Operational Readiness Begins with Leadership: Building a Safe, Healthy, and Sustainable Fire Service
Description

The health, safety, and wellness of firefighters are no longer individual responsibilities—they are leadership responsibilities. This interactive workshop is designed for company officers, chief officers, and fire service leaders who want practical strategies to improve workforce readiness, reduce risk, and build a culture that supports long-term performance both on and off the fireground.

Through a series of engaging "quick-hit" discussions led by subject matter experts, participants will explore the latest insights and best practices in nutrition and fueling, supplements, recovery and sleep, substance use, fitness, mental health, and occupational health. Attendees will leave with actionable tools, evidence-based resources, and leadership approaches they can immediately apply to support healthier firefighters, stronger crews, and more resilient organizations.
