• Comparative subject area staffing analysis to similar type and size communities in <br />Massachusetts <br />• Development and analysis of a confidential, on -line survey to receive the concerns, <br />opinions, and ideas of fire department members <br />• Tours of the town to evaluate fire risk <br />The recommendations that have been identified in this report are based on nationally <br />recognized standards and are consistent with national and regional best practices for fire and <br />EMS agencies. However, since every community has unique characteristics, challenges, and <br />resource limitations, our recommendations are specifically designed to address the immediate <br />and long -term needs of the Town of Lexington. <br />The MRI study team would like to thank the members of the board of selectmen, the town <br />manager, assistant town manager, the project study committee, the interim fire chief, the men <br />and women of the Lexington Fire Department, and the key community stakeholders for their <br />cooperation and assistance in preparing this report. Lexington is a proud and vibrant <br />community with high expectations for the performance and professionalism of its public <br />servants. It is our goal to provide the community with a road map and template for <br />strengthening the level of fire and EMS services. As with any public safety organization, there is <br />always room for improvement, but the citizens of Lexington should be proud of the quality and <br />performance of their firefighters and paramedics who provide round - the -clock protection and <br />care. <br />Town of Lexington, MA Fire Department Staffing Study <br />Prepared by Municipal Resources, Inc. <br />June 2012 <br />Page 12 <br />(1 <br />Municipal <br />Resources <br />
