This week 9 members of the Fire Department and 2 of our public safety dispatchers from the Police Dept. attended the Fire Chief's Association of Massachusetts Professional Development Conference in Worcester. This year's theme was Ignite, Adapt, Overcome: Leading in Today's Fire Service. Topics presented were wide ranging from a presentation by a Green Beret Greg Stube (Lessons learned from the battlefield), Leading in Times of Uncertainty (Jeff Butler), Calming the Chaos (Presented by Sacramento Battalion Chief Anthony Kastros), Not your Daddy's Fire Service with Dr. Nicole Sawyer. For our dispatchers topics included "What did they just say" (fire dept. communications), State Mobilization Plan (timely given the recent event at Marlborough Hospital), Saving lives on Both Sides of the Call. Lots of great information to bring back to MFD and MPD.
