5 years ago Lt. Nick Hilton

This week’s Wednesday Box Alarm brings up positivity again. It is so easy to get wrapped up in rumors, drama, gossip and negativity in your fire department. Where does all of this come from? What can be done to prevent it? It is time we all start figuring out how and when to influence positivity in our fire department. Negativity spreads, but so does positivity.

072 – Wednesday Box Alarm – Mentorship Series

5 years ago Lt. Nick Hilton

This week’s Wednesday Box Alarm comes to you a little late. Because of the holiday season, we will not be on schedule for the next week or so. But, what we are going to do is a series of episodes geared toward mentorship. Mentorship is critical in the fire service. Everyone can be a mentor and everyone most likely has had a mentor. So, to kick this series off we want you to go to our facebook page and find the post about Mentorship. In the comments list three people who have mentored you over the years. Tag them if they are on Facebook or just list their names if they are not or no longer with us. But, list the names and after each name write a brief explanation of how they mentored you. Once you do that, the next thing we want you to do is thank those individuals for their mentorship. Whether it is in person, on the phone, text, email, social media post or whatever…if they are still with us in this amazing world, let them know how much you appreciate their mentorship.

070 – Wednesday Box Alarm – Training Ideas?

5 years ago Lt. Nick Hilton

This week’s Wednesday Box Alarm was inspired by the DTFF Down to Fight Fire Volunteer Firefighter’s Podcast. They are always showing their training ideas in videos and talking about their training evolutions in their podcast episodes. It inspired me to create a form for you all to submit and share your creative and your routine training evolutions for the other’s to see and execute in their own agency.

069 – Balance and Communication with Jennifer Hilton

5 years ago Lt. Nick Hilton

On this week’s full length episode Nick Hilton sits down with his wife, Jennifer Hilton. She came up with a list of 8 tips for the firefighter and his or her partner to establish balance and communication for the fire service and family life. It is easy to get overwhelmed with the fire service, answering calls, attending meetings, trainings and events. We forget that we need to develop a balance between the fire department and family. Communication is the key to this.
