The Eight Functions of Authenticity

Become a more genuine human & an engaged leader with these achievable goals.

BY JOHN VANCE

In 2008, Colerain Township (Ohio) Fire & EMS Department Captain Robin Zang Broxterman, 37, and Firefighter Brian Schira, 29, died in the line of duty when the floor they were on collapsed into the burning basement at a residential fire.

We talk to Fire Chief Allen Walls about the recovery process after this LODD and the department’s implementation of Blue Card. Chief Walls will be presenting on this incident at the 2023 Hazard Zone Conference.
