NHFR Strategic Plan 2021-2026

Nags Head Fire Rescue (NHFR) provides fire, rescue, emergency medical first response, hazardous materials response, fire investigation, community risk reduction and public education services to the residents, businesses, and visitors of Nags Head, North Carolina. Nags Head Fire Rescue is consistently working to achieve and/or maintain the highest level of professionalism and efficiency on behalf of those it serves, so it has taken to develop a “Community-Driven Strategic Plan.” Using the framework from the guidelines set forth in the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) Fire & Emergency Service Self-Assessment Manual 9th Ed., this document intends to guide the organization with established parameters set forth by the authority having jurisdiction.

The community-driven strategic planning process goes beyond the development of a document. It challenged the agency’s members to critically examine paradigms, values, philosophies, beliefs and desires, in addition to challenging individuals to work in the best interest of the “team.” It further provided the agency with an opportunity to participate in the development of their organization’s long-term direction and focus. Members of the organization’s external and internal stakeholders’ groups demonstrated commitment to this important project and remain committed to the document’s completion.
