April 9, 2013, Calgary, Alta. – The planning for this trip to Peace River started in November when I heard from Fire Chief Lance Bushie, who invited me to big-sky country for the 2013 Northwest Fire Conference.

April 9, 2013, Toronto – The tragic, fatal fire in East Gwillimbury, Ont., on March 29 has led to some discussion in my circles about municipal boundaries and seamless fire protection. Is seamless fire protection possible? Should the closest station respond to the call no matter which municipality it is in? Should fire be a regional or provincial responsibility so that local boundaries are eliminated?

April 5 2013, Yorkton, Sask. - The Saskatchewan Association of Fire Chiefs conference in Yorkton is well underway, with networking, fellowship and exchange of ideas occurring over the next two days. It also turns out that today is my anniversary date in the fire service and tomorrow I begin my 32nd year in the profession.

April 4, 2013, Toronto – The tragic loss of four lives in a house fire last week in East Gwillimbury, Ont., has drawn predictably sensational coverage by mainstream media. Finally, after Ontario Fire Marshal Ted Wieclawek clarified at a press conference yesterday that the response time of the volunteer firefighters in East Gwillimbury was not a contributing factor in the four deaths, there is some accuracy to the reporting.

April 2, 2013, Prince Albert, Sask. – There is little doubt that the success of any fire department is dependent upon the attitude of its leaders. Whether a career, combination or volunteer department, the attitude that prevails is quickly observable in the way staff conduct themselves.

April 1, 2013, Waubaushene, Ont. – Thirty-five years is a long time to be committed to any one thing. I would have been about six years old when my buddy Jimmy joined the fire department. That’s hard to believe. What’s harder to fathom is that he has been on the fire department for almost as long as I’ve been on this earth. How’s that for putting things into perspective?

April 1, 2013, Redwood Meadows, Alta. – My last blog was a preview of the Canadian Association of Fire Chief’s (CAFC) government relations week. It was a busy week of meetings with MPs and government officials, not to mention lots of time spent with other Canadian fire chiefs discussing issues important to the Canadian fire service.
