Wrapping up… Is there a set model that works for
everyone? Is it always easy? Does everyone always get their way? Can Colleges/Universities live without
the local FD? Can communities live without the
College/University?
![Page 29: University and Fire Department Relations](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815af5550346895dc8b002/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Colleges/Universities must together!
If you haven’t started building the relationship - get started today.
It is a matter of when… Not if you will be called upon to work together in a time of crisis….
