MISSION STATEMENT

“To provide the highest level of life and property safety through the extension of Fire Safety Education, Fire Control and Emergency Medical Services for the community of Forest Lakes, Arizona.”

VISION STATEMENT

The Fire District faces unique challenges in keeping pace with the changing world in which we live and work. We will continue to build on the traditions and people who brought us to this point. However, we must adapt, be flexible, and be progressive in order to continue to be successful. The following paraphrased statements will provide us with a vision that will enable us to continue to be an exceptional organization.

We will strive to always put the safety of our personnel and equipment uppermost in our priorities.

We will strive to be perceived as good stewards of community property: we will be fiscally responsible, providing good value for the money spent; we will have a plan in place to govern growth; we will establish priorities in line with department needs; and we will always live within our means, always able to pay our bills.

We will strive to build community support and trust through frequent, open and honest communication, being transparent in everything we do.

We will strive to nurture and develop relationships with outside agencies so that we develop cooperative support and expand our ability to respond to emergencies. We will strive to foster a spirit of continuous improvement, achieving excellence in everything we do.

We will strive to be customer friendly: we are service providers, we treat our customers with respect, we have a service mentality—“What can I do to help you?”, and we let customers know that serving them is the most important job we have.

We will strive to be a fire department that is a community focal point for everyday community activities, not just fire department operations and emergency response.
