A Coloradan, a Public Servant, a Fire Chief, a High-Energy Fireball, and a Trail Blazer are a few ways people know my next guest, Brita Horn. She has dedicated her life to public service in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 when she noticed a need in her local community for emergency responders. She responded to the call by creating a nonprofit fire department with her friends and neighbors in McCoy, CO which has served the community for the last 18 years. Brita currently serves as the Fire Chief for the department.

Brita’s service does not stop there. She currently serves Coloradans as the Treasurer for the Colorado State Fire Chiefs (CSFC) and the Eagle County Fire Chiefs Association. Also, as the Volunteer Section Chief for CSFC and was elected to the Club 20 Board of Directors.

Now if that isn’t enough to impress you, she is also a Best-Selling Author of Drinking from a Fire House – 5 Essential Tools To Not Get Soaked. A must read for any first responders. 

In this episode, we talk about her career and her challenges. Her dedication to service, fire mitigation and of course her book.

A great and informative interview with a great guest.
