With the first Sunday being April, and the next being during our last day of the WORK Conference, we have decided to hold our next sermon on Thursday, March 29th. We’re sorry about the short notice. We look forward to seeing you all there.

The Senior (wo)Man

An open discussion about our expectations of our senior firefighters.

Are we, as senior firefighters meeting expectations of our CO’s, and perhaps even more important, our newer firefighters.

Company Officers: What is expected of us?how can we improve?

Senior FF’s: what is expected of our senior officers and less senior firefighters?

Personally, as a firefighter, I feel my role is supportive. We support the citizens by delivering top notch service, as would be expected from a professional. We are supportive of our company officers, limiting their ever-growing work load. Finally, we support our junior guys by mentoring and forwarding all the lessons we have learned through experience. We should be setting high expectations by focusing on fundamental training. Probation should never be given, it should be earned. Are we succeeding in our organizations or failing?
