On the questions trustees, chiefs, and EMS administrators ask.
John T. Brady wrote Fire District Administration and Organization, published in two editions by the Illinois Association of Fire Protection Districts.
Every emergency organization, regardless of its size, needs the services of competent professionals to guide it and help it avoid legal problems. We strive to provide the highest quality legal services possible to our clients, and to do so in as timely and cost-effective a manner as possible. We realize that with ever-fewer dollars available to emergency service organizations, those dollars available must be wisely used, and stretched to cover many different areas. We work with our clients to keep legal fees a reasonable part of their total yearly budget.
