Every decision a Fire Chief makes is temporary.


The next Mayor, City Manager or Chief can change them.


Whether it is about policy, procedure, personnel, tactics, strategy, or the budget, none of the Chief’s decisions are permanent; except one.


Decisions made about the design and functionality of a firehouse are permanent. You only get one chance on this one.


You need to get it right.
