Mandatory Fitness Assessment, So What?
Episode description
Another Fire Prevention Week has come and gone. Did you know that the Great Chicago Fire was NOT the worst thing to happen that week? The Peshtigo fire is still known as the most destructive fire with an even higher death count than the Chicago fire.
Then I talk about the newly implemented mandatory fitness test for the Decatur Alabama Fire Department. FireRescue1 posted a story with the details and I summarize it with some thoughts of my own about the tough decisions to expose some of your friends.
Lastly we're running through a commonly used model for decision making, and post incident review. What? So What? Now What? is known as the critical reflection model, among other names, and can be awesome for handling conversations at the firehouse table, decisions on the street, and even debating your departments direction.
