The IAFF/IAFC WFI Task Force meeting was held in Washington, DC this week. The WFI is 26 years old, recognized in NFPA standards, and continues to be the most comprehensive resource to support fire fighter wellness & fitness. #IAFFWFI

Thank you brothers
The Professional Firefighters of Independence would like to offer our condolences to the members of IAFF Local 3133, Central Jackson County Fire and EMS, for the loss of one of their members yesterday evening.
Chief Bruno on the excellent service provided by fire departments. When you call, we ask two questions: Where are you? & What's the matter? Then, we show up, fix the problem, & leave.

Afghanistan. After al-Qaeda terrorists attacked us on 9/11, brave warriors, special forces quickly deployed to defeat al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. They accomplished their mission rapidly and effectively. THAT is when they should have returned home.

When an incident allows, take some time to just watch. Don’t watch to scrutinize or critique but to see the wonderment of a successful incident and you will also be quickly reminded of why you first signed up to do this job we call Firefighter.

The system is down again today. Going on day 2 with system down and no response from anyone at @CrewSense or @TargetSolutions. – at Blue Springs, MO
🛠️System issue update The programming team is continuing to work on the planned fix, and we are making significant progress. We are hopeful for a resolution soon.
Chief Bruno on what a Chief Officer's focus should be on the fireground. The big picture stuff: How long the fire has been burning, are we winning or losing, are the structural elements of the building being compromised, what's the status of the searches/life safety profile, etc.
