While firefighters are used to focusing on putting out flames and responding to emergencies--a Richland fire captain said their department has been undergoing a cultural shift that's been six years in the making. Captain Joe Derousie said their strategy is called Community Risk Reduction--which means they've been focusing on proactive ways to keep the community safe--like educating the public about safety issues, or helping youth with mentorship. In other words, focusing on what can be done before the fire starts or emergency happens. And now Derousie is headed to a national symposium to share what's been working in Richland with people from across the country. It's called the Vision 20-20 Model Performance Community Risk Reduction Symposium. Long title--but Captain Derousie said he's the first to ever be chosen to speak from our community.
