Despite similar issues in the above areas occurring across Fire Departments across North America Chief Officers are unsupported in dealing with the challenges of running a Fire Service

You are left on an island so you seek out answers by leveraging personal & professional relationships, doing online ‘research’ and using trial and error and hoping for favourable outcomes.

 You often rely on the good people in your service to do good work without being able to provide them the tools and resources you KNOW they need.

Development opportunities for senior officers, if available, revolve around more corporate settings & therefore do little to equip you with the unique culture that is the Fire Service.

This leads to a great amount of stress, sleepless nights, wasted time, inconsistent results and potential burnout at the senior level which inevitably impacts the morale of your service if left unchecked.
