Leadership isn’t a tangible item to hold, rather, it is an attitude and a way of living your life. Leaders are dependent on two sources to help them make sound decisions in the station and on the fire ground – EXPERIENCE and TRAINING. In today’s world, we are seeing fewer and fewer fires, and experiencing unacceptable levels of poor judgment, injuries and line-of-duty deaths. In the absence of EXPERIENCE, when it comes time to make decisions, many times all we have to fall back on is TRAINING.
