Earned Wisdom, Part 2: Greg Cade

About this episode

Two important figures in the US Fire Service, Russ Sanders and Gregory Cade, have announced they will be retiring at the end of 2021 after a combined 105 years of service to the fire profession.

In today's Part 2, we talk to Greg Cade, who rose from a volunteer firefighter to big city fire chief, and eventually to US Fire Administrator, the top-ranking fire officer in the nation. Cade has also served in leadership roles at the International Association of Firefighters and at NFPA.  He shares his thoughts on the plight of the US volunteer fire service, why leaders can never stop learning, and what it's like to have Secret Service agents knocking on your door.
