Providing emergency and fire protection services for your community may be one of the more complicated—and expensive—services your township provides. This class can help board members and fire officials get a handle on financial emergencies in your township fire department. We’ll examine funding and cost recovery, provide insights into joint authorities and review must haves for your fire ordinance. You’ll walk away armed with a better understanding of the legalities and financials that can help turn down the heat on some of the hot issues facing your fire department.
