The Challenge We Face As Firefighters

DEAR UP & COMING FIREFIGHTER:

Are You Facing Any of These Crippling Challenges
to Your Growth as a Firefighter Like I Was?

1- Poor Leadership
2- Poor Guidance
3- Poor Attitudes
4- Poor Disciplines
5- Lack of Accountability
6- Lack of Experience
7- Living in Our Own Bubble

Don't End Up Miserable or Not Reaching Your Potential

If you are like me then you want to reach your God-Given potential as a firefighter. The problem is as a firefighter we don’t always get to choose where we are firefighters or who our officers are and we are dealing with 1 or more of the 7 crippling challenges.

What is going to happen if we continue on this path?

What is your firefighter career and life going to look like?

Are you frustrated like I was?

Are you hurting like I was?

If it hasn’t happened already, you can end up in a miserable situation and hate going to the firehouse. You will get stressed out and burned-out. (Are you already there?)

Firefighter burn-out and suicides are at an all-time high. Why? What can we do for ourselves and others? (See Strategy #9)

THERE IS HOPE with Firefighter Preplan!

Do you want to know how these other greats in our business do it?

Are you looking for the mental tools of great firefighters like I was?

I have been on a mission for 20+ years searching for what it takes to be a great and respected firefighter and leader. How to successfully respond to the calling of being a firefighter and how to weather the career storms that we must go through as firefighters both on the job and in life.

Now, 20+ years later including 100’s of interviews with great and respected firefighters, leaders and thought-leaders (Like those on Firefighter Toolbox Podcast), testing the findings both in the station, in life and on the fire ground, and finally, Firefighter Preplan has been born.

Firefighter Preplan is NOT:

Firefighter Preplan is:

Firefighter Preplan is “Tested & Approved"

Now, like never before, you have the opportunity to learn what the best of the best in our business do no matter where you live, where you are stationed, what your gender is or nationality. No more limits. Learn the attitudes, mindsets, behaviors, strategies and tactics of great firefighters. Implement them. Make an impact on the fire service and the world!

I wish David had written this book 15 years ago! When I first hired on to a full time fire department, I had no fire or EMS experience, and a book like this would’ve made a fantastic map of good roads to travel on, pitfalls to avoid, and lessons to learn. Required reading for anyone, career or volunteer, who is serious about the fire service and making their way in it.
