SAFE-T: Securing A Future of Excellence Together is a community driven process to explore the challenges and opportunities facing Central County Fire & Rescue and create long-term solutions for the District. Participants study equipment, facilities, finance and staffing and create recommendations for the future of each area.
SAFE-T 2014: Facilities & Equipment Review
In 2008 Central County Fire & Rescue (CCFR) turned to the community to help plan for the future through SAFE-T (Securing A Future of Excellence – Together). This public engagement effort gave the community the opportunity to learn more about the District and create a long-range plan.
In 2009, funding for the original SAFE-T long-range plan was approved by voters. The plan helped the District maintain quality emergency services by providing funding for enhanced training, additional firefighters, updated equipment and fire stations.
Since then, the community has come together to continually update the plan, and provide feedback on the creation of the new fire station #2. In the fall of 2014, SAFE-T was brought together again to update the original SAFE-T long-range plan and create recommendations for the future of the District’s equipment and facilities.
This phase of the SAFE-T program involved three community engagement sessions, and a series of open house events at each fire station. A core group of 20 community members were actively involved in the community engagement sessions, and 382 people attended an open house event. Nearly 1,000 people participated in the process and provided feedback to create Proposition S, a no-tax-rate increase bond issue on the April 7, 2015 ballot.
