"Retired" Fire Chief Scott Goldstein joins us on the show to recount his 30+ years in the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service, including eight years as its Fire Chief. We say "retired" because Chief Goldstein is actually still on the job! He currently serves as Fire Chief of Cowlitz 2 Fire and Rescue in Kelso, Washington.
Chief Goldstein has lots of great insights to share about his time in Montgomery County, and especially about his time as the fire chief. His mentality towards being the chief was entirely geared toward providing the men and women he led with the tools necessary to be ready to serve the citizens who made the 911 call, and being there to support the families of the firefighters staffing the rigs and working behind the scenes.
Being the fire chief of any organization comes with unique challenges...one of which is that you're never truly "off the clock." Chief Goldstein talks about that and many other tough realities of being THE chief.
