American Fire Culture Needs Gene Therapy
June 20 @ 13:00 - 15:00
FreePresented by: Dr. Burton A. Clark, EFO
Room 201
Description: The American fire culture has been a manual fire protection model based on six underlying assumptions, or DNA genes: fast, close, wet, risk, injury and death. To survive in the 21st century, fire service leadership must change our cultural paradigm to automatic fire protection that does not accept fire loss.
Objective: This workshop will help you, from firefighter to fire chief, develop strategies to address key
issues in reducing the number of firefighter and civilian injuries and deaths.
