Going back to some of my podcasts over the last 6 months. It’s been an experience that I’ve learned some stuff from. Hopefully Season 2 will be just as good!!

We all conduct training right? Well are we going through the motions or are we giving the crews the educating of the why factor. Why do we do what we do. It’s not because “that’s the way it’s always been done” you got to have a true educated reason on why.

Just thoughts on my mind

If you just got a promotion here is some advice that was given to me and I hope it will help you out. Don’t just stop and sit on the couch because you got that promotion. Now is the time to build your team and make them and yourself better.

Incorporating your team on some decisions is important. If you just make decisions because you have the power or you can may come and bite you in the rear. If someone knows more than you on something it’s ok to ask their opinion. Be an open door kind of person!!

Communication is important on the fire scene as well as team building. Once communication is stopped or withheld then things start to breakdown. So let’s communicate baby!!

Cutting cars, stabilization is fun, but do you have the right strategies and tactics to perform the job well? Here are some of my ways of extrication!! Enjoy!

Mental stress and health are an important topic that needs to be talked about. Taking time off to relax from the stress of work and how to deal with PTSD. It’s real not fake. I will talk about my personal PTSD that I fought through several years ago. Oh yeah F*** the nay sayers after coming back from a stress free vacation. Hit me up on Facebook and Twitter!!

Fire ground jobs and how to make the operation run smooth. Also, educating the rookies with the right tools. Are we still learning old tricks? Why not teach new ones too?
