Wow, east L.A. sleeps today. It has not happened in a long time since I have worked a full shift and not gone on one run. We did go out and drilled in the morning. We talked about roof operations and brush fire fighting. Its a young crew here at Fire Station 12 and they have a lot to learn.
The reason it is a young crew I found out is because of the Captain II that normally works here. He has run all the experienced firefighters out. It was said that on his first day here he called all the firefighters in the front office and told them he had an open door policy. If they had any problems or needed to talk to him he would listen and then tell them how he wanted it done. It was his way and his way only. Not a real good way to win the trust of your crew. This is a good lessen in leadership. Don’t make you crew hate you before you get started.
