Today we pause to remember Local 332 member Captain Jeff Bowen, who fell in the line of duty on this date 8 years ago. You’re always missed, and you’re always in our thoughts.

There is a drastic shift from recognition primed decisions towards ego primed decision making!

You have to be intense, without being tense. – Joe Torre

"Good leadership requires you to surround yourself with people of diverse perspectives who can disagree with you without fear of retaliation." – Doris Kearns Goodwin

This won't be popular but when the hell are we going to get serious about reducing PREVENTABLE LODD's??!! There is NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to be a firefighter! Your life is not defined by your title. firerescuemagazine.com/content/dam/fi…

Each time a person is promoted, they’re challenged. A large adjustment for the promoted individual is learning to broaden the scope of vision. bit.ly/2IIOTHk
