Lt. Nick Hilton

This week’s Wednesday Box Alarm talks about why it is important to own your mistakes. We all mess up along our journey in the fire service. When we are brand new or when we are 20 years in, none of us are perfect all of the time. So, when we make a mistake, do we pawn the blame off to someone else or something else? Or, do we own the mistake and learn from it?

And if you’re new to the show, buckle in because this is a topic I am passionate about. I believe that it plays a big role in firefighter retention and keeping members active. Take a listen.

It’s time we make their jobs easier, and here are some tips on how we can do that.

This week’s show is a little different. Nick Hilton was a guest on a different podcast. The show is called The Professional Volunteer Podcast, hosted by Chief Brian Soller. Nick had the opportunity to be the guest on Episode 7 of The Professional Volunteer Podcast. Chief Brian Soller has a good thing going here and we hope to do some more shows with him in the future, including having him as a guest on the BAR podcast.

This is not to be confused with the Professional Volunteer Fire Department podcast hosted by Chief Tom Merrill. We had him as a guest on our show a few months ago. Two great podcasts hosted by two very knowledgable Fire Chiefs.
