Man-made risks are significant, and include fire and pollution. Fire can occur in residential, commercial, or wildland form. Fire occurs as a result of human error at home or in the workplace. Wildland fires can start as a result of unsupervised campfires burning matches or live cigarettes (El Dorado Hills Fire Dept, 2010). Because the rainfall per year for the area is fairly low, wildland fires are a significant risk. This risk is however lowered by the fact that wind poses no risk. The lack of very strong winds also provides for the possibility that the fire department can control a wildland fire fairly easily should it be detected in time.
Residential and commercial fires pose a lesser risk, because these are generally mitigated by prevention and warning measures such as smoke detectors, fire alarms, and fire extinguishers within the home or workplace. Furthermore, nearly constant human presence in residential and commercial areas also lowers the risk of such fires.
The risk of pollution is also relatively high, with air pollution at 81% of the national average. This is a significant...
Air pollution is the most significant pollution risk in the community. Air pollution can lead to significant health problems, such as exacerbating existing asthma problems or increasing the risk of developing breathing and lung conditions.
In conclusion, the above-mentioned risk factors are relatively favorable, particularly when considered in terms of the national average for each. The weather and wind factors are particularly favorable, with the most significant risks posed by wildland fires, air pollution, and naturally occurring asbestos.

It is expected that department's financial resources will be reduced. This means that the department will be forced to make a series of modifications regarding the allocation of financial resources. The department's financial situation must be assessed in order to find out which areas require the most financial resources, which areas can function with lower levels of financial resources, and how the department's money can be reallocated. The most important aspect
The prevention also includes the department's collaboration with the community. This is because the community must support the prevention activity of the El Dorado Hills Fire Department. This is the reason for which the department has initiated a series of training sessions and other activities intended to increase the degree of awareness among the population regarding the issues addressed by the department. The department's initiative in this direction also allows and
The existing statement has some strengths, but also some weaknesses. The existing statement is similar to mine in that it provides a clear definition of the department's functions. However, the standards of performance are less well-defined, for example "quality" is less specific than "the highest ethical standards." The statements about workforce diversity are similarly open-ended, but mine is somewhat more specific. Both statements provide a strong sense of the Department's

Identify examples of problems dealing with educational levels, pay scale, and seniority. Problems with educational levels, pay scale, and seniority are also issues with merged departments. Smaller departments may not have had the training opportunities that larger departments had, and their officers may not be as prepared or well versed in some areas, such as detective work or gang activities. This can affect pay scale, and different departments may have different
