from routed station distance, drive time, and station type. Area inventories provide context but do not receive a Protection number.
