Transition Drill
237. Fire Department's First Female Chief: She Wouldn't Back Down and They Forced Her Out. Deena Lee

Transition Drill

Retired Fire Chief Deena Lee, in Episode 237 of the Transition Drill Podcast, talks about leadership under pressure, being a woman in the fire service, and the messy reality of transition, behind a forced retirement, when you don't get to leave on your own timeline. Deena grew up in Long Beach. Her parents divorced when she was young. Her dad was a Marine and Vietnam veteran, and later in life they reconnected in a way that shaped how she thinks about integrity and service. She describes a Gen X, latchkey childhood where she felt “parentified” and responsible early, including a moment as a kid where she stepped in to help a stranger when the adults froze. After high school she followed the “safe” path she was told to want: marriage, kids, stability. It didn't fit. She left, became a single mom, took an EMT class to be more capable for her kids, and found she was good at it. In 1996 she worked as an ER tech at Long Beach Memorial, surrounded by firefighter paramedics who nudged her toward ride-alongs. She did them. Something clicked. She changed her major to fire science, volunteered with a department, and started gaining experience. She took 13 tests to be a firefighter before she finally got hired full-time in 2003. From there, it's the real career arc: small-department politics, proving yourself, and promoting fast. Deena became a captain with just over four years on the job and talks candidly about the resistance, the back-channel commentary, and the leadership mistakes she had to learn in public. She also breaks down the isolation of being a solo female and how that drove her to build community for other women through the Women's Fire Alliance, including mentor and text support groups for the day-to-day realities of the job.Then comes the part every veteran and first responder will recognize: senior leadership. As an at-will fire chief, she says she was pushed out early, forced to “pack the parachute” on the way out. Her first day included a city council setup meant to get her to publicly support cutting an engine company. She refused, and she paid for it. Nearly three years later, she's still processing the transition, and she's using what she learned to help other women carry less out the door than she did.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10

The crew debates a firehouse classic: If most of our calls are EMS, should most of our training be EMS? With departments running 80%+ medical calls in many areas, is it time to shift focus—or double down on fire because it's high-risk and low-frequency?EMS isn't going anywhere.Call volume continues trending heavily medical. Fires are decreasing due to prevention, codes, and education.Train for high-acuity on both sides.Even if you run EMS daily, you still need reps on cardiac arrests, strokes, trauma, airway management, and rare presentations. Same logic as training for low-frequency, high-risk fire incidents.Service is service.Whether it's a working structure fire or grandma on the floor, we're there to solve problems. The public expects professionalism no matter the call type.Jack of all trades? Good.The fire service is an all-hazards profession. Being competent across fire, EMS, rescue, and prevention is the job.For new firefighters:You're signing up for both. You'll pull hose and you'll run 12-leads.

After leading some of the nation's largest fire departments — from Hialeah and El Paso to Orange County and Seminole County — Otto Drozd has learned one truth about leadership: listen first, act second. In this episode, Otto shares how humility, trust, and culture shape effective leadership. He discusses his journey from being the youngest chief in his city's history to now serving as Executive Secretary of the Metropolitan Fire Chiefs Association, guiding leaders around the world. Otto reflects on the importance of adapting leadership styles to fit each department's needs, honoring history while driving progress, and creating a space for chiefs to share and solve their greatest challenges. If you want to learn what real servant leadership looks like — from the station floor to the international stage — this episode is for you.

PREVIEW: Palisades Fire Scandal: Allegations of LA Fire Department Negligence and Cover-Up Guest: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss reports on new information revealed in an amended lawsuit filed against state and city entities regarding the massive Pacific Palisades fire that started on January 1st and burned through January 2nd. The revelation, coming ten or eleven months after the incident, is that firemen on the scene saw the smoldering fire but were obliged to leave. Whistleblowers and radio transmissions confirmed that the fire department was called off the original fire and sent home despite firemen recognizing the danger: the fire was still smoldering, abundant vegetation was present, and high winds were forecast. Because firefighters drove away from the smoldering fire, it reignited on January 6th, leading to the massive conflagration that destroyed an entire neighborhood. Bliss notes that the lawsuit is expected to be a "real bloodbath" because it points to negligence by the LA Fire Department and the state of California. It remains unknown whether the mayor or governor knew about the decision to pull the fire department from the scene.
