One of our own full timers Melanie Thornburg attended this conference!

The 3rd Annual Leadership Conference is in the books!

Over the last 48 hours, I've had the chance to step back and reflect on our conference and what an awesome experience it was. A weekend full of learning, mentoring, and genuine camaraderie.

What stood out most was how quickly a group of individuals became a unified team. Within hours, we formed a fire department bond. We trained hard, trusted one another, and built an environment that truly fostered growth, where people felt safe to push themselves and improve.

At the start of the conference, I talked about the saying, "who sent me." Now reflecting on the weekend, I see it as - We're sending each other. Carrying with us the responsibility to honor the PAST; to educate, mentor, and inspire the PRESENT; and to shape a FUTURE that leaves a meaningful and positive impact.

Be safe and see you all soon!

Members spent the morning testing fire hose. This ensures that it will function properly when needed most. It also helps with the insurance rating for the city.
