Fire Service Project
Working with mayors and community leaders from five southwest Cuyahoga County suburbs, six B-W students and three faculty members are involved in an investigation of ways to improve quality and reduce costs for fire and emergency services. This early initiative toward regionalization examined best practices from around the country as well as the specific needs of the five communities. The cost was underwritten by corporate partnerships and foundation grants. Communities could begin to implement the findings as early as summer 2006.
