Why are fires in bow-string truss occupancies so dangerous? There are many questions in the fire service. I may not always know the answer to the question, "why..." but I'll find out the answer.

You can't judge a great leader by their salary, or how many years of experience they have under their belt — that's only part of the picture and not even a telling one at that.

One of the most significant ways a leader can impact their business is through the quality of their hiring, yet this is rarely listed as a critical leadership competency and often overlooked.
