Recruiting on Fire

You can be exposed to it anytime, in just about any place. From the station bays to the backroads, it’s in serious conversations all across America. And it will directly affect the future of your volunteer fire department. Every effort for growth is incapacitated from this non-suspecting and seemingly innocuous word... ‘inevitable’. Why is inevitable such a problem? This mindset can stall even the most intentional forward motion. After all, why do anything if what will be, will be... one day.

We celebrate the first responder when they join, but never take a close look at support personnel. With a strategic vision, what if you could advertise and identify potential MVP's with the expertise you need to survive?  Grantwriters, PR Pros, marketers and more can be major contributors if you find them. Learn the secret to recognizing and reaching the right admin members with the right message. 

The volunteers are no where to be found. Or closing the doors is just inevitable. What about our leader? He's worthless. The climate and conversations within your station reveal a much bigger problem. One that will no doubt lead to demise if not addressed company-wide. While some external challenges are very real, you do have control over the internal crisis. Learn these seven critical elements for fire system survival.

America’s first responders are facing a crisis... But it’s not the volunteer that’s missing. It’s the vision, and message of today’s fire service. Toxic and resigned or united and committed. How you respond is critical. Burning answers and leading voices on vision and leadership that will set your Recruiting on Fire. Recruiting on Fire is a podcast of www.firemedia.tv. Helping you attract, inform and engage your next generation volunteer recruit.
