I once mistook somebody else’s expertise for a threat to my authority.
During a mission in Afghanistan, I was responsible for organizing our extraction. I assumed the same helicopters that dropped us off would come back for us, so I built the plan around the wrong aircraft.
Then Senior Chief Mike Peters arrived and started changing everything. Mike was our aviation expert. He knew exactly what needed to happen. Instead of welcoming his help, I felt undermined and pushed back.
Looking back, his expertise was never the problem.
My insecurity was.
I was so worried about appearing unprepared that I resisted the person who could help us build a better plan. In trying to protect my authority, I damaged it.
Strong leaders know where their knowledge ends. They ask questions, seek counsel, and give subject-matter experts room to do what they do best.
Who on your team knows more than you about the problem in front of you? Are you using that strength or competing with it?

Above suspended ceilings in high-rise buildings are hundreds of wires, cables, and services. During a fire, heat, fire spread, and suppression operations can cause these unseen systems to fail, drop, or collapse without warning.

Duxbury Fire is grateful to be working alongside the Massachusetts National Guard as we continue to access difficult and snow-covered areas throughout town. Their specialized vehicles and personnel help ensure we can reach residents safely and efficiently when it matters most.

Citizens, please be aware that the City has put in place an ill-advised plan during the snow emergency. They are having police officers certified as EMTs respond to medical and trauma dispatches normally handled by IAFF Local 22 paramedics and EMTs. We have no idea what equipment and experience they may have or if they even know the correct hospital to take patients to. We also believe that State Law states that patients should be transported in certified medic units, not police vehicles. Be careful out there and stay safe.

Face of budget cuts, Will Kelso, Duxbury born and raised will be leaving us. Due to budget cuts we are losing 2 firefighter positions one of which would have been hiring him. Our loss will be another departments gain. Will grew up at the DxFD.

Please vote yes on override today, laying off firefighters risk lives of the community and fellow firefighters! Staffing matters, call volume continues to skyrocket as resources dwindle.
