ORANGE COUNTY FIRE RESCUE STUDY <br />ORANGE COUNTY FIRE MARSHAL <br />2 The County Fire Marshal's office should develop a plan to enable Departments to <br />3 exercise their collective power to negotiate better prices for equipment by setting up <br />4 group purchase agreements with suppliers and by Departments plaruli.ng their <br />5 purchase needs with sufficient notice to make group purchases. <br />6 <br />7 The County planning and zoning boards should keep the County fire depamnents <br />8 informed of all requests and approvals for new development in department <br />9 response areas. This would help ensure fire protection considerations are induded <br />10 as contingencies in any approvals and the department can generate plans to <br />11 provide the appropriate and expected protection. <br />12 The best way to ensure this is to require all plans to not only be forwazded to the <br />13 Fire Marshall's Office but to require sign off by the Office and the affected <br />14 department(s). <br />95 <br />
