Side Effects of CRR (Part 2)

September 29, 2020 • Ed Comeau

In the second part of this two-part series on CRR Radio we finish our conversation with Captain Joe Powers, FO, from the Henrico County Division of Fire. This episode looks at the external side effects of CRR, focusing on how CRR can have a positive impact on the fire department’s relationship with your community’s governance. City and town administrators may speak a different language than the fire department, focusing on outcomes (lives and property saved, for example) versus outputs (response time, number of calls), and CRR can be an instrumental part of helping you bridge this gap.
