Problem:
At the last city council meeting, the fire chief updated the council on the previous month's fire statistics and initiatives. One of the major talking points was the number of resources (financial and physical) that the fire department put into fire prevention efforts across the division, including inspection and code enforcement, education, investigation, and engineering. The council asked the fire chief whether the money and effort was effective and whether the resources should be used in other areas of the department that have more impact on the safety of the community.
