The Carpentersville Fire Department is closer to having its first comprehensive strategic plan in place.
But, noted Fire Chief John-Paul Schilling, it's still a work in progress.
"It's a lot of work. It's not anything that's going to be done quickly but we want to do it right," he said during his update to village trustees at Tuesday's board meeting.
The process came as a result of the "100 Day Plan" Schilling was tasked with when he took the helm of the fire department last June by Village Manager Mark Rooney. The initiative's overall objectives, established through the collaborative efforts of village administration, battalion chiefs, and executive board members of the fire department's full and part time unions, included improving and/or increasing communication, improving training, safety, and risk management, and increasing personnel collaboration through the creation of various committees.
