They checked in with us regularly with updates and concerns, provided detailed reports of results, and offered to meet with us to help decipher and implement report results into positive resolutions. We have since scheduled the Fiore Group to provide further training in the field of supervisory skills with our Fire Officer candidates in the fall.
