Gary Fleischer- 35 years of combination experience. A District Chief with the City Of Worcester Fire Department in Massachusetts. Growing up Gary didn’t have aspirations of becoming a Firefighter. He was introduced to an explorer post from his friends which got him into obtaining training, skills, knowledge and doing outside only work for the fire department on scenes of emergencies. After doing this for a bit Gary knew the fire service was what he wanted to do for a career. His path to get there took time and patience but once Gary got his foot in the door he never looked back climbing through the ranks to where he is today. One of the takeaways I hope the listeners can obtain is when Gary speaks the truth when it comes to Task/Strategic level training. For those who don’t know about the history of Worcester Fire Department do yourself a favor and read the following NIOSH reports that he wanted to me share. We must be able to understand the past so the future of the fire service doesn’t repeat it. Actively engaging with history and ensure lessons are passed on.
