Weekly Scrap #370 – Jonathan Patten: Keeping Your House In Order

Jonathan brings nearly three decades in the fire service and a ton of time spent teaching and training firefighters. An instructor with Task Force One Inc. and Street-Smart Tactics, a member of the Frontier Fools, and has a passion for truck work, training, and making sure we pass this job on better than we found it.We talked some shop; truck company operations, riding assignments, ventilation, company officer responsibilities, and training with intent.We also dug into something Jonathan calls "Warehouse Management" - Keeping your own house in order. Looking inward when frustration sets in. Playing the long game. Staying mission focused. Taking care of your people. And becoming the kind of firefighter and leader you expect everyone else to be.Of course, this was The Weekly Scrap, so the Audience took us down some rabbit holes.
