Safety Is the Destination: Fireground Decisions, Training, and Leadership
In this episode of The Command Post, hosts Rick Lasky and John Salka discuss the evolving fire service culture with a focus on safety, training, and leadership. They reflect on decades of experience from departments throughout the United States. And they share personal stories that highlight the critical balance between aggression and caution on the fireground. The discussion challenges the “we’re number one” mindset by emphasizing preparation and continuous training as the true path to keeping firefighters safe. From cutting-edge technology like drones and thermal imaging to the simple fundamentals of gear checks and accountability, Lasky and Salka explain why training isn’t an optional extra—it’s the foundation for safe, effective operations.
