"Go get the jug" refers to a container that holds rope and it's used to measure the stretch or ladder throws when taking time to walk the neighborhood. The saying has a rooted meaning that the opportunity for training can be as simple as walking the neighborhood with a piece of rope and we can capitalize on making the company better. Rich Stack, currently a Deputy District Chief and the Assistant Director of Training for the Chicago Fire Department knows the importance of simple drills. Finding time for training is important to Rich. His passion for protecting the core values of the Chicago Fire Department is strong, but, admittedly, the need for change in some regards presents issues when trying to implement. Rich talks about the recent General Order that came out which was widely discussed across the fire service. He discusses the implementation of these changes and how it continues to be a work in progress. Rich is excited to get back to the firehouse, back to the rank of Captain as his tenure at the academy comes to a close. His love of the job is evident in everything he does and his impact can be felt not just in the Chicagoland, but nationally. He works with On-Scene Training and his own company, Duty Pride Tradition Training. Even with over 25 years in the fire service, Rich continues to grow into the job while bringing those around him along for the ride. His humor and love of life is infectious and I'm honored to call him a friend.
