Brita's Story
Brita 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. Brita 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 20 years. Brita currently serves as the Fire Chief for the department.
A Coloradan, a Public Servant, a Fire Chief, a Ranchwife, and a Trail Blazer are a few ways people know Brita Horn. She has been serving her community for the past 19 years as a fire chief and a first responder, and was also formerly elected Treasurer and Public Trustee of Rock County.
She’s also a keynote speaker, a high-performance coach, and a best-selling author of the book, “Drinking from a Fire Hose: 5 Essential Tools to Not Get Soaked”

Drinking from a Fire Hose: 5 Essential Tools to Not Get Soaked
Learning the hard way is never easy.
Imagine, your gut is telling you to stand still and don’t move. Your heart is pounding so loud you can’t hear the Fire Captain screaming at you. Sweat is dripping down your back and your legs are shaking from the heavy bunker gear you are wearing. Your mind is telling to give up, just stop and go home. It’s not worth it.
But what if it is worth it? What if people are depending on you? What do you do?
You answer the call! You don’t give in! You don’t go home! And, you Never, Ever Give up.

Praise
Wow...Drinking From the Fire Hose is exactly what Brita shares in her book! I had the delight of listening and watching Brita on stage as she shared one of her many fantastic and energetic stories. She is relentless in her pursuit of overcoming obstacles that many people would give up on. She is a powerhouse in her ability to share her stories and inspire the rest of us to DO and BE more! I highly recommend purchasing this book and sharing it with others so that we can all help each other step up to a new level.
Chief Horn is a consummate professional. She strives for improvement in the Volunteer Fire Service through her work with the Colorado State Fire Chief and is a tireless advocate for the service and the safety of volunteer (and all) firefighters.
Brita has strong financial skills with knowledge of budgets, investments and cash flow analysis. Brita has strong management skills and receives the loyalty and admiration of her coworkers and staff. Brita's determination and character will make her a positive addition to any team.
Brita is THE consummate professional...one to never waiver, she is the Real Deal.
