The Firefighter Netcast Show: Is there is too much to know how to do, and do well, for a volunteer to keep up?

Join John and Rhett for a discussion on Volunteering this day in age. We will be addressing the question “Is
there is too much to know how to do, and do well, for a volunteer to keep up.”

The direct link to the show is here live at 9pm EST Wednesday, September 15th.

Our guests include Josh and Patrick from the blog No Ambition But One.

This discussion first began on their blog and then was featured on The Fire Critic in two posts:

• No Ambition But One…”I will make a bold and unpopular pronouncement: there is too much to know how to do, and do well, for a volunteer to keep up.”
• Is this Case and Point for Volunteerism? You be the judge!

Read part 1 here, part 2 here, and part 3 here.

From part 1: I will make a bold and unpopular pronouncement: there is too much to know how to do, and do well, for a volunteer to keep up.

From part 2: It’s high time for the fire service to quit trying to do everything and focus on selling what we do best.

From part 3: It’s quite obvious that a guy who is working a “real job” 60+ hours a week can hardly master the science of the fire service, much less the art of what we do. Hell, I spend much more time than that at work every week and still have very little idea of what’s going on.
