Simply put, if you are interested in reducing duplication of service and increasing efficiencies in local government Fire Service, this is the book for you. Whether you are a Fire Chief, City Manager, County Executive Officer, Labor Union President, Elected-Official or any other servant of the people, you will benefit from this book. Fire Service veteran and retired Fire Chief Mike Kraus explains his real-life experience in merging three separate fire agencies into one. In the book, Kraus lays out a logical process to follow, from initially evaluating whether the Fire Regionalization concept will work in your situation, to evaluating the final product. Chief Kraus discusses critical areas related to Fire Regionalization such as funding, governance, human resources, guiding documents, strategic planning, and many, many more. He also discusses how to gain support from elected-officials and other stakeholders, as well as deciding what degree of Fire Regionalization may fit your organization. Most importantly and from his own personal experience, Kraus admits his mistakes and shares a list of specific areas to watch out for!While Chief Kraus's knowledge and experience is focused on the Fire Service, the model and process of the regionalization concept may be applied to any local government functional area that would benefit from "out-of-the-box" thinking that will challenge the status quo!
