Fire Chief Jason Caughey joins the team this week to reflect on the decisive themes of 2024, whether those hot topics will continue to make waves in 2025, plus the critical areas of focus for any fire service leader who’s working to support their members. Plus, we dig into all this:

  • Innovative events and forward-thinking groups driving change
  • Reimagining the debate about what it means to be safe and aggressive
  • Why fire service leaders can no longer get away with being “full of sh*t”
  • How to take proactive steps to break down silos
  • Embracing a “train ’em, trust ’em, let ’em go” mindset
