Toledo, Ohio (August 8, 2011) – Take Command, a fire services consultancy firm focused on teaching volunteer/combination fire departments how to develop and utilize systems and processes to meet today’s challenges, launched today.

“Our mission is to educate the fire service on the importance of strategic planning and financial management,” commented Jason Conklin, founder and owner of Take Command. “The importance of strategic planning is critical to providing communities with the proper protection from an ever-increasing list of threats. Take Command provides fire departments the training and tools to be successful, sustainable and meet the needs of their community.”

By expanding and customizing proven systems and process for the fire service community, Take Command strives to dramatically improve the sustainability of volunteer/combination fire departments for many years to come.

Take Command services include, but are not limited to:

• Organizational Size-up program (strategic planning)
• Budgeting
• Grant writing
• Organizational Size-up
• Presentation preparation
• Management reports

The Organizational Size-up program is a revolutionary approach that brings forth the idea of strategic planning a step-by-step system producing predictable and consistent results. It was built on the idea of changing the way fire departments view and implement strategic planning. The program is based on paralleling scene management concepts that we as emergency responders are taught to use to save lives, and apply them to the business side of the fire service to achieve our goals.
