Over the past few years, fire departments have become intimately involved in the communities they serve. Developing successful community relationships is now a top priority for fire service leaders. Departments have developed and successfully established programs ranging from the simple "Good Morning Wake-Up Calls" in which dispatch centers check in on elderly or disabled residents to the all-encompassing Risk Watch® Program.
The Englewood (NJ) Fire Department developed a unique and innovative program to reach our residents that was inspired by the popular bookmobile program: We developed a way to deliver fire prevention education to all parts of our community using a rehabilitated school bus.
