Calen Maningas, MSL CFO EFO

Battalion Chief
Rapid City Fire Department
Rapid City, South Dakota, United States

As a Battalion Chief and 17-year member of the Rapid City Fire Department (RCFD), Chief Maningas has been a leadership catalyst with a traditional yet progressive organization. He serves as a contract instructor for the National Fire Academy (NFA), including the Executive Fire Officer (EFO) Program, is a member of the South Dakota State Fire Marshals Advisory Board, and a nationally published author and speaker.

Having Masters in Executive Leadership, designated a Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE): Chief Fire Officer (CFO), and graduating the NFA: EFO as a key leading candidate, Chief lives in the divide between leader-follower and leader-leader fire service.

Chief Maningas founded Community Risk Reduction initiatives for the city, lead regional rescue teams, developed the RCFD Remote Extraction Modules (REM), instructs high-risk disciplines, and leads Professional Development for RCFD.

Still serving in Fire and EMS Operations, Chief Maningas is committed to adding value to the community by producing leaders who provide above expectation services. Serving to proactively adapt to challenges in preparing, preventing, and protecting the community, Chief is on the forefront of influence and change, living by the philosophy that the example set should surpass the authority given.
