More than 300 Minnesota fire chiefs have already stepped up.
They've shared their experiences, highlighted their challenges and helped paint a clearer picture of what today's fire service looks like across our state.
Every survey completed is another voice helping shape the future of Minnesota's fire service — for the firefighters who serve today and the generations who will answer the call tomorrow.
To those who have already participated: Thank you!
If you’re a chief who hasn’t completed the statewide fire service assessment yet, there's still time to add your department's story. Every response helps build a stronger, safer Minnesota.
