An All Hazards Response to the Economic Downturn
Atlanta Fire Rescue Dept., GA
The Atlanta Fire Rescue Department is an all hazards agency with four divisions of labor. The fiscal challenges presented by the economic downturn of 2008 saw a reduction in staff, facilities and resources for the department. They are however, now experiencing a resurgence after putting into place an "all hazards" response to the crisis, restoring capabilities and recruiting new members.
