‘Mission first, people always’: Chief Randy Royal on his leadership mindset
Update: 2024-10-10
Description
Colorado Springs Fire Chief Randy Royal was recently named the IAFC’s Career Fire Chief of the Year – and there are a lot of reasons why. Chief Royal details some of the innovative programs happening at the department – a tiered EMS model, mental health support initiatives, a whole blood program, and a unique approach to PPE distribution and cleaning – plus what it’s been like to bring online two new stations and secure an AFG grant to support member health. We dig into all of this and more:
- Royal’s perspective on balancing your members and your mission
- The EMS program that has dropped transports of their “most loyal customers” from 100% to 15%
- Lessons learned from the 2007 Castle West apartment fire where firefighters made 85 ladder rescues
- Why the fire department is putting hard-wired phone lines back in the stations
