Month one complete for duty crews. It was a interesting first month as we look to improve our response and time management for many fire fighters. For me personally, I think I ended up spending significantly more time “working” in the duty crew model. Now that we are tracking hours I know I recorded 104 hours plus another dozen or so of unlogged hours. I love it but I do have maintain a balance which is really the toughest part of being an officer (lead by example)..but when it is something you love doing it makes it much easier.
I started the month with a plane crash and ended the month with a house fire. In between there were only a handful of calls.
