Chiefs Reid, Wayne and Mike have carried the responsibility of the White Helmet since the early 1990s and have served for generations as officers at the department as well as members as it celebrates 150 years of volunteer service this year. We hope you're enjoying the Lunenburg County Drawl, which is a dialect that dates back twice as long as the fire department.

You can drive 20 minutes from their fire station in any direction and stay in the same county, and you'll find a different dialect. Yet it's still the same. Some are so different from each other that members of some communities don't get along because they can't understand each other. I've always found that very entertaining, and you'll find that throughout Nova Scotia.

This week, I was all the way over on the Pacific in Vancouver for the International Crisis Management Conference West, where I delivered the presentation Indigenous Engagement and Emergencies A Settler's Perspective. I'm exceptionally proud of this work over the past few years and was honored to share these enriching experiences. It has been my honor to learn from many First Nations, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and to share some of these lessons in Vancouver.

Maybe we have to do it this way. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like, let's let's sit back and let's look at. I look at it through a cultural lens. And. Does this make sense? Yeah. Right. Or even ask that out there. Right. Or, you know, it's not hard to pick up the phone and be like, hey, you know, is this the right thing to do? Because they're going to tell you.

Yeah, right. And there's a fire out in baton duty. And I know it's I know it's approaching a very culturally sensitive area. Can you call your father in law and just ask him, what should the protocol be before we approach this area? So I called up my father in law, and I told him what was going on, and he said, tell him to bring some tobacco down, put some tobacco on the ground and just talk and just be like, hey, I'm here.

I'm going to protect you. I'm not here to hurt you. But we at the same time, we don't want to see this fire into you. So can we please come and protect you? And I thought, you know what. That's change.

The best way to work with Family liaison officers during emergencies featuring search and rescue author Moose Matlow. If you work with families in any role, this is a great episode. Any support you give to the Wildfires, Floods and Chaos Communications podcast results in good karma. I saved the bad karma for the bullies and those with crappy ethics and no empathy.
