Firefighters are trained to size up a scene.

We assess conditions.
We identify hazards.
We make decisions.
We adjust when conditions change.

But do we use that same mindset when it comes to ourselves?

CJ Dickinson's “Size-Up Within” takes the tactical decision-making firefighters already understand on the fireground and applies it to personal mental wellness.

This isn't about stepping away from who you are as a firefighter.
It's about using the skills you've already developed, awareness, assessment, decision-making, and adaptation, to better understand what's happening within.

Because knowing how to read the fireground matters.

So does knowing how to read yourself.

You don’t need another weekend where everyone tells you what you already believe.

Come ready to listen.
Come ready to challenge your own thinking.
Come ready to hear a different perspective.
Come ready to have the conversation.

You might not agree with everything you hear.

That’s okay.

Growth doesn’t come from having all the answers. It comes from being willing to ask better questions.

Training isn't something you check off the calendar.

J.E. Henthorn and Eddie Cox are bringing a hard look at what it actually takes to develop training programs that prepare firefighters for the job and what it takes to get members to take ownership of their own development.

Because hoping your people are ready isn't a training strategy.

This session will challenge leaders to look at how they're building training, how they're holding members accountable, and whether their current approach is actually preparing their department for the real thing.

Hope Is Not A Strategy.

Come ready to rethink how you train.

If your department faced a Line of Duty Death tomorrow, would you know what happens next?

When tragedy happens, there’s no time to start figuring out the process.

Departments need to understand what comes next, from PSOB and beneficiary designation to local, state, and federal benefits, and the importance of documenting exposures and incidents before they’re needed.

At Fire & Foliage, Mark Klose will walk through the preparation that can make a difference when your department and your people need it most.

Because being prepared for a LODD isn't about expecting tragedy.

It's about making sure you're not trying to figure it out in the middle of one.

Every department has the conversation that keeps getting pushed off.

The question about leadership.
The question about training.
The question about your people.
The question about where your department goes next.

Maybe it’s uncomfortable. Maybe there isn’t an easy answer.

Bring it anyway.

Fire & Foliage is built for real conversations, not just sitting in a room and taking notes.

What’s the question you’re bringing with you?
