Show Notes
Don’t get the wrong idea here. “Rules are important,” says Orange County (California) Fire Authority Chief Brian Fennessy; however, firefighters need to be trusted to make smart decisions when things go awry in the world of chaos around us – and this trust is best achieved through an intent-driven culture where members understand the organizational mission.
Plus, we dig into all this:
- Learn: The OCFA Doctrine shaping the future of the department
- Action: The power of a station visit, particularly for new members
- Laugh: Firefighters’ keen abilities to sniff out a fraud
- High note: IAFC’s Career Fire Chief of the Year Award honor
- Power quote: “Legacy? I don’t need some stinkin’ legacy.”
