Strategic Actions/

Next Three Years

Strategies are the “critical few” things that will bridge the
gap between where the organization is today and where it
hopes to be in the future. Strategies are the “gap closers”.
Strategies improve focus, unify department efforts and drive
resourcing decisions. They also make implementation clearer,
more executable, and sustainable.

Based upon careful review of stakeholder input and the

environmental scan, the three Strategies below have been
identified as the critical areas of focus for the 2026-2029
Strategic Plan, moving Augusta Fire Department toward
becoming the department we aspire to be in our Vision.

The Strategy Definition explains the meaning of the Strategy
as the department views it, and the Strategic Action Items
provide the high-level action steps stating how the
Strategies will be executed. The “how-tos” of these high-
level action steps will be further operationalized using the
S.M.A.R.T. (Specific/Measurable/Achievable/Relevant/Time-
bound) criteria during the Implementation phase.
