Changing the Fire Service Culture
Posted on Fire & EMS Leader Pro 15 hours ago
But changing a fire service organization’s culture is not as easy as changing the type of hose that your department carries on its fire apparatus. That’s because making changes to the culture—that mix of rituals, values, and traditions that defines a group—is tricky business and frequently messy. The current culture persists because it’s one of the main ingredients in the glue that holds the organization together. Culture exists in the “space” between people, not just in any one individual or small group of individuals.

Video: House Fire…The Fire Critic Weighs in on Improper Ventilation Technique
Posted on Fire Critic 19 hours ago
I have something to say. Many ask why I don't weigh in on actions and tactics I see in videos I post on FireCritic.com. This is one of those times I CANNOT stay silent. Fast-forward to 3:50 in the video for what I am talking about. This is NOT a correct way of ventilating a roof. Most of you know I am not a "Safety Sallie". Our profession is inherently dangerous, we need to operate as safely and effectively as possible.

Cellphone Searches and Stipends
Posted on Fire Law Blog 19 hours ago
Today’s burning question: My fire department gives firefighters a stipend of $125 dollars a year to cover the costs of various text messages they send us and any work related calls we make/receive.
