Need Assignment Completed

The Fire Chief has informed you that the fire prevention bureau has exceeded its budget and has no funds available to implement an important fire prevention program which targets at-risk populations. Plans call for the program to be implemented during the national fire prevention week, which starts in two weeks.

Review the list below and identify at least one stakeholder/customer (be specific) from each group within your community:
• A civic or community association/group
• A local government agency/department, other than the fire department for funding.
• A not-for-profit group
• A fraternal organization
• A political group

Discuss how you, as a chief officer, use the inner workings of the political process to address the necessary funding for this important program. Also, identify which of the 16 life safety initiatives are applicable to this assignment.

Your response should be a minimum of 500 words (not including the identification of life safety initiatives).
