Strategic
Goals and Objectives
Strategic Goals
The strategic goals were developed through a process of analysis looking
at past history, present situation, and future needs. This analysis
included input from all levels of the organization and considered
customer comments and the needs of the community. The staff was
tasked with developing objectives that address each of these goals.
Strategic Objectives
The objectives outline the actions which will be taken to address the
issues identified in the strategic goals. In some cases, these objectives
are broad and need further research by the staff and members. In other
cases, the information in the objectives is more specific and addresses
fiscal issues and timelines.

Strategic Goal 3
Develop a Health and Wellness program for the members of the
Heber-Overgaard Fire District
Description of Goal
Firefighting is a physically strenuous job and firefighters need to be in
top physical shape. The Heber-Overgaard Fire District is in a remote
rural area and mutual aid would take 25-30 minutes to assist. Our
workforce is expected to provide service at a high level, which can take a
toll if the firefighters are not fit.

Strategic Goal 5
Maintain facility and equipment to meet the needs of the
Heber-Overgaard Fire District
Description of Goal
The Heber-Overgaard Fire District has 12 vehicles in the fleet with a
replacement cost of an estimated 2 million dollars. The district must
adopt and implement a plan for long term replacement of these vehicles
to ensure we can meet our service and fiscal responsibilities. The Fire
District has a large capital investment in the Fire Station. The station and
equipment need to be assessed to ensure that the long term needs of the
District are met.
