The Round Rock Fire Department has initiated a comprehensive analysis in collaboration with Matrix Consulting Group to guide the development of a strategic plan for the next five years, as well as a 10-year master plan.

The study is intended to evaluate the department’s current and projected staffing requirements, station locations, appropriate responding apparatus and overall daily operations.

This vital initiative seeks to align the Fire Department’s strategic and master plans with the city’s growth and the needs of its citizens. As part of the analysis, the Matrix Group is gathering extensive input from the public through a dedicated survey and is engaging with RRFD personnel through both surveys and in-person discussions. The goal is to ensure that the future plans for the department are reflective of the community’s expectations and the department’s capabilities.

Residents and businesses of Round Rock are encouraged to contribute their perspectives on fire protection services.

“The insights we gain from our citizens and department members through this process will be crucial for crafting a plan that represents the interests and needs of our community as we serve Round Rock over the coming decade,” said Fire Chief Shane Glaiser.

To ensure broad-based feedback, the survey has been designed to be concise, requiring approximately 10 minutes to complete.

The survey will be open through Friday, Nov. 24 and can be taken at surveymonkey.com/r/RRFDCommunity.
