For fire service departments seeking to bring their organizations to the next level.

Let our expert team show you the way. Part of this process requires a Needs Assessment in which departments can recognize their strengths and identify areas in need of development.

Consulting staff will assist fire service department clients in developing a strategic plan that meets the needs of internal and external stakeholders within the community.

Consultant work will collaborate with the fire service department's administration and membership on best prioritizing development areas with concrete steps to reach their organization's goals more efficiently.

The development of long-term goals and objectives is a necessity for budgets that are increasingly shrinking.  It is imperative for fire service departments to have a clear path forward. Our consultants will work collaboratively and focus on the development of:

• Mission Statement
• Needs Assessment
• Goals and Objectives
• Plans for the Future
• Areas Needing Improvement
• Customer Needs
• Create Strategies for Implementing the Plan
• Create Strategic Plan Tracking Document

In addition to the classical plan, we also explore:

• GIS Study for appropriate coverage
• ISO Rating
• Community Risk Reduction (Lower insurance rates!)
• Firefighter Health & Wellness

Highest quality tests, updated to current NFPA standards, and current reference manuals.

Leave the hard work of test construction and scoring to our consultants. We build and strengthen your NFPA based test banks and align them to the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) and Pro Board correlation sheets.

This provides your organization with a verified and reliable test bank that passes the rigors of third-party initial and reaccreditation.

And, we can securely deliver and administer exams anywhere in the world, responsive to your organizational needs.  

Courses are tailored to either traditional learning environments or e-learning modalities.

This service is available for fire departments seeking to begin an internal training program or for fire service departments with an established training program looking for more innovative and cutting-edge classes. 

We develop Courses tailored to either traditional learning environments or the increasing demand for e-learning modalities.

Strategies to expand member enrollment, increase involvement and maximize longevity.

We actively work with fire departments seeking strategies to expand member enrollment, increase member involvement and maximize member longevity. It has never been more important for fire organizations to focus on this issue because research indicates that recruitment is diminishing.

Our team brings expert knowledge and experience into this arena. To best understand your department, our consultants will develop a survey and needs assessment tool to gauge current members' morale and satisfaction level. In addition, we will work closely with internal and external stakeholders to develop strategies to recruit new members into your department.

Our consultants will also develop long-term retention strategies designed to keep members for the long term. Finally, we advise the secrets to develop a healthy fire service organization based on reliable and valid research.

This service will outline for applicants what to expect during this process, how to gather required materials and to ensure maximum compliance to accreditation criteria.

For Fire Departments looking to distinguish their candidacy for state, federal, and privately funded grants.

Grant writing is a daunting task in which candidates must detail required information, describe why the organization is most deserving of funding, and clearly express their vision for the usage of funding.  This service is available for fire departments looking to augment and distinguish their candidacy for state, federal, and/or privately funded grant opportunities.

These experts have a proven track record of success in writing AFG and SAFER grants for state and local fire departments. We will work with your department to determine the exact scope of the grant by meeting internal and external stakeholders.

Our consultants will conduct extensive research on your department and community. We will also provide in-depth narratives and best available budget figures based on the most current costs of personnel and/or equipment.

Be ready for the challenges facing fire departments' organizational stability and succession planning.

Ensuring that current and future officers are ready for the many challenges facing fire departments is essential for organizational stability and succession planning. Having your established leadership teams work cohesively is equally critical to the health of the organization.

Using state-of-the-art tools to evaluate personnel personality profiles, our consultants will work with your department to improve communication, develop core values, error management, crew resource management, and situational awareness strategies.
