MFRD Strategic Plan
The Mobile Fire-Rescue Department provides fire suppression, technical rescue, emergency medical services, hazardous material mitigation, disaster preparedness planning and response, marine operations, aircraft rescue, fire inspection, code enforcement, fire investigation, and public education to the City of Mobile, Alabama.
The Mobile Fire-Rescue Department provides these core services with the highest professional standards and efficiency to the community it serves. The MFRD is an internationally accredited agency through the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) and Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI).
The MFRD strategic plan is written in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) Fire and Emergency Service Self‐Assessment Manual, 10th edition. The process of developing the Mobile Fire-Rescue Department Strategic Plan went beyond merely developing a document. Input from internal stakeholders was sought so that members could look at how the Mobile Fire-Rescue Department conducts its business by critically assessing and challenging the Department’s processes, paradigms, values, and practices.
Stakeholders were also given the opportunity to provide input on the Department’s long‐term direction. Furthermore, external stakeholders were given the opportunity to provide feedback on their fire department and to provide insight from the “customer’s” perspective. Both groups’ involvement was invaluable to the process of building the strategic plan.
The strategic plan, containing the Department's mission statement and vision statement, is the embodiment of the Mobile Fire-Rescue Department’s core values, goals, and objectives, providing guidance on paths forward and clarity for future success.
