Humility and Humanity
Captain Charles Jakobs was a professional fire fighter in California for over 40 years. One day he was approached and requested to recruit and train new seasonal hires. While in the Navy, Chuck worked with the aviation Bosin mates. Their duties were described as, “The ability to work men”, and that was exactly what Chuck became known for in the fire department.
The two most important things to remember are your humility and humanity. Everybody has basic needs that must be met and everyone is fallible in some way. Throwing your rank out to someone or reminding them that they are inmates is not necessary. Your job as a captain of a fire crew is safety of all men and completing the mission.
Chuck feels that motivation comes from inside of you. The Fire Corp is one way to provide opportunity for people to get motivated.
These traits will also serve each of us when the unexpected and uncontrollable circumstances occur in our futures.
