Roll Call — Where are you at in your career?
If you’re already on the job, you’re in the right room. Drop a quick intro so the right people can find you: - Rank / assignment: (FF, Eng, LT, etc.) - Type of department: (career, combo, big city, small town) - One thing you’re working on right now: (fitness, skills, leadership, promotion, balance, etc.) - One thing you’d love input on from other career firefighters: - You don’t have to write a novel — just enough to start real conversations.And if you see someone in a similar spot as you… reach out in the comments. That’s how the strong network gets built. We need to eastablish more engagement to make this group with having for all of us! Roger
16 yrs and counting. Spent just about 7 years at my first department (smaller city outside of Orlando and very much the Wild West🤠) then moved to the city. I am going on 9 yrs with my current department. I’ve been riding backwards on a truck for the last 7 and loving the good life! ;) Currently prepping for the Engineer’s test, mostly because my Lieu is retiring and we have people promoting that have never been interior! 🤕 🫣. …looking forward to learning from you all!
