Welcome to the Firefighter Leadership Community
Firefighter Leadership Academy: Career Growth • Promotion Prep • Officer Development
The Firefighter Leadership Community is a professional development group built for firefighters who want more than just a job — they want a career, a promotion pathway, and the leadership mindset of a future fire officer.
This community is led by Roger Waters, a 32-year fire service veteran, Chief Officer, mentor, instructor, and career strategist who has spent decades hiring, promoting, training, and developing the next generation of fire service leaders.
You’re not learning theory, you're learning directly from someone who has lived it. From firefighter to Chief.
Who This Community Is For?
This is for firefighters who are:
- Serious about long-term career growth
- Preparing for promotion (Engineer, Lieutenant, Captain, BC)
- Looking for guidance, mentorship, and leadership development
- Wanting to understand fire service culture at a deeper level
- Tired of guessing their next step
- Ready to invest in becoming a respected, confident fire service leader
If you’re ambitious, motivated, and committed to becoming your best — this is where you belong.
