What are the short and long term effects of line of duty deaths on a fire department? In this episode Johnny #jobtlks explores that question. He brings on Chiefs Ed and Mike Carroll to discuss the 95’ LODD of Stoughton Fireman Victor Melendy. Near and dear to the hearts of everyone, we discuss how Victors ultimate sacrifice became a driving force for change in the entirety of the organization, and the stark contrast from where we were then, to where we are now.
In the Fire Service, it often takes a tragedy for change to come about. In preparation for this episode and looking back through the studies from this tragedy I was able to learn about the history and lineage of the Stoughton Fire Department. Fortunately for me and the men and women I have gotten hired with, we have benefitted tremendously from the hard work that has come before us, and I was happy to be able to really learn from, and about the past. “You can’t really know where you are going, until you know where you have been.” Keeping this message present in my head, we hope to encourage others to look back and see all of the “Why’s” of their departments, and take a proactive stance instead of a reactive one.
Chief Mike Carrol adds to the JobTlks book shelf with a very good recommendation of the book “Find Your Why” by Simon Sinek. This book is not specific for Fire Fighters, but is an invaluable resource on how to restructure your own life or the culture of an organization, which is the main goal of the Jobtlks Podcast. Chief Carrol explains his take on this book and how it has shaped his philosophy and his plans for the future of Stoughton Fire Department.
