Buffalo Grove Fire Department conducting community survey

The Buffalo Grove Fire Department is conducting a survey to get community feedback as part of its 2021 strategic planning process.

The online survey is focused on understanding residents' experiences with fire protection and emergency services, and offers opportunities for respondents to share comments on perceived strengths and/or challenges related to services provided

by the department.

The survey is open to all Buffalo Grove residents, business owners, employees, and visitors of Buffalo Grove, with the response period closing on Aug. 8.

To take the survey, visit www.vbg.org/firestrategicplan.

The fire department's 2022-2025 Strategic Plan will identify goals, objectives, and initiatives that are necessary to

plan for the future.

"As clearly shown by the COVID-19 pandemic, fire departments need to stay flexible in order to react to a changing world," Fire Chief Mike Baker said in an announcement of the survey. "This strategic plan will ensure the department has proactively identified potential challenges and is actively setting its own path to success."
