When residents call 911, they shouldn't always expect a fire truck and ambulance to show up with sirens blaring - and that's a good thing. Hear from the Colorado Springs Fire Department's Deputy Chief about new community medical response units that are going to less emergent calls in order to get the patients the right care. These latest changes impact our entire community!
This is the first episode in our upcoming 4-part series we're simply calling the “City Series.” We want to help listeners understand the roles and functions of some of the many city services - and the people who lead them - that have an impact on our everyday lives. In this first episode, we interview Randy Royal and Jayme McConnellogue with the Colorado Springs Fire Department. While it's easy to understand the first-responder nature of any local Fire Department, there is much more that happens behind the scenes to keep our city safe and care for its people. We also talk about the very real impact that working in emergency services has on these local heroes.
The Colorado Springs Fire Department has expressed a desire to have “Thinking Firefighters”. This desire has been mentioned throughout the department, at every rank. The mantra of Thinking Firefighter has become a buzzword in our department. What does it mean to be a “Thinking Firefighter”? In this episode we examine that question with Lieutenant Bryan Lynch and Driver Engineer John M. Roy. During our talk we explore topics such as leadership, expectations, and training. We also tell a few stories while trying to figure out what drives our department to achieve the goal of being thinking firefighters.

David Blankinship, Senior Technology Advisor for the Western Fire Chiefs Association and co-founder of Intterra, joined Bob for Episode 7 to discuss technology in the fire service. David started his fire service career as a Senior GIS Analyst with the Colorado Springs Fire Department. While there, he had the opportunity to be fully integrated in the department's training to understand field operations more fully, and how to “make things better”, a mantra of sorts that sticks with him still today. David was fortunate during his time at Colorado Springs to have the freedom and support to develop projects to integrate technology into operations. He speaks in this episode about the importance of field, administrative, and executive staff being willing to work collaboratively, as well as being honest with expectations and abilities, both your own and those of the people around you. David has been involved in many exciting projects, including wildfire modeling for risk assessment, tactical decision-making, and wildfire behavior. One of his goals is to provide Incident Commanders with the information they need to know before they even get to an incident using sensors and augmented reality. He acknowledges that models need more data inputs to be accurate and useful, which prompted Bob to cite a quote from George E. P. Box, “essentially all models are wrong, but some are useful”. As networks continue to be faster, more secure, and more seamless for first responders, data sharing, and collaboration is also increasing. All of this means the fire service can provide a smooth flow of information between resources to get accurate information to firefighters on the ground more quickly. We hope you enjoy this episode and listening to all the great work David is doing to advance technology in the fire service.
