Gatekeepers are those awesome people who decide who, gets what. Who gets an audience with the chief, who gets to be on the special team, and even who someone gets to be friends with.
But, not all gatekeepers are adversaries and in the fire service, some are absolute necessities.
I've noticed a few different kinds of fire department gatekeepers. Some are formal, some are informal, and some are the product of a relationship gone sideways.
I share my own stories about these including the sour relationship that taught me exactly how limited our personal gatekeepers are.
