Testimonials & Client List

“I personally have been involved with a variety of ways of developing strategic plans over my 32 years in the fire service and the process utilized by the Ludwig group by far was the most user friendly and compatible to our organization than I have ever seen. I highly recommend the Ludwig group to anyone seeking assistance in developing a strategic plan for their organization or department, you won’t be disappointed”.
Dennis Mueller
Fire Chief
Lake Havasu (AZ) Fire Department

"The Springfield Illinois Fire Department was very pleased with the work provided by The Ludwig Group. Their fire station relocation study has given us a fact based actionable template for us to move forward with a 5 to 10 year relocation plan. In fact shortly after our study was completed, our city received a letter of determination from the Federal Transportation Agency that will relocate all our current rail traffic onto one set of tracks making one of our current fire stations essentially land locked. I reached out to Gary Ludwig, explained the situation identified with the rail relocation issue after his study was completed and he has offered to amend his original study based on the new information. I would highly recommend The Ludwig Group for all your fire protection needs."
