About WFW
Sponsored by ImageTrend, this annual report is a collaborative project by FireRescue1, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, and the International Public Safety Data Institute.
The WFW report utilizes a comprehensive survey that gets to the heart of firefighters' experience on the job and gives them a platform to voice their concerns, aspirations, and ideas for evolution within the profession. By collecting and synthesizing these responses in one place, FireRescue1 offers leaders valuable insights that go far beyond data analysis.
In this year's report, fire service leaders can learn:
- What agencies are doing wrong when it comes to leadership and communication within their departments
- How firefighters view their leaders & what they expect from them throughout their careers
- Strategies for addressing the issues most important to their staff, both on and off the shift
- The barriers facing current and potential staff & how to face those barriers effectively in 2025
