There’s no space for bullying or harassment in our industry. PERIOD. Our soul purpose is to treat people w/ kindness & compassion. If we can’t do it with our co-workers, how can we do it anywhere else? Thanks to Center for Fire, Rescue & EMS Health Research for reminding of the risks & repercussions of toxic people.

Looking forward to chatting on #UCDavisLive 🎙 tomorrow about challenges posed by the growing frequency & intensity of #wildfires 🔥. How can we better prepare? What are the struggles faced by responders? And how can communities emerge more resilient in the aftermath? UC Davis

As a member of the IAFC Communications Committee, having worked with Homeland Security on #NG911 framework, co-chaired #CALFRN, & been a Governor’s appointee to the CA State 911 Advisory board - it can’t be stated any clearer: America’s lifeline (911) needs full bi-partisan support. ☎️

What’s it gonna take to change the #wildfire problem in the US? It’s more simple than you think: People taking it (🔥) seriously, people knowing it CAN happen to them, caring enough about yourself & your neighbors to do the work needed to reduce the risk... Until this happens: 🤷🏻‍♂️
