This week’s episode features a list of ways all of us can learn our coverage district while doing out day to day routines. We drive to and from work, we run errands, we spend time outside enjoying our hobbies and we go out for breakfast, lunch or dinner. These are the times we should be observing and taking in what is around us.

This episode was something we have been working on for quite a while and was originally going to be two separate shows. However, due to an unknown technical defect the audio came out like below our standard. We strive to always give our audience quality material, but due to situations beyond out control our recordings came out like crap. But, we encourage you to listen to this extra-long episode even though we don’t sound as clear as usual.

Why is it extra long? Well, because we couldn’t possibly upload two separate shows in a row with terrible quality. You all deserve better than that.

So, this show highlights two articles. One written by Jack Kline of Syracuse.com titled “Make volunteer firefighting fun again”. The second, written by Ed Dolan is titled “19 Ways to slow the bleed in the Volunteer Fire Service”.

The 2nd half of the show is our Ask us Anything episode where we answer questions from you, our listeners.

Please come back next week for an episode with better quality!

Every weekend members from all over the region would travel to musters and compete for trophies. Today, there are very few of these left.

This week’s episode focuses on five things we should all be focusing on to retain the members that we already have. We focus a lot on recruitment, but often forget that we need to retain the members we already have to grow the overall experience level of our membership. With Leadership, Morale, Empowerment, Self-Starters and Developing Solutions, we believe we can improve overall retention efforts within all fire departments.
