What's Your Plan? It's Okay to Care About Each Other!

 

How often do you consider the oath you took when you came into this profession? Are we really fulfilling our commitment as servants? Are we putting in the hard work that it takes to be successful? What type of example are we setting for others to follow? This course will give insight to these questions and produce a better understanding of personal motivation that leads to relationship-based inspiration for others to follow. 

Thank you to our sponsors

We certainly hope that you are planning to join us next Tuesday, February 1, 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm for Firefighters Recognition Day & Legislative Appreciation Dinner for the opportunity to pay tribute to our fire service community and connect with our state’s elected officials. 

 

Commendations to award recipients of the Georgia State Firefighters Association, Georgia Association of Fire Chiefs, Georgia Fire Investigators Association and Georgia Fire Inspectors Association will be delivered. After the ceremony, be prepared to have the best barbecue you have ever tasted, thanks to the expert cooks from the Vienna Fire Department!
