County hires MissionCIT team to develop 5–10 year Fire Rescue and EMS master plan
Summary
Public Safety introduced Mission Critical Immersive Training (MissionCIT) to update Calvert County's 2008 master plan; consultants will deliver a draft in October and a final report in December, based on surveys, site visits and GIS analysis.
Calvert County's Department of Public Safety presented a consultant-led effort to develop a new 5–10 year Fire Rescue and EMS master plan, aiming to guide staffing, facility, apparatus and training decisions.
Deputy Director Crystal Doubt introduced Mission Critical Immersive Training (MissionCIT), which the county selected to update the 2008 master plan. Project manager Frank Edwards said the consultant team includes former career and volunteer fire and EMS professionals and that the process includes internal member surveys (about 200 responses so far), external stakeholder surveys, station and department site visits, GIS analysis, focus groups and interviews with county staff. Edwards said the team expects to present a draft report to the county in October and a final report in December, with recommendations that include phasing and cost estimates.
Commissioners asked about comparable jurisdictions, apparatus lead times and potential transitions from volunteer to paid services; the consultant said vehicle lead times and regional staffing patterns factor into recommendations. The board welcomed the effort and thanked staff for initiating the study.
