“I have known and worked closely with Kelly Walsh and Chief Dan Jones many times during my career. Their unique combination of fire service HR management, instruction, and leadership experience makes this educational opportunity both practical and essential for current and future fire officers. These two professionals have so much to offer their students – no doubt the fire service will benefit significantly from their instruction.”
