Hey everyone, I’m glad you’re here. I started this community to help firefighters like you build strong, sustainable, and rewarding careers in the fire service. After more than 30 years in the fire service, I’ve worked my way from firefighter to chief. Along the way, I learned a lot—about leadership, training, health, and what it really takes to grow in this career without burning out. This group is built to share that knowledge, experience, and mentorship so you don’t have to figure it all out the hard way. Whether you’re just starting your journey or you’ve got years on the job and are preparing for your next promotion, you’re in the right place. Here’s What I have a vision for covering in our Group: - Career Growth & Promotion Prep: Learn the steps to move up the ranks with confidence. - Training & Skill Development: Stay sharp, safe, and ready for the job. - Leadership Lessons: Real-world insights from decades in command and instruction. - Health & Wellness: Build habits that keep you strong for the long haul. - Firefighter Mindset: The mental side of longevity, resilience, and purpose. These are my ideas, what are yours? Jump on and let me know! The first step is to go the the "Classroom" Tab above and open the "Start Here" Welcome, Roger
