From Response and Recovery to
Planning and Preparedness…
(and everything in between).
Remote or on-site support for real-time disaster / crisis events. Process, program, and incident analysis to identify improvement opportunities. Training and exercise management to enhance resiliency. Planning and preparedness to bolster readiness.
How we can help you…
Disaster Response Support
Emergencies and disasters often strike as an unforeseen “black swan” event. We provide on-call emergency support for on-site and remote assistance to reinforce your core capabilities in times of crisis.
Disaster Recovery Support
We can assist with restoring your critical lifelines, navigating federal assistance programs (i.e., Public Assistance, Individual Assistance, Hazard Mitigation), and coordinating your internal operations.
Planning and Preparedness
One of best mechanisms of inoculation against an emergency becoming a crippling crisis is strong planning and preparedness. We plan evaluation, development, and testing to help you build resiliency to “weather the storm.”
Program / Process
Analysis
Are you in a rut or a groove?
They both look the same from the inside. It is only when you lift your head to honestly assess your position (effectiveness) can you determine the difference. We have extensive experience in emergency and crisis response and recovery program analysis.
After-Action Reports /
Improvement Planning
How many After-Action Reports (AARs), or incident analysis have you seen become paper tigers collecting dust on a shelf? We produce detailed AARs and Incident Analysis yielding actionable and attainable results, followed by robust improvement plans to map out your path for achieving positive outcomes.
Training and Exercise
Design and Delivery
To quote Mike Tyson (a seemingly odd choice here)… “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” While the source may not be the most academic, the sentiment is accurate. We develop trainings, functional / full-scale, and table-top exercises to test your plans in safe, low consequence environments.
Thoughtful and deliberate…

Going way back…
Explore Our Story!
The story of Fully Involved Fire, LLC and the consulting division begins over 100 years ago. As the CEO (Ryan Christen), I am a third-generation professional firefighter. Like all good over-stories however, there are roots that run deep. The fact is, this work is not just my purpose, in a very real sense it is in my DNA. Going back to the story of Henry Christen, my grandfather, a retired District Chief with the Miami Fire Department who became a firefighter after being injured in the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

The story of my past, that eventually led to the founding of Fully Involved Fire continues with my father, Henry (Hank) Christen II. Continuing in my grandfather’s legacy he retired as a Battalion Chief on the Atlanta Fire department after a storied career. He continued on to be a Director of Emergency Management, starting the 911 system in NW Florida, and founding one of the nation’s first Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMAT). As a side note, he is pictured here next to a Huey Helicopter, and to this day (despite all the airframes I have flown in), he enjoys reminding me that I haven’t yet flown in a Huey.
