The Chief's Bull's-Eye

The Bull's-Eye is a daily reminder of the District's priorities which include:

Safety and Performance 

The center of the Bull's-Eye is a reminder that employee and volunteer safety shares top priority with getting the job done well. Everyone who comes to work goes home from work, and everyone is expected to perform their jobs at the highest performance level possible.

Customer Service 

We recognize that serving our community is a privilege. Whether it's a true emergency incident or a situation where a citizen has simply exhausted their personal resources, we should exceed the expectations of every citizen with whom we come in contact.

Professionalism 

Specifically, at TVF&R, this means conducting ourselves in a manner that brings credit to the organization and the fire service while on duty and off duty.

Vision

We invite all members of the communities we serve, along with our partner governmental agencies, to join us in supporting a shared vision for the safety of our community:

• Where safety from fire and medical emergencies is increasingly achieved through prevention, yet when emergencies occur, the speed and quality of response is always outstanding.

• Where every home and business is equipped with effective life safety technology and maintained in a manner that assures early detection and warning if fire occurs.

• Where every neighbor and every business does their part and participates with us in an active emergency preparedness partnership.

• Where cooperative resource sharing and collaborative partnerships ensure both a highly effective emergency response system and an efficient one as well.

In fulfilling this community vision, we want our community partners to know that we are committed to being an organization that:

• Anticipates, influences, and adapts to change in order to ensure that excellent service is continually available to every community we serve.

• Remains aligned to the single purpose of serving the greater community good, where the actions of every member models the highest values of public service and, together, we are recognized as an organization that exemplifies the concept of good government.
