Show notes
There’s a lot going on at San Diego Fire Rescue, as we hear from Fire Chief Robert Logan and Battalion Chief David Picone with the health and safety office on this week’s Better Every Shift. The department leaders outline a host of unique programs and efforts focused on members. They also address the recent L.A. wildfires (to which San Diego sent resources), plus the debate about DEI that emerged amid the incident. Some topics we hit on the show:Recruitment: Breaking down barriers to reach potential membersWellness: FD training modeled after a Division 1 athletic programFamily dynamics: Launching a “2-in/2-out” event for couplesDEI: “No standards have changed”Outreach: Reintroducing the FD to the communityWUI fires: Game-changing weather where Mother Nature is going to winThis episode of the Better Every Shift Podcast is sponsored by TheFireStore.
