ENCORE EPISODE!While the hosts are away, the show must still play.  Enjoy this episode that originally aired on 1/23/2016

Is the fire service changing? Is your department changing? We hope it is because the status quo eventually leads to a department or profession's failure. But, change can create a lot of conflict because humans are naturally averse to it. So how can change be introduced in a way that gains quicker acceptance? Join Dane, Craig, and Jeff with special guest Chris Rasmussen on tonight's show where these questions and more are discussed.
