Bridging The Gap:
There has always been a divide between generations. Placing blame on the new kids or not valuing the blood, sweat, and tears of the older generation can cause a communication disconnect. As today's world passes by faster than ever before, finding common ground between generations is imperative to ensure a cohesive culture in our fire companies. In order to"Bridge The Gap", we must understand the cultural relevance of each generation and how they complement each other. Eliminating the finger pointing and finding commonality and mutual respect is the core mission of this presentation. Understanding the disconnect and knowing how to combat this issue is the key to building a successful culture from the bottom up and the top down. Nevertheless, beware; this hard hitting presentation will also focus on the individual. Discussing integrity, character, accountability, and ownership for your actions on the job and in your personal life. In order to be a part of the process, we must focus on ourselves, and understand where we fit in throughout this process. "Bridging The Gap" is designed to challenge the audience and engage with live interaction. This program will get the conversation started but ultimately, it is up to US, the fire service, to make this all work to ensure we protect the sanctity of our craft.
Jeremy Donch is a 29 year student of the fire service. Riding with a suburban volunteer department in New Jersey, his passion for the job continues to fuel his growth. As a second generation firefighter, he grew up in the firehouse and immersed himself in the importance of tradition and culture. Protective of the past while finding ways to communicate with today's firefighters, Jeremy founded National Fire Radio in 2018. National Fire Radio has become a leader in the social media and podcast channels of today's fire service. Continuing the mission of preservation of the traditions and culture of the fire service remains the core focus of National Fire Radio.
