Ryan Rieser
Battalion Chief of Training
As the Training Chief my role is centered on enhancing the knowledge, skills, and preparedness of our firefighting personnel. I am responsible for developing, implementing, and overseeing comprehensive training programs that ensure our firefighters are well-equipped to handle a diverse range of emergency situations. This involves designing and conducting drills, simulations, and educational sessions to hone their firefighting techniques, rescue procedures, and emergency response capabilities. I collaborate closely with other department leaders to identify training needs and adapt programs to evolving industry standards and best practices. Additionally, I play a role in evaluating the performance of our firefighters during training exercises, providing constructive feedback, and continually refining our training curriculum to align with the dynamic demands of the firefighting profession. Ultimately, as the Training Chief, my focus is on fostering a culture of continuous improvement and excellence in the skill set and readiness of our dedicated firefighting personnel.
