Are you doing enough for your community?

According to the International Association of Fire Chief, community engagement is a crucial component of success for a fire department. Whether we like it or not, the size of our funding share depends, at least partially, on community support. Indeed, if community support is the engine that drives the success of our fire departments, then community engagement is the fuel for that engine.

“Your community is the engine of your fire department’s success!”

There are many ways fire service leaders can engage communities, through events, educational, social media and communication exchange.
