- Chief,
I was in my "office" doing some paperwork and came across a statement you had made in a letter to Fire Engineering. The comment struck me, and I wanted to see if you would be interested in elaborating on its context for me.
The comment was in a letter titled "The Bad Apples" and was printed in the Feb.08 magazine. You mentioned you had made a presentation and stated "...there is nothing new to learn about why firefighters die...”
I’m curious, what was the topic of the presentation? Do you have a presentation built around this quote? I envision this quote as in introduction to a situational awareness class (or something similar).
If you would please contact me via admin@indianafirenews.com , I find this quote both intriguing and profound and a great basis for something more.
Thanks for all you do Chief!

I recently went through a rough situation at my department in Alexandria, IN. If it wasn't for your article on Criticism :How to dish it out, and How to take it. I was very discouraged and had to take a some self inventory. Your article made me open my selfish mind. Thanks again.

David Ebel said… - Greetings,
Please allow me to invite you to a site designed by responders for responders... the crew that is doing it is CISM multilevel trained and are there for the guys after the bad calls. It helps the responders that do not yet have a team or would be worried that they asking for help would be seen as weakness. Please join and share it when you can. As a chaplain with over 25 years of service to fire departments I am excited with it's potential to provide support.
