Fighting Fires, mitigating emergencies and serving the public are hard enough tasks. Managing the resources to accomplish these tasks takes leadership and trust. The two do not come with a promotion ceremony or the pinning of badges. They come from Fire Officer Trust.

FDIC 2013 - Here We Go Again
Had a great and informative time this week at FDIC 2013. As always, a record crowd. As always, a great place for firefighters and fire instructors to exchange ideas, learn and grow.
The session opened with a stellar ceremony and great words of encouragement and inspiration. As with most important ceremonies and events the pipes and drum corps sound the clarion call to action and remembrance. The corps is made up of Pipers and Drummers from all over the nation.
I found a great opportunity to chat with Sparky in his fire engine. He gave a lesson on how to become "The Man:. LOL This great piece of Public Fire Safety Education equipment still draws a crowd and when the operator s a character themselves...well, you just have to watch.
The week has gone so fast we're going to post pictures (worth a thousand words) to catch you up. Sat down to interview some great fire officers and instructors that we are posting for your listening pleasure and edification. Be sure to check back periodically for them.
