Episode 97: Behavioral Economics in the Fire Service with Dan Munsey and Scott Roseberry
Hello Smart Firefighting Community!
Welcome to another episode of covering real world innovations via interviews with fire service and technology industry experts that empower YOU to develop your very own Smart Firefighting strategy! This is the eighth episode of our IAFC Technology Council Outreach Mini Series!
Now what does behavioral economics have to do with the fire service?
In this episode:
- What is behavioral economics and how can we rethink the approach?
- Explore the significance of framing, relativity, loss aversion and conformity
- Who can effectively integrate behavioral economics into fire departments?
SFF heard from fire chiefs who have brought behavioral economics into their departments to find out just how it applies to the fire industry. Fire Chief Dan Munsey has been with the San Bernardino County Fire Department for over 26 years, is a chairperson of the CalChiefs Operations Section - a subsection of the California Fire Chiefs Association providing specialized support to the parent body and subject matter expertise to its members in the area of fire operations - and is also a chairperson for IAFC Technology Council. Battalion Chief Scott Roseberry has served the Garland Fire Department in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for the past 22 years and is also an Advisory Council Member for FEMA and a Board Member of the Emergency Services Tech Symposium.
