What’s Your Shark Attack? Rethinking Risk and Training in the Fire Service
Wednesday, September 10, 2025 | 1 pm Eastern [60 minutes]
Presented by Deputy Chief Billy Goldfeder, Chief Rom Duckworth, Chief Kristopher Blume and Erin McGruder
Every jurisdiction has its version of a “shark attack”—a high-risk, low-frequency incident that requires a well-trained, effective response. However, while preparing for these low-frequency events is important, many departments risk over-focusing on the unlikely while neglecting the calls they handle every day, missing opportunities to prepare for the risks that matter most in their own communities.
Join Lexipol for a webinar featuring experienced fire service leaders Deputy Chief Billy Goldfeder, Chief Rom Duckworth, Chief Kris Blume and Erin McGruder as they challenge fire and EMS leaders to take a hard look at whether their training priorities align with operational realities. The panel will share lessons from the field and practical ideas for delivering training that truly prepares personnel for what’s ahead – whether it’s the “everyday” calls or the outliers.
You’ll learn:
- Why conducting a community risk assessment is critical to training alignment.
- How to identify and prioritize training gaps instead of relying on trends or textbook assumptions.
- The importance of company officers in driving meaningful, consistent training to ensure crew readiness.
- Ways to shift from checkbox training to capability-building training that is measurable, realistic, and rooted in your agency’s actual needs.
