I was an EMT with AMR in Seattle. I remember we ran a call with SFD and the Fire Chief was riding with the fire crew. The crew was on pins and needles because the Chief was with them and they even sent someone down to warn us. We ended up needing our stair chair for the call so I grabbed it and went up to the apartment. I looked at the Chief and said "hey Chief how are you? Would you set the stair chair up for me?" The fire crew looked at me like I was nuts, but he did it. After we got the patient down and loaded, one of the fire fighters walked over to the Chief and tried to take over folding up the chair from the Chief. I will never forget his reply. He looked at the firefighter and told him "I may be Chief but I'm also a fire fighter and I'm on a team. I won't turn down an assignment just because of the bugles on my collar." I respected the Chief before that, but I admired him after that. Pretty sure that engine crew still thinks I'm nuts for putting the Chief to work though.

That’s a good Chief, gets involved and even does dishes. Power too you Chief thank you for your Service

When the Chief said "luckily we didn't have any meetings with people that need redirection or coaching up" I instantly knew that all he wants is for everyone to be successful and safe. No negative energy with this guy. That battalion is lucky to have him as the Chief. Great video guys!

Chief doing dishes!? That speaks volumes. That’s a man of character and leadership.

Now that’s real leadership there. Can tell the other firefighters not only respect him as a supervisor, but also love him as a person.

This has to be the most progressive fire dept in the USA. Kudos, you guys should be the model for all the follow.

Now that is what a leader should be. Getting involved and supporting his staff. Great effort guys

As a Lieutenant for my department for over 6 years, I am always looking for ways to improve crew continuity. Chief, you are an example to all company and chief level officers. Thank you for your example. Scott

Who else loves south metro

This guy actually cares. These are the leaders we need

It would be interesting to take a look at the fleet services and the other administrative support operations

Battalion Chief Segura seems to be the kind of officer everyone should strive to be!! Definitely a Chief I would like to work for and be like down the road.

And when the cameras aren't rolling, they're sitting safely in their air conditioned SUV.

I am kidding. Much love for BC's.

The original gangsta cup makes this video top tier

I am a retired fire captain and after stumbling upon this video it was easy to form my opinion on this BC, B3 is the perfect example of what being an operational leader in the fire service is all about! I may grab that part of your interview and convert as a quote in the future "...the higher up you go in the leadership/command staff chain the lesser it becomes about you and the more it becomes on your personnel and ensuring that they have what they need to do the job..."! Great statement!  Thanks!

That’s the kind of chief everyone wants and needs that one the most respectable  chiefs I’ve ever seen

Cardio early. Great plan. This way your workout doesn't get crowded out. High standard of physical fitness. Amazing how different the mindset is when one gets west of the Mississippi.

I’m a chief for a contract Fire Dept. Been doin firefighting for over 30 years. I agree, we are here to make sure the line firefighters have what they need to do their jobs. A true servant’s heart. Thanks Chief

Man what an amazing BC. You can tell he has a vast knowledge of the job that he loves, and all around seems like a great guy to work under! Definitely remembers where he came from, nothing but respect for you sir!!

Chief you have a true leadership ..... This is how a leader should be..
