INC NEWS - Durham Fire Dept. Seeks Input on Strategic Plan

[Pat Carstensen]

I think a very important part of any fire-department strategic plan (at least one that isn't essentially navel-gazing) is to look at how we relate to surrounding fire departments.  That is, as / if Durham annexes more territory, what happens to investments that have been made by the volunteer fire departments?  Might we need to improve communications with neighboring professional (Chapel Hill, Raleigh, etc) departments?  Etc.

I can't attend the forum and the announcement doesn't really say how to make comments if you can't attend.

Regards, Pat Carstensen
