Creating a “People First” District

A “people first” Fire District places the service and protection of our residents and property as their highest priority, period. It also values, supports, and empowers all of the dedicated firefighters and staff out there every day doing the job for us - paid and volunteer.

I believe our Fire District is in a position to rise to this challenge by creating a “people first” organization guided by strong strategic planning.

A “people first” Fire District will:

  • Ensure decisions, budgets, policies, procedures, and service levels are always viewed through the lens of what is best for our residents.
  • Treat our residents and district staff with respect and dignity.
  • Formalize Community Risk Reduction (CRR) efforts to include: partnering with the American Red Cross smoke alarm program; senior citizen fall prevention; public fire safety education; and robust Firewise activities to reduce our wildfire risk together.
  • Recruit, train, and retain the best firefighters to serve our residents – volunteer and paid.
  • Facilitate pathways to encourage local talent to enter the fire service by partnering with schools, colleges, and civic groups.
  • Empower Fire District staff to learn, grow and become leaders in the department.
  • Create an environment of teamwork that makes Fire District #7 the place people want to live, work and volunteer!
