Chief Motes also touches upon technological advancements in firefighting and the need for improved work-life balance to address the unique demands of the profession. Finally, he offers advice for aspiring firefighters and other fire chiefs seeking to enhance mental health support within their departments. Our apologies as the audio quality is reduced.
