Ron Garcia - Fun and Camaraderie


Fun and Camaraderie from The Smokey Generation on Vimeo.

If you're not having fun at work, then it's time to do something else. 

Ron Garcia, District Fire Management Officer for the U.S. Fire Service, doesn't actually share what the average human being would consider fun in this video. However, he shares a genuine response about fun in the workplace. When you office becomes the great outdoors, the definition of fun can take on a whole different meaning. Take a few minutes to see if Ron's ideas of fun match any of yours.
