Is it Ok to Criticize your Fire Department?

Send a textOf course it is, but how you do it is more important than when you do it.  If nobody had a critical thought about how we do things, we might still be feeding horses and passing buckets.  The fire service has come a long way and mostly by figuring out better ways to do stuff.If you're a newer firefighter this episode has some tips on the "right" way to talk about the weak points of your department.  But beware that the wrong way will send a clear message that you're a 2-20 or an IKE.There's some stuff for old guys too.  You know the ones who are the loudest at the table and get some good laughs poking holes in the organization but haven't offered anything in the way of suggestions or improvements.Share this episode with a whiner.Support the showAffiliate links:Rescue1CBD Use code TAILBOARD for 15% off Frontline Optics use code TAILBOARD for 15% offFourth Frontier.com Use code FFTailboard for 25% discount on the X2 strapAthletic Brewing- Code TTFP10Submit topics/request guests Thank you for listening and let's all keep working to be more capable and durable both on shift and away from it.
