The Mission Of The Englewood Fire Department

I have been a part of different activities for my community service. I have helped the TLC preschool afterschool with cleaning tables and toys once all the children have gone home. I have also been to the shelly baird school where they disabled kids go for schooling and helped out there with the students doing their work and played games .I am currently in “Dude Be Nice Club” and recently we participated in project night night where we would gather donated security blankets a book or stuffed animal and deliver them to children who have very little in homeless shelters. My community service in this case helped me realize that there are people out there who need some encouragement to help them get back on their feet and realize in life that

The Royal Canadian Air Cadets is an example of a community activity that I have actively taken many leadership roles in. Having served the Royal Canadian Air Cadets for more than four years with the 540 Golden Hawks Squadron, I partake in various activities. I have also learned numerous invaluable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and confidence, all of which are not spoon-fed to us, but rather acquired from the experiences that I have been through with cadets. We are constantly coached and supervised by Officers who encourage us to lead others. As we age and climb up the ranks, we are encountered with many leadership opportunities that we are strongly encouraged to take.

Inherently the fire service operates in high-risk environments to facilitate the role of preserving life safety and property conservation. How these incidents are managed and safeguarded by our administration

My community leadership has been based in and around my school. My leadership ranges from teaching a cosmetology course at my school to planning events. It has helped me manage my time, allow to learn how to research efficiently and has taught me how to better communicate with those around me. I have met new and exciting people and have been given opportunities i wouldn't have received had I not gone to the school i am at.

For my community service, I have been going to Lyndon B. Johnson Head Start Program, or LBJ. At LBJ, it is my responsibility to look after children and clean up after them. The teachers there set up many activities for the kids to work on, most of the time they finger paint. The teachers also set up small field trips. For example, we once went on a field trip to a house that had set up a pumpkin patch and many other activities for the kids. The house we went to wasn’t very far from LBJ. The children had so much fun choosing a pumpkin and playing different games, and I had fun helping them and taking care of them.

Service in the school and community is an insight to your character and work ethic. I have over 20 hours of community service from many different experiences. Last summer I worked for Camp Barakel, a summer camp, in the kitchen. I assisted in serving food and cleaning. I learned discipline and teamwork through this valuable experience. Not only this I’ve worked with the Elderly in Rehabilitation centers and the patience and nurturing qualities is something that will forever be valuable in my life. Last but not least working as Big Sister or Buddy to a 4th grade girl has given me the chance to positively impact and influence her life as simply as having a friend is immense. All of these service opportunities as added to my character and prepared me for the responsibilities of

One of the first real leadership positions I ever had at my school was in the Hillcrest Hospital Helpers Club. I became a member my first year at Hillcrest as a sophomore and became immediately interested in their purpose as a school club. While it may sound cliché, the members of the club, and especially the leaders, wanted to make a difference through their service. We would at least monthly participate in creating art crafts and activities for the children at Shriner’s Hospital and then deliver it to them. While it may not seem much to the average person, the happiness on the children’s faces was worth all of our efforts and more.

According the website of The Glendale Fire Department in California, the mission of the department is to “protect life and property by providing the highest level of service to the community”. Every year millions of firefighters, and fire investigators take an oath similar to the mission of the Glendale Fire Department. For the most part, many of the people who take these oaths value their jobs and work tirelessly to uphold the missions of their departments. Unfortunately, there are also people such a John Orr, who take the same oath to protect life and property but instead use their position to cause devastation and destruction.

Future Business Leaders of America is a fast organization that has taught me a lot about leadership. I have held the office as secretary for our FBLA chapter for two years, and held the position as annual reporter the previous year. Myself and two other individuals created a community service project to raise money and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis; we competed at the state conference in Topeka, Kansas and received first place which qualified us to compete at the national level last summer in Atlanta, Georgia. It was an experience that I will never forget. I have also been a dedicated member of FFA for four years, I have held the position as Class vice president for three years, and I have been a member of National Honor Society for two years. National Honor Society is a service club that gives to the community and school. Service has taught me compassion and understanding. I trust that service is contagious. When people help others it can cause a chain reaction; one good deed leads to another. I enjoy helping others and realizing that I have made a positive impact on an individual’s

Based on what I read, the answer to protecting firefighter is a combination of policy, procedure implementation, and training. These are important not only to prevent death, but also to prevent any types of injuries. The Jersey City Fire Department (JCFD) trains its members on the Incident Command System and there are procedures for the members to use it (New Jersey Division of Fire Safety, 1993, p. 5). Additionally, they are trained to use the Jersey City Incident Command System (JCICS), based on the National Fire Academy’s system. Better yet, the members of the JCFD use the JCICS on all incidents. The JCICS would help to avoid miscommunication among the emergency personnel. The JCFD also provide firefighters with ladder training daily. The

The organization I served in my community service is the Englewood fire department. Serving this organization has helped me learn some great lessons to being a good leader overall. The main ones that I attained are to treat those you lead as actual people, to keep pushing yourself forward even in the face of adversity, and to look at the brighter side of life.

(Northouse, 2015) Based on that assessment of integrity, it is clear that The Leary Firefighter Foundation is a good example of Leary’s leadership integrity. He established the mission for that foundation and has stuck to it. Leary has demonstrated the ability to bring hockey players and large cooperation’s together to achieve a similar goal. Leary has been able to instill the trust in so many people from the Board of Directors to the volunteers that help keep the organization going seventeen years later. According to Antonius, “Leadership requires a particular expenditure of personal effort and energy rather than just power relations.

To address the issues in the most appropriate manner for the Southport Volunteer Fire Department, I believe that it is in the best interest of the Department to conduct a strategic plan to update the policies and procedures and to develop a long range financial plan that will allow upgrades to the current firehouse. The Department can begin to do this by reviewing its mission statement, and the policies and procedures that are in place. Everyone in the Department needs be unified on the mission and the policies that the Department will adhere to going forward. This can be conducted by using the 5-I approach of initiating, inquiring, imaging, innovating and inspiring to implement. The Department needs to bring together outside people such as

I truly enjoyed reading the material for this week 's discussion. I found it fascinating to read how these people of passion were so revered as leaders. Something I found difficult while reading the stories of these various leaders was the details of what they did within their respective industries that made them successful. Although I recognize the importance of the details, I found myself continually fanaticizing about how the many different approaches would directly translate to the fire service. Because of the uniqueness of the fire service as an industry, I found it easier to relate to themes and concepts rather than the details. 'Strengths Based Leadership ' by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie For example Simon Cooper stated: "people create memories, not things. If we ask guests what color the carpet was in their guest room, they probably won 't know. The real value comes from the ladies and gentlemen (employees) who bring that hotel to life. Ten percent is the platform, but the rest is people. (Rath & Conchie, 2008, p. 43) As I read this I couldn 't help but think of the fact that our customers in the emergency response world (fire service) likely remember more about how we treat them than what uniform we wear or what kind of apparatus we arrive in, so long as we bring true caring and compassion to their bedside. In addition Cooper 's people over platform approach was obvious in this Rath & Conchie description: "then when he talked of the night-and-day difference that a

When one asks what is the most important, skill or lesson you have learned from community service, how would one reply? Would one say humility, self-esteem, empowerment, responsibility, compassion, communication skills, or awareness? In my opinion, leadership is the most important life skill. America needs more good strong leaders, and by participating in community service kids and teens can practice being a good leader by planning and organizing donation drives, helping in a food pantry, or help serve a meal to needy people. To be a good leader one must have humility, be able to teach, inspire people, good communication skills, positive attitude, and patience. I have been able to show these skills by participating in community service.
