Is Technology Ruining Our Future Fire Department Leaders?

Tuesday, December 9, 2025
3:15 PM - 4:00 PM CT
Location: Junior Ballroom C

Session 1
This session goes straight at the real question: is tech making your next generation of fire service leaders stronger or just more distracted? We look at how digital tools can help if used right, but also how they can damage morale, break trust, and create a gap between the crews on the ground and the people calling the shots. Learn what works to balance old-school leadership with new technology, spot the warning signs, and keep the culture that makes this job matter. You will leave with blunt advice, practical ways to keep people connected, and clear strategies to help leaders work smarter; without losing what makes them effective in the first place.
