Under the direction of Chief Mark Havener, South Pend Oreille Fire and Rescue program workshops are developed by the Public Education Team based on the following five-step plan.

• Identification of the most important local fire, burn and all other risk problems.

• Selection of the biggest risks that can be reduced by public effort.  This

includes the identification and selection of target audiences and high risk

groups.

• Program development designed to fit the audience and meet attainable

objectives.

• Implementation of the education program according to plan with the flexibility

to meet the changing needs of the community.
