In this episode of Fire Service Data and Tech Talk, host Eddie Buchanan discusses the challenges fire departments with limited technological resources face.  The episode focuses on the valuable work of the Africa Fire Mission (AFM), and features three guests: Dave Moore, AFM's founder, Nancy Moore, cofounder, and Jose Ngunjiri, fire safety officer for AFM. They shed light on their mission to provide training and resources to fire departments in developing nations, primarily across Africa. They delve into the gap in understanding and the critical nature of respect between communities and fire services. They also emphasize the importance of education, advocacy, and data collection to improve response times and fire prevention strategies. Listeners will learn about on-the-ground approaches, including how grassroots education initiatives and open data sharing can transform community engagement and fire safety outcomes.
