Territory Update

I just wanted to pass on to everyone that we had a very productive meeting last week with the Senior Staff of the Fire Territory. We filled up the white board twice with issues and items that we need to work on in order to make this new department a success.

The good news is that all of the items are either very attainable or minor hurdles to overcome in the great scheme of things. We discussed having the proper focus of providing the very best service for the people that we are sworn to protect, and that focus REALLY puts it all into perspective.

The really great news is that with the talent and abilities of the people of this new department, there isn't really anything that we can not accomplish!

As we begin to bring these departments together, I ask that the number one item on YOUR agenda is to ask "how can we provide the very best service to the entire community that we serve". Putting forth our energy and efforts into making a positive outcome for the those who are having a bad day (and making it better) will really make a difference. Especially when we combine the resources and staff on this new department!

It is an exciting time for all of us with a lot going on. I ask you to share any concerns, comments and ideas with your Battalion Chief or myself.
