Read Article LEWISTON — An independent analysis of the Fire Department suggests a series of changes, including modernizing its administrative and promotional structure, expanding training and addressing a less-than-ideal dispatch call time. The 134-page report, presented to the City Council on Tuesday, lists 37 recommendations that could bring sweeping changes to the department if implemented. At its core, the report suggests that the department shift from an “industrial model” of management, with a rigid chain of command, to a “high-performance” organization that better utilizes younger and skilled staff on its roster. According to the report by the Center for Public Safety Management, the department “is excellent at firefighting but has not adopted other core competencies that modern fire departments perform.”
