Fire/EMS had the privilege of hosting the National Fire Academy (NFA) 2-day class, Fire Safety Culture: Who Protects Firefighters from Firefighters, this week. This class is designed to help fire service personnel identify their present fire service safety culture, explain how culture drives safety behavior, identify risk management strategies, and develop a fire service safety culture intervention plan to reduce injury and death to firefighters in their respective organizations. In addition to several of our own members, fire service personnel from surrounding departments attended the class. The NFA only supports six direct delivery classes in Kansas annually. We are extremely proud to have the opportunity to host two of these classes this year, with the second class scheduled for August 2021.
