WFD Ops Talk

Ops Talk - Real conversations about fire department operations, tactics, and the people doing the work. Hosted by Westminster Fire Department Deputy Chief Eric Linnenburger, featuring firefighters, officers, and subject matter experts from inside and outside the organization. Each month, we explore the challenges facing modern fire service operations - from evolving tactics like electric vehicle fires and hazmat response, to position profiles that go beyond the job description, to lessons learned from real incidents and deployments. We discuss leadership, team building, specialty teams, and the expertise that makes great firefighters even better. Whether you're a firefighter looking to grow professionally, aspiring to promote, or simply interested in emergency operations, these honest conversations offer practical insights you can use. Think of it as pulling up a chair at the kitchen table - real discussions about the work we do and how we can all learn from each other. New episodes monthly, with occasional bonus content on timely topics. Questions or topic suggestions? Email opstalk.wfd@gmail.com
