The Fire File

Answer Discussion Question 1, page 36 at the end of the case.

Before any proposed changes are made in the City of Trillium’s Fire and EMS services:

  1. What organization is the current provider of  (1) fire and (2) EMS services?
  2. What organization is the current producer of (1) fire and (2) EMS services?

The case indicates that several possible options are on the table for changing Fire and EMS services in Trillium.

  1. What alternative fire service production alternatives are discussed?
  2. What alternative EMS production alternatives are discussed?
  3. Do you think a healthy service “market” of alternative producers exists for Trillium? Why or why not?

In our reading by Whittaker, a set of considerations are listed on page 377 (see Deciding when to use which alternative) as a guide for when to use which alternative.   Briefly discuss each of the four considerations with respect to fire and EMS options for Trillium (there are five but we already discussed the first one “what potential producers are available?” in question 3, above). Where appropriate discuss Fire and EMS services separately.

 

Little is discussed in the case about how the Fire and EMS services are financed or will be under the potential alternatives.   From what is available, describe how the financing of these services coincides with the principle of Fiscal Equivalence?

First, find two job listings on the Monster.com website. You may choose positions that interest you or that you may qualify for based on your education and work experience.

Next, write two application letters – one in response to each of the two listings you have decided upon. You will see the proper format in the chapter of your text that covers sales letters. Additionally, look at the format below as well as a sample cover letter that appears in the current unit of ENW 300. You should review the example closely before you start work on your assignment. Each of your letters should run a minimum of 400 words in length single-spaced, not counting addresses and other headings.
