In this week’s The Command Post podcast, hosts Lt. Rom Duckworth and Chief Rob Wylie discuss the fire services’ attitude toward fire-based EMS systems.
“It’s something that comes up again and again,” Lt. Duckworth said. “It leads me to think that this is the kind of thing that is bubbling under the service and definitely needs to be addressed.”
Lt. Duckworth and Chief Wylie also talk about how incident command must be played as a team sport in their frontline tactical tips segment.
“We need to work together as a team,” Chief Wylie said. “And if we approach it from that team concept, then you’re better off going into it.”
They also conduct an interview with Santa Clara County (Calif.) Fire Chief Steve Prizborowski and Dave Raines, Chief of Special Operations for IBM Worldword Research, about how to prepare for a promotion.
