The Art of Planning

摘要

I have been immeasurably blessed! I started my fire service career in a small volunteer department in Illinois where we didn't have a lot of fancy resources or specialized tools. Our budgets were small, and pancake breakfasts and chili supper fundraisers were a necessary mainstay of our operation. Funds were so tight that planning was essential. We didn't have the money to spend unwisely, and we carefully scrutinized decisions to ensure that we were being the best stewards of the residents' hard-earned dollars.
