ISFSI Ethical Leadership for Fire Instructors at FDIC 2011

Greetings from Indianapolis.  As I write this, the city is filling with more than 25,000 firefighters.  It is a terrible place to be an arsonist (or a beer).  Thankfully, I am neither.   I even like bagpipes.  Life is good.  

Today I presented to the ISFSI’s new fire instructor credentialing program.  I was “the ethics guy” in the lineup, closing out a full day that featured excellent teaching by acknowledged masters: Eddie Buchanan, John Buckman, Bob Colameta, and Chris Naum.  More than a tough bunch to follow.  I confessed to some intimidation – less than I actually felt.  As usual, reality was much better than my internal projections.  These pros, and the Society membership as a whole, could not have been more welcoming.  Wow.
