The American fire service has done an exceptional job of developing its officers and leaders with excellent training in the areas of fire ground attack, and other topics. However, today’s volunteer fire departments have become a complex business requiring future leaders and officers to possess a broad knowledge base of fire ground operations and also an equal blend of knowledge related to long-range planning, people and personnel management, and conflict resolution. This program introduces attendees, who are the “future of the fire service,” to information related to leadership, professional conduct, ethics, core values, social media, personnel management, long-range planning, NFPA 1720 and other critical topics. This session is aimed at up and coming fire department leaders, however anyone can attend.This entertaining and interactive session is a must for any fire service leader.
