This interactive class explores the relationship of the law and the fire service. The threat of a lawsuit places our fire departments, fire officers, firefighters and EMS personnel in harm’s way. When something goes wrong in the operations, policies and practices of the fire department especially in the area of personnel management, response, customer service and interpersonal relationships, legal fires can and will occur. The presenter will discuss the hot buttons and flashpoints related to legal issues, and provide guidance on keeping them in the incipient stage.
