Fire master plan consultant

On September 18th, 2006, Emergency Services Consulting, Inc. was chosen by the Hernando County Audit Services Planning and Priorities Committee as the consultant for the countywide fire master plan study. This company's home base is Wilsonville, Oregon, with their eastern regional office located in Chesterland, Ohio. Apparently the Audit Services Planning and Priorities Committee was looking for a short term fix of the flat rate/ MSBU versus the Ad Valorem MSTU rate system in our county and Emergency Services Consulting, Inc. indicated they could assist in achieving these goals. The first step for this firm is to begin gathering information at the individual fire departments. Hopefully, this firm will include the public on their fact finding missions, as they write a countywide fire master plan, at the direction of Karen Nicolai.
