Who's the mentor, You're the mentor!
Sep 1, 2023
This month I welcome back RJ (Robert James) we dig into the
topic of being a mentor. It is important to take the new
firefighters under your wing, guide them and set them on the path
to be successful. It is everyone’s job to ensure we are turning out
the best firefighters. Remember your rookie is a reflection of you
and your shift.
In the 2nd part of the show, we discuss officer development. The
fire service drops the ball when it comes to teaching firefighter
to become officers who can make quick decisions with imperfect
information. What does the perfect officer development school look
like? How long should it last? Sure, it will cost money, but you
can put a price on well trained fire service leaders.
