Present the Marion County Fire Rescue Five-Year Operational Plan Closeout
Body
INITIATOR: DEPARTMENT:
James Banta, Fire Chief Fire Rescue
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
In May 2018, Marion County Fire Rescue (MCFR) initiated the development of a master plan. Over several months, a comprehensive internal and external data driven review of MCFR’s operations, service delivery, and performance metrics was conducted. Building on this foundation, MCFR senior staff, with significant input from internal planning processes and stakeholder engagement, created a detailed operational strategic plan. This five-year plan focused on addressing critical issues identified by the fire chief, aiming to improve service delivery, leadership consistency, and financial stability.
As we present the closeout of this five-year operational plan to the Board of County Commissioners, we highlight the achievements and lessons learned throughout this period. Significant strides were made in stabilizing service delivery, bolstering staffing levels, and improving response capacity, all while aligning with the needs of a rapidly growing population. The plan has not only helped MCFR meet its current challenges but has also laid a solid foundation for future growth, ensuring that the department continues to meet and exceed the expectations of Marion County’s residents.
