On May 1, 2024, FDNY members in Brooklyn responded to a fire that would challenge even the department's most experienced fire ground commanders. What would initially appear to be a minor roof fire involving an awning in front of a supermarket, quickly escalated into a serious multiple-alarm fire, ultimately involving five structures and requiring the equivalent of an eight-alarm assignment to bring under control. Deputy Assistant Chief Joseph Duggan and FDNY Chief of Special Operations Malcolm Moore join host Battalion Chief Jason Cascone for a conversation. 

20 years of career experience, 2nd generation Firefighter. Assistant Chief with Cayce Fire Department in South Carolina and co-owner of Soda City Training. My conversation with Ryan was fantastic. Upon entering into the fire service he had individuals who were helping and guiding him in a way that he might not have caught onto just yet. When you're young and in the fire service after a few years some begin to think they know it all when the individual hasn't even scratched the surface. Sometimes all it takes is one person to pull you aside and let you know you're messing up to hopefully make you realize you need to change for the better. Ryan had one of those experiences that forever changed his outlook and continues to do so even today. I truly hope the listeners can take in and absorb some of the gems and nuggets Ryan's dropping . One of my favorite quotes from Ryan is “ You are what you check.”

Simon Mayall was commissioned into the British Army in 1979, having graduated from Balliol College, Oxford, where he read Modern History. Over the following decades, he served in Germany, Belgium, the UK, and Oman, and he was deployed on operations in Northern Ireland, Cyprus, the Balkans, and the Middle East. He commanded soldiers at all levels and held a series of increasingly senior staff appointments in the Ministry of Defence, including Assistant Chief of the General Staff, Deputy Chief of Defence Staff (Operations), and Defence Senior Adviser Middle East. Between Command and Staff training periods, he undertook a Defence Fellowship at St Antony's College, Oxford, and an MA in International Relations at King's College. He was knighted in 2014 and retired from the Army in 2015.Since retirement, Mayall has sought to combine his academic enthusiasm for history with his personal and professional experience in the Middle East to develop an experience in this complex and volatile region. As a result, he is regularly called upon for commentary or analysis, using his deep knowledge of history and religion to help listeners and readers better understand current events in the wider Middle East.In 2020, he published a book, ‘Soldier in the Sand, a Personal History of the Modern Middle East', which used a three-generational biography of his family to tell the story of the Middle East since the end of World War One. In 2024, he published ‘The House of War, the Struggle between Christendom and the Caliphate', which examined the 1,300-year confrontation between the Christian and Islamic world through ten great sieges and battles, stretching from the Crusades and earlier to the collapse of the OWoman Empire in 1918. This book is a prequel to Soldier in the Sand in many ways. Mayall hopes that as ‘Applied History', it will both interest and educate readers and, once again, give them valuable insights into contemporary events. The original proposal was written with a television series in mind, and Mayall still hopes this epic set of stories, set within a grand, sweeping historical narrative, will make it onto the small screen. He is planning to write a biography of Field Marshal Sir Nigel Bagnall, who he worked for as ADC and who is viewed as one of the most significant reformers of the British Army in modern times.Mayall has now contributed twice to the Inspiring Leadership podcast. In his first appearance, his ‘top tip' for leadership focused on purpose, professionalism in execution, and clarity of communication. For ‘respectable' historians, in this current era of ‘battling narratives,' he believes in the critical importance of facts, context, and ‘empathy'. Hosted on Acast.

One of the toughest challenges in military human performance is how to implement programs that work for reserve service members. With only a couple days a month of direct interaction, how do you improve their health and fitness behaviors the rest of the month? Who better to workshop solutions to this issue with than the Chief of the Army Reserve? Lieutenant General Robert Harter was an H2F skeptic at first (we discuss why), but now he's a believer and trying to mobilize the right leaders and resources to improve human performance for his part time soldiers. LTG Harter was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on August 1, 2024, and assumed the dual role of Chief of Army Reserve and Commanding General, U.S. Army Reserve Command. As the Chief of Army Reserve, LTG Harter is the principal advisor on Army Reserve matters to the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff of the Army. As Commanding General of U.S. Army Reserve Command, he leads a community-based force of more than 174,000 Citizen Soldiers and 11,000 Civilians – with a footprint that encompasses all 50 states, five U.S. territories, and more than 23 countries across the globe. His previous General Officer assignments include Commanding General of the 81st Readiness Division, Deputy Chief of Army Reserve, Chief of Staff for Army Material Command, and Commanding General, 316th Expeditionary Sustainment Command (deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom).

Jacob Johnson 24 years of combination experience. Assistant Chief with Pearland Fire Department in Southeast Texas. It's been said that you don't need rank to lead and I wholeheartedly agree with that. You can be a leader when it comes to any profession. The difference is matching words with actions, being directly intentional, having the humility to let others know your faults/weaknesses, working to improve on them and most of all being truly genuine with yourself. I literally was at a lost for words when talking to Chief Johnson during this interview. I implore all and any of you who listen to this episode to share this with your friends, colleagues & co-workers. Have round table discussions, smoke a stogie in the back of your bay but do yourself a favor and listen to the words that Jacob speaks. No script, no rehearsal just words from the heart from a man that truly wants to help change his organization for the better. I want to give Chief Johnson his flowers along with many other Chief's, Company Officers & Firefighters that I have had the pleasure of talking to since I've started this podcast. You all are making a difference and don't ever forget that.

50 - What's the Most Important Issue in Policing? In this conversation, Chief Steve Dye discusses the challenges and importance of supporting and improving the wellness of police officers. He emphasizes the need for strong leadership, the impact of media portrayal on recruitment and retention, and the importance of self-responsibility and compliance in interactions with law enforcement. Chief Dye also highlights the role of community support in shaping the perception and effectiveness of police departments. The conversation explores the evolution of views on mental health and wellness in law enforcement over the years. It highlights the importance of addressing mental health and seeking help, even though it was once seen as a sign of weakness. The implementation of comprehensive wellness programs, including emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial support, is discussed. The role of leadership in modeling desired behaviors and creating a supportive environment is emphasized. The conversation also touches on the importance of relationships outside of law enforcement and provides advice for chiefs on implementing wellness initiatives within their departments. KEY TAKEAWAYS Strong leadership is crucial in supporting and protecting police officers. Media portrayal of law enforcement can impact recruitment and retention. Self-responsibility and compliance are important in interactions with police officers. Community support plays a significant role in shaping the perception and effectiveness of police departments. Views on mental health and wellness in law enforcement have evolved over the years, with a shift towards recognizing the importance of addressing mental health and seeking help. Comprehensive wellness programs that encompass emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial support are crucial for the well-being of law enforcement officers. Leadership plays a vital role in creating a supportive environment and modeling desired behaviors for officers. Building relationships outside of law enforcement is important for officers' well-being and provides a fresh perspective on life. Chiefs can implement wellness initiatives by prioritizing care for their officers, forming chaplaincy programs and peer support groups, and establishing relationships with third-party counseling services. Benchmarking the impact of wellness initiatives, such as reduced workers' comp claims and increased productivity, can help make a case for investing in wellness programs.   ABOUT OUR GUEST Steve Dye currently serves as the Chief of Police for the Allen Police Department, which is a community of 111,000 residents located in Collin County, Texas.

Illinois Comptroller, Susana Mendoza, has suspended state payments to Dolton and threatened fines due to the village's failure to submit required financial reports. These reports include annual financial statements and audits, which have not been filed since 2021. The Comptroller's actions are a response to Dolton's ongoing non-compliance with state law, further complicated by a recent report from former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. The report highlighted the village's financial mismanagement under Mayor Tiffany Henyard's administration. Additionally, the situation is further complicated by internal conflicts within Dolton's administration. The village's mayor, Tiffany Henyard, and the recently terminated Assistant Chief of Police, Lewis Lacy, have been involved in controversial actions, including a mandatory meeting for police officers that has been called into question for its legality. With financial penalties looming and significant administrative turmoil, Dolton faces a critical period where state intervention and potential legal actions could significantly impact the village's future.

In this episode the hosts chat with Fire Chief Dennis Reilly, a 50-year fire service veteran, retired Fire Chief, and owner of The First Line Fire Service Training Company. Chief Reilly served as the Fire Chief in Pittsburg, KS, Sunrise Beach, MO, an Assistant Chief in North Carolina and California and retired as a Battalion Chief in Cherry Hill, NJ. He was an original member of New Jersey Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 1. Reilly holds a master's degree in public administration from Penn State University and is a CFO.

In this joint interview, fire chief Tom Lucchesi and veteran firefighter Pat Kelliher talk about fires and firefighting in Beacon.  Not so long ago, volunteer firefighting in Beacon was a generational tradition. “When I started, there were 200 volunteers,” says Pat. “Your grandfather was one. Your father was one. You were one.” In those days the city's three firehouses had as many as 75 volunteers each. By contrast, today's fire department has 18 career firefighters and just five volunteers. The downward trend in volunteerism is not unique to Beacon. Across New York and the United States more broadly, the equipment and techniques of firefighting have become far more  advanced and professionalized, requiring extensive training, and the nature of fires has changed as well. People also have less time — and time off from work — to answer the call when a fire breaks out.  Tom also talks about the new $14.7 million firehouse, which is nearing completion.  A little more on our guests:  Pat Kelliher is a 54-year veteran of Beacon's volunteer force who retired earlier this year. The son of a Beacon police officer and the grandson of Irish immigrants, he was among the earliest wave of Vietnam draftees. On returning home, he found the fire department offered some of the camaraderie and shared purpose he experienced in the war.  Fire Chief Tom Lucchese was obsessed with emergency services from a young age. Raised in New Windsor, he worked for the Newburgh fire department through a series of budget cuts and layoffs. During a single one-month period he was demoted from Captain to Firefighter, then promoted to Captain, then promoted again to Assistant Chief. “It would only happen in Newburgh,” he says. “We can laugh now, but I feel very fortunate. There were many firefighters who lost their jobs.”

Our special guests will be 43 year FDNY veteran Deputy Chief Jay Jonas and Chief of Dept Ganci's son, FDNY Battalion Chief Chris Ganci. We will be paying Tribute to FDNY Chief of Dept, Peter Ganci Jr. who died on 9-11-01. Chief Ganci was 18 when he enlisted in the U.S. Army. It was 1965 and the Vietnam War was raging. He volunteered for “Airborne” and was later assigned to the famous 82nd Airborne unit. He would spend two years in the Army and attain the rank of Sargent. However, he was never deployed to Vietnam. He was appointed to the FDNY on September 14‚ 1968 and assigned as a firefighter to Engine 92 in the Bronx and then to 111 truck in Brooklyn. His climb to the top began as Lieutenant‚ Ladder 124‚ August 1977. While at Ladder 124‚ serving as a lieutenant‚ He was awarded the B.C. Frank Tuttlemondo medal in 1982 for performing an act of bravery and courage when he rescued a child from a burning apartment that was heavily engulfed in smoke‚ heat and fire. B.C. Robert Scalone of the 28th Battalion‚ after investigating this incident wrote‚ ‘without regard for his own safety‚ Ganci‚ with unerring skill and accuracy‚ moved into an atmosphere heavily charged with heat and smoke. If it were not for his quick‚ skillful actions‚ the rescued child would certainly have perished.' When the incident was discussed with then Lt. Pete Ganci‚ he summed it all up very succinctly by saying‚ "When a firefighter realizes that someone is being robbed of life by fire‚ adrenalin and determination replace any thoughts of personal safety". It was this same determination that Chief Ganci‚ on September 11th as the Chief of Department‚ led and directed the most successful rescue operation of the modern era. Over 30‚000 people were saved because of Chief Ganci and his fellow firefighters. His career achievements included Captain‚ 1983; Battalion Chief‚ 1987; Deputy Chief 1993; Deputy Assistant Chief in charge of Bureau of Fire Investigation‚ 1994; Assistant Chief of Operations‚ 1996; Chief of operations 1997-99; Acting Chief of Department‚ 1998-99; and Chief of Department‚ October 1999 to September 11‚ 2001. Although Chief Pete will always be recognized for his distinguished accomplishments in the FDNY‚ his greatest legacy will live on through his Family. Pete Ganci‚ a loving husband to his wife Kathy‚ a devoted father to his children‚ Peter‚ Chris‚ and Danielle‚ will be remembered for his quick wit‚ his zest for life and his unforgettable smile. Remember WE HONOR the BRAVE men and women like Chief Ganci, who refused to quit; refused to retreat; and fought until the very end!    / gettinsaltyexperience  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gettin-salty-experience-firefighter-podcast--4218265/support.
