Some of the best lessons we learn in the fire service come from the kitchen table.  We have debates, discussions, and even sometimes arguments about where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going.  Regardless of the topic or how heated the debate, one thing is for sure…many times these lessons are the ones we remember.  We gain different perspectives that allow us to get a more well-rounded view of the topic(s) of the day.  Some from our newest member and many from our older ones.

Today we sit down with retired Lieutenant Jose Garcia.  Jose remains one of the CSFD’s most respected and beloved leaders even after retirement.  During our conversation we hear a few stories about who he learned the most from and how he views being a leader in our organization.

As always, come sit down at the Kitchen Table and have a listen, be ready to learn, and enjoy as we talk shop with our friend, Jose Garcia.

Music For This Episode:

If you have any topics that you would like us to discuss, please contact either Josh or I in the Training Division.  You can either participate in creating the Podcast or we can put it together on our own.  Also, we would be more than happy to come to your station to sit down at your kitchen table and talk about whatever is on your mind.

Thank you all for listening and we hope to hear from you soon.
