Title
Receive presentation regarding the Mesquite Fire Department’s achievement in becoming a Texas Fire Chiefs Association Best Practices Recognized Department.
Body
The Texas Fire Chiefs Association (TFCA) has developed a Best Practices program to encourage fire departments in Texas to seek continual improvement in their services to their local community. There are twelve chapters which define best practices in the typical service areas provided by a fire department. The TFCA worked closely with progressive fire officers throughout Texas to create a program that defines a pathway to organizational excellence which ultimately enhances firefighter safety, long-term planning, standard operating guidelines, deployment analysis, risk management and other administrative functions.
The TFCA Best Practices program provides a pathway for a fire department to push its level of service to a status of excellence that is validated by a team of independent experts. This designation will demonstrate to customers of these organizations that their fire department is among the very best in the Texas fire service.
