Fire and Training: Leadership at the Frontline
In this episode of Fire and Training, Douglas Cline sits down with Dave McGlynn to explore leadership rooted at the firehouse floor. They discuss how true leadership transcends rank, focusing on accountability, mentorship, and the critical influence of those “unofficial leaders” shaping day-to-day culture. From personal stories of veterans who inspired lasting impact to the challenges of today’s social media-driven environment, they address how passion and responsibility are essential for building resilient teams. The conversation also highlights the often-overlooked importance of fostering camaraderie and mentoring younger firefighters to create a legacy of excellence. McGlynn and Cline emphasize that leadership begins with caring for your teammates, taking ownership, and embracing the fire service’s unique brotherhood—and sisterhood—while balancing the high stakes and everyday moments that define the job.
