Fire Department Strategic Planning: Creating Future Excellence

Author: Mark Wallac

The second edition of Fire Department Strategic Planning: Creating Future Excellence by Mark Wallace provides application and implementation details for the Fire Department Strategic Planning Model. This edition is designed to be consistent with the critical elements of the accreditation process and its associated Accreditation Self-Assessment Manual. With the advancement of strategic planning among fire service agencies since 1998, the publishing date of the first edition, the second edition focuses more on maximizing the impact and keeping the department's current strategic plan up to date. The "how-to approach" of the first edition remains for those first-time strategic planners.
