Help Guide the Future of the Braidwood Fire Protection District

The Board of Trustees of the Braidwood Fire Protection District is calling on residents to help
guide the future of fire and emergency services in our community. We are forming a Community
Engagement Facilitating Team made up of local residents who will lead conversations about
the long-term needs of the District.

This team will:

Learn and Understand

  • The current state of district operations including staffing, facilities, equipment and
    finances.
  • How call volume, staffing, and regional factors affect service delivery.
  • The level of fire and EMS service the community expects, and the resources needed to
    meet those expectations safely and reliably.

Engage and Gather Feedback

  • Implement a community engagement process that actively involves district residents in
    reviewing challenges and opportunities facing the district.
  • Gather input on community priorities for service levels, staffing, and facilities.

Develop Findings and Recommendations

  • Prepare a report summarizing community input, current perceptions and priorities.
  • Provide recommendations to the Board of Trustees for sustaining and strengthening
    emergency services, including funding, staffing and facility considerations.

Your voice matters. By sharing your perspective, you can help ensure that our District continues
to meet the highest standards of service while planning responsibly for the future.

If you’re passionate about the safety and well-being of Braidwood, we encourage you to apply.
