Fire has caused extensive damage to a historic church in North Preston, N.S., just east of Halifax. Firefighters from five stations were called Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. to extinguish the fire at St. Thomas Baptist. The church is considered to be a cornerstone of the town, which is one of Canada’s largest Black communities.
Kevin Dean, a division commander with Halifax Fire, said the flames were difficult to extinguish because they were in a crawl behind a false wall. Foul play is not suspected but the cause remains unclear.

As a high-ranking officer of the FDNY, John Salka is an expert at both practicing and teaching high-stakes leadership. In First In, Last Out, he explains the department’s unique strategies and how they can be adopted by leaders in any field—as he has taught them to organizations around the country. In a tough-talking, no-nonsense style, Salka uses real-world stories to convey leadership imperatives such as:
- First in, last out—your people need to see you taking the biggest risk, as the first one to enter the danger zone and the last to leave
- Manage change—the fire you fought yesterday is not the one you’ll be fighting tomorrow
- Communicate aggressively—a working radio is worth more than 20,000 gallons of water
- Create an execution culture—focus your people on the flames, not the smoke
- Commit to reality—never allow the way you would like things to be to color how things are
- Develop your people—let them feel a little heat today or they’ll get burned tomorrow
