I don't think NFPA makes this recommendation any longer, due to political pressure from Fire Administrations trying to get by on the cheap. That's my guess.
The NFPA used to recommend .5 (1/2) a firefighter on duty per 1000 population and 1.875 firefighters on a department per 1000 population with 3 platoon kelly shifts (50.3 hrs week).
