Sleep Deprivation: The Continuing Challenge for Fire and EMS
Battalion Chief (Ret.) Robert Avsec
Welcome to my blog! I’m a retired fire department battalion chief who spent 30+ years in the active fire service. My last 26-years, I had the honor of serving with the women and men of the Chesterfield (Va.) Fire and EMS Department outside of Richmond, Virginia.
I started this blog in 2012 because I love to write and I believed–and still do!–that I had something to offer to the current and future generations of firefighters and officers. I hope that you’ve found that to be the case after visiting my “2nd career home” and that you’ll come back often!
What an honor! Thank you to the folks at Feedspot for their review and ranking of Talking “Shop” 4 Fire and EMS! Being ranked 30th out of 35 isn’t too shabby–and the other 34 blogs are also pretty darn good!
