Beyond the Headlines: What We Can Learn from Failure in the Fire Service
In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, guest Chris Logan shares a rare and candid perspective on embracing failure in the fire service. At 44, Logan challenged himself by attempting Georgia’s Smoke Divers program—a grueling test of physical and mental endurance designed for elite firefighters. Despite not completing the course, his journey revealed the ways in which failure is a catalyst for growth.
Logan explains how these experiences reshaped his approach to training and leadership, encouraging firefighters to take calculated risks in a controlled environment. He stresses the importance of fostering resilience, humility, and confidence among crews, especially younger firefighters, by normalizing failure as a valuable learning tool rather than something to fear.
