Congraduations on your appointment to LT. The first bit of advice is don't let the position go to your head. Listen to other fire fighters, plan carefully and make the right decisions. Remember that you were a line firefighter before being promoted and you probably wanted to be heard. Remember this when other fire fighters pass suggestions and advice.Good Luck and keep up the good work.

Local 3206 I have been a Lt. for apprx. 11 yrs. I have always advised new officers that you should treat your men the same way you expected tp be treated when you were a blue shirt. I also a believer how you acted as a blue shirt will dictate how you are as a officer. good luck and if i can be of any help please write.
