Our Commitment to Community Risk Reduction

According to the National Fire Academy (2003), an effective community risk reduction program is one that integrates emergency response, fire code enforcement, fire and life safety education, public information and risk related economic incentives. This process is intrinsic in identifying risks, reducing fire deaths, injuries and property losses within the community.
