Goals and Objectives

                                                                             14 Fire-EMS Department


               Program Trends
                   The level of activity historically trends into four main areas:  Emergency Operations,  Training,
                   Routine Activities,  and Public Risk Awareness Activities.
                   Personnel continue to take advantage of joint training exercises and contracts,  which
                   reduces cost and increases familiarity with personnel and equipment of our mutual aid
                   agencies.
                   Specialized training targets firefighter/ paramedic development that enhances our current
                   services through state certification levels.
                   Ongoing efforts to increase public involvement through education,  relationship
                   development,  and services.
                   Daily activities and work details are the most time-consuming activities due to their nature.
                   These activities are necessary to maintain the proper condition and operation of the
                   equipment.

               2017- 2018 Highlights
