Jeff Marusich is a 25 year veteran of the Highland Park Fire Department in Illinois.  On July 4th of 2022 an active shooter incident occurred at the Highland Park 4th of July Parade.

Jeff was tasked with the internal examination of the department response, and lessons learned.

So often in the fire service we build our opinions from newspaper articles, after action reports, and rumors.  Today we get to talk with a member of the affected department who is able to present the information in a detailed and organized way so we can hear the stories and learn the lessons from 1 degree of separation.

Thank you Jeff, and here's to continued success in building a department of independent thinkers and informal leaders.
