The Professional Volunteer Fire Department: John Buckman III

Tom Merrill

Host Tom Merrill is joined by John Buckman III to discuss his recently published book, What I’ve Learned So Far…Leading and Managing Volunteers

The chief will pass on valuable lessons learned and offer a lot of sage advice drawn from his 50 plus years of volunteer fire service experience, including 35 years serving as Chief of Department. This is a must listen to episode for all members of the volunteer fire service as the chief shares some very candid observations and even recommendations for what must be done in today’s volunteer fire departments to ensure a successful future.
