I'm excited to have Jenny Grima on the SCRAP! From fireground operations and training to leadership and the challenges that come with this job!

📅 Tuesday, October 13th

Jenny is a Lieutenant, Firefighter/Paramedic, and certified health coach who has been serving in the fire service since 2016, including seven years in Special Operations. She has experience teaching nationally with On Scene Training Associates and has served as a lead HOT instructor at FDIC.

Just some of the topics we covered; firefighter body mechanics, women in the fire service, building confidence, and becoming an instructor. We'll also get into the transition from firefighter to company officer, earning the trust of your crew, leading by example, and building confidence in that new role.

With Jenny's background in biology, health coaching, and training, there was plenty to dig into when it comes to mental and physical health, career longevity, and staying ready to do the job.

We covered a lot of ground, the conversation went further than I anticipated.

The audience, brought such amazing questions as usual!
