SUMMARY:Webinar - Building Stronger Fire Service Teams: Leadership Lessons from Home and Abroad
DESCRIPTION:Effective team dynamics and leadership are critical to firefighter safety and operational success. This webinar explores how research-based teamwork principles and real-world experience – both in the U.S. and internationally – can strengthen fire service performance. \nKevin Quinn\, NVFC past chair and Africa Fire Mission (AFM) instructor\, and Jose Ngunjiri\, AFM Fire Safety Officer based in Kenya\, will share lessons learned from training fire services across Africa\, highlighting leadership\, communication\, and trust in high-risk\, resource-limited environments. Amber Lynn Scott from the University of Kentucky will also share initial research on team dynamics and its relevance to volunteer and combination departments. \nParticipants will also gain insight into how U.S. firefighters can engage in meaningful international training efforts while bringing practical leadership and teamwork lessons back to their home departments. \nPresenters: Nancy Moore\, José Ngunjiri\, Kevin Quinn\, and Amber Lynn Scott
