Fire Department Morale

Hello

I belong to a volunteer fire department ive been in for 9 years im the training officer asstint..the moral and commradship is VERY low in our dept....people are fighting with other people... a lot of talking behind peoples backs...etc,,,etc....but at a fire scene everyone works well togeather.im getting very sick of it almost to the point of Quitting or going on a leave of absence...We are having an elections of officers coming up in December not sure if this is the problem or what....im hoping that someone can give me some suggestions on how to fix this or lead me in the right direction..we just got a good recruitment of new firefighters of 10+.....i would hate to see the new ones learn this way

Thanks

If you are the assistant Training Officer than develop some training that encourages teamwork and as far as your new cadets, as a Training Officer their moral is your issue. Keep them focused and out of the sewing circles of your department.
