Abstract

Legislation, regulation and security codes but also the activities of the fire department contribute to the reduction of the number of fires and the associated damage. But all these instruments are expensive. The CIRANO was contracted to perform an exploratory economic analysis of the activities of the fire department in Montreal. On-going research shows that the existence of a fire department present considerable potential (in terms of effectiveness and impacts). Thus the CIRANO’s research project regroups all the elements necessary to make it possible to adequately structure a future reflection concerning : (1) the justification of certain investments and the sharing of costs associated; (2) public decisions of allowance of the resources for the fire protection organizations; (3) the evaluation of the relevance to set up partnerships (for example : with the insurers or other speakers in emergency management). To conclude, this report proposes a summary examination of the principal options of financing at the disposal of the SSIM, starting from an economic reflection and reality lived in other jurisdictions, overlaid on the analysis cost benefits developed in the preceding chapters.

No date is fixed to share the complete version of the document.

La législation, la réglementation et les codes de sécurité mais aussi les activités des services d'incendie contribuent à la réduction du nombre d'incendies et des dommages associés. Mais ces mesures sont coûteuses. Le mandat du CIRANO consiste à effectuer une étude exploratoire concernant l’analyse économique des activités du Service de sécurité incendie de Montréal. Les recherches en cours montrent que l’existence d’un service de sécurité incendie présente des potentialités considérables (en termes d’efficacité et d’impacts). Le projet de recherche du CIRANO regroupe donc l’ensemble des éléments nécessaires pour permettre de bien structurer une réflexion future concernant (1) la justification de certains investissements et le partage des coûts associés ; (2) les décisions publiques d'allocation des ressources pour les services d'incendie ; (3) l’évaluation de la pertinence de mettre en place des partenariats (par exemple avec les assureurs ou avec d'autres intervenants en mesures d'urgence). Pour conclure, ce rapport propose un examen sommaire des principales options de financement à la disposition du SSIM, à partir d’une réflexion économique et de la réalité vécue dans d’autres juridictions, superposées à l’analyse coûts-bénéfices développée dans les chapitres précédents.
