This month I ask the questions, why are people reluctant to make
decisions? How do we overcome the fear of making a decision on the
fireground? what tools can we use to help people to make quick
decisions with less than perfect information.
I enlist the help of Deputy Chief Shane Darwick. Shane is a
longtime friend, mentor, and teacher. Shane can keep calm, filter
out the external noise and distraction on chaotic emergency
incident and instill command presence. Shane offers over 40 years
of experiences in the fire service to answer my questions on the
art of decision making.
