Join your Lone Star F.O.O.L.S Sunday July 7 @ 0930 Nate’s in Buda 306 S main st.  We will discuss the dichotomy of Attitudes. Standards, and Culture in the fire service and respective departments. . The fire service is all about perceived culture. What is your department’s culture? Does your department have a standard? Is this standard only for new hires or does your department hold the most senior fire fire fighter to a standard?  How is your department’s standards effecting the attitudes of the fire fighters in your department?  There are varying definitions or understandings of fire service culture and the importance of standards.   What culture has your department built and how has that culture affected the attitudes in your department.  I firmly believe that change in the department begins with change in the fire fighter. Does your fire department need a change?  Bring your thoughts and ideas to the sermon at Nates Sunday July 7.
