I sat down with Brad Pitassi, who is a PIO1 Lead on one of the Southwest National IMTs when he is not a Captain and PIO for the City of Maricopa Fire Department. We discussed Brad's career, the differences between PIOs and PAOs, the need to understand policy and strategy on dynamic and complex events, continuous learning, the training process, and what traits we like to see in a good PIO.

Today let's talk about God. If you have to squeeze thoughts out of your head just to try and remember what you should be thankful for these past few weeks, maybe there is something wrong with your relationship with God. God is not a "fairy Godmother" who grants wishes. It maybe hard to explain but He only gives us what we need to have as of the moment. If you feel this is something you only wished for, think again. Nobody wished for any tragic event to happen to someone else.
