A method for indirect assessment of the effectiveness of the use of internal and external checks of the readiness of units of the State Fire Service to fulfill the tasks of responding to calls is proposed. The potential for efficiency gains is assessed by reducing various types of damage through improved response rates. The initial data for the assessment are statistical data on the temporal characteristics of the response of fire departments to calls, which are approximated by a gamma distribution. The estimation takes into account the regression dependences of damage on response indicators.

Keywords: control, damage, response time, gamma distribution, quantile, efficiency improvement potential
