Fire and EMS Consulting

As Fire and EMS continues to change across the country, now more than ever it is important to plan and adapt to the changing times. At RYNO Public Safety Solutions, we have 40+ years of experience at the Chief Officer level, Executive Director level and experience in local government. Our team of experts can assist your organization with strategic planning, budgeting, recruitment and retention programs, corporate by-law updates, staffing plans that include transitioning to career staff where necessary, operational assessments, standard of cover analysis, station assessments and much more! RYNO Public Safety Solutions consultants have performed Fire and EMS studies for local municipalities as well as studies at the county level that encompass multiple organizations. If you have a desire to pursue consolidation, regionalization or some type of partnership, we have experience in that arena and can facilitate those discussions and processes for your organization.
