In this episode we speak with Chief Nate Trauernicht, CFO, from the UC Davis Fire Department in California. Chief Davis heads up one of the few campus-based fire departments, and has a unique set of challenges when it comes to protecting the campus and students. His department has taken a very proactive approach through Community Risk Reduction to help teach the students lifelong skills. As a bonus, during the conversation Chief Trauernicht was talking about the Social Media Style Guide that his department developed that they are sharing with other fire departments across the nation to help them in their outreach efforts. https://fire.ucdavis.edu/
