The iCHIEFS Podcast welcomes Fire Chief Kris Blume from the Meridian Fire Department in Idaho. Chief Blume has managed three new fire station builds, a new public safety village, and a 40% increase in staffing over the first three years of being a fire chief. Chief Blume discusses his experience and challenges with “all gas, no brakes” and what he learned as a fire chief who moved his family from sunny Arizona to southwestern Idaho.
