SFF got to hear from Hickory Fire Department's Accreditation Manager-Captain Marcus Scott, Chief Matt Hutchinson and Battalion Chief Jason Lowrance to find out how fire ground operations can be conducted so all the operations work in conjunction with one another. Marcus Scott has been Hickory's Accreditation Manager for over 5 years and has previous specialization in Fire Systems Data while Jason Lowrance has been with Hickory's department for over 18 years, currently serving as the Chief of Support Services. Their leader Matt Hutchinson has a rich history in the fire industry ever since he joined the department in 2003.
