Fire departments around the U.S. are approaching a tipping point.
At the same time career departments are seeing a drop in applicants, they’re also losing existing firefighters.
This is a problem.
Once upon a time, not so long ago, it was tough to get a job in the fire department.
But now, fewer people line up for those spots.
Maybe it’s generational, maybe it’s just a natural cycle and it’ll change.
Or maybe it’s something more.
Here to discuss that with me is Dr. Reggie Freeman.
He’s the chief risk officer for the HAI Group, based in Cheshire, Connecticut. He’s served as the fire chief of three departments: Oakland, California, Hartfort, Connecticut and Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. He’s also a member of the board of directors of the NFPA.
