The Ridge Road Fire District has
received Accredited Agency status with the Commission on Fire
Accreditation International, Inc (CFAI) for meeting the criteria
established through the CFAI’s self assessment and accreditation
program. The District is the first fire department in New York State to
have achieved Internationally Accredited Agency status with the CFAI.
The
Commission on Fire Accreditation International, Inc. is dedicated to
assisting the fire and emergency service agencies throughout the world
in achieving excellence through self assessment and accreditation in
order to provide continuous quality improvement and the enhancement of
service delivery to their communities. The CFAI process is a major
commitment on the part of the agency. The process provides an
improvement model to assess the service delivery and performance
internally and then works with a team of peers from other agencies to
evaluate the completed assessment.
The
District’s achievement of Accredited Agency status demonstrates the
commitment of the organization to provide the highest quality of
service to our community. The District has also used the Commission on
Fire Accreditation International’s process as a proactive mechanism to
plan for the future of this agency and locate areas where we can
improve on the quality of services we provide.
