Podcast: The Professional Volunteer Fire Department

Tom Merrill

In this podcast, Host Tom Merrill is joined by  Chief Richard Ray, author of the highly acclaimed presentation “The Volunteer Fire Department-Wining on the Fireground”

Chief Ray will be discussing many great ideas we can all implement in our hometown departments to not only handle emergency calls, but to put together a well-focused, well-energized, unified team committed to excellence. Because his response area was also in the path of recent Hurricane Dorian and last year’s Hurricane Florence, Chief Ray will also discuss steps taken by his agencies to be better prepared to handle weather emergencies such as those.
