    #111, Control Your Command Climate

    In wildland firefighting we talk alot about the weather. Weather has a huge impact upon our operations in the field. We also talk about the changing climate and how our seasons are longer, fuels drier and fires lasting longer and growing bigger. But we don’t often talk about the command climate in our workplace. And […]

    #110, Fire and Ice Communications

    In your life as a firefighter and leader, more often than not, it’s miscommunications that will cause you more trouble and heartache than just about anything else. If we could only understand why we find ourselves cross ways with our supervisor and co-workers. Take a few minutes to listen in to this episode and hopefully […]

    #109, Prisoners of Fire – The Motion Picture

    This podcast should have been posted about 6 months ago, but the filmmaker and I finally got together to talk about this important story. Every firefighter, every family member and every friend of a firefighter and anyone holding a leadership position in any organization should watch this film. There is so much to learn about […]

    108# Why The Grand Canyon Lodge Burned Down

    Right now, I’m hearing alot of armchair quarterbacks passing judgement on the National Park Service management of a wildfire on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. The ensuing fire burned down the historic north rim lodge along with dozens of other structures. It’s a tragedy. Many people seem to “know” that National Park Management […]

There is a draft executive order floating around but more importantly there is language in the budget bill to move all of us under one organization within the Dept of Interior. […]

    #105, Preparing for the Crazy Unexpected

    What’s the craziest unexpected occurance that’s happened to you at an incident or responding to an incident? Was it critical enough that you had to change your plans. The crew of this type 4 engine never made it to their smoke report. Their plans definately changed and so did their local Battalion or Division. We […]

    #104, Do What I Didn’t Do… If You Like Breathing

    Two weeks ago, I lost my long time friend, mentor and type 1 Incident Commander to a work related illness. He died after being sick for a couple years. Those last two years for him were not good ones. And his illness was the result of our Incident Management Teams deployment to the World Trade […]

    #103, Why Care About Diversity?

    There is alot of talk about DEI these days. Much of it is not accurate and much of it implies affirmative action… which is not DEI. In the fire service we will work with lots of different kinds of people. Some from the big city, some from small towns. We’ll work with liberals and conservatives, […]
