The Strategic Plan is a key foundational document that serves as a blueprint to build and continuously improve our organization. It is designed to focus our attention and guide our decision making as we continue to transform into a reference agency of exceptional quality and best industry practices. This plan is the result of a collaborative effort between internal and external stakeholders and commences where the previous strategic plan concluded.  In addition, the plan is updated annually with an addendum that serves as a “diagnostic check” in gauging the department's performance and depicts the progress made the past year towards completing the strategic priorities and initiatives.

 

The Standards of Cover (SOC) establishes written policies and procedures that define the distribution, concentration and deployment of fixed and mobile resources. The fundamental purpose of an SOC analysis is to provide a rational and systematic way of evaluating the emergency and non-emergency services provided by SCFR. This study provides a broad set of long-range applications including the identification of fire and non-fire risks,  performance benchmarking, land use planning, staffing patterns, and supporting strategic planning and policy development relative to resources procurement and allocation.
