Nebraska Fire Chiefs 8th Annual Fire Chief Retention, Recruitment, & Leadership Symposium
March 15, 2025 | 8:00am-4:30pm
Speaker Brian Daunt From the US Forest Service
Leaders in the fire service are routinely called upon to make decisions in hazardous and rapidly changing environments. They are tasked with bringing order where there is chaos while providing for firefighter and public safety, protecting property, and minimizing damage to natural resources. This class will echo what Brian Speaks on at Fire School for another opportunity to participate.
