Thanks to our partners at
Fire Department of New York (FDNY) and the
National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) for the latest video:
Still Working...So Everyone Goes Home. There is a lot we can learn from the efforts FDYN has made since 9/11. Watch the video to see how your unit might benchmark their efforts.
Things to Ponder:
- Do you have dedicated programs for health and wellness, training, and safety?
- What are you doing to innovate and improve fireground operations with technological advancements?
- What training initiatiaves have you implemented to ensure that "Everyone Goes Home"?
- Have you established a health and wellness program?
- Are you constanstly trying to improve?
- Do you view training as a managerial or personal concern?
Leadership side notes: Deputy Assistant Chief Robert Maynes is a member of the L-580 Steering Committee. We appreciate Bob's continued support of leadership development. and care for his people.
(A special thanks to Leadership Subcommittee member Brian Fennessy for the lead on this story!)
