FY25 Proposed Budget

Upcoming Challenges:

• Desire to position our department in a proactive stance by dedicated outreach to strive for risk reduction for our citizens. • Obtaining a long-term funding stream for programs that benefit at-risk populations. This includes, but is not limited to, free smoke alarms, residential Knox Boxes for elderly or infirmed, and other programs that promote safety. • The Fire Marshal is the only position in the department dedicated to fire prevention. All other responsibilities of this division are completed as ancillary duties from other staff resulting in lowering of inspection frequency (from 2 to every 3 years).
