Former Bishop Airport Public Safety Director Chris Miller discusses a 2017 terrorist attack at the Flint, Michigan, airport. He also talks about the changes the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America had on current operations at Bishop  International Airport.The retired Public Safety Director at Flint Bishop Airport, Chris Miller, was a hero in 2017 when he and an airport maintenance worker subdued a terrorist who stabbed a fellow police officer.  Miller's quick actions helped save the life of a fellow officer during a terrorist attack inside the Bishop International Airport Terminal. The attacker, a Tunisian national, was found guilty in 2018 on single counts of committing an act of violence at an international airport, interference with airport security, and an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries. He is serving a life sentence for the crimes. Chief Miller led the security detail at the Flint airport on the day of the 911 terrorist attacks in 2000. His law enforcement career has spanned nearly 40 years in the Flint area.   He also retired from the Genesee County Sheriff's Department after 20 years. He also worked for a time with the Mt. Morris Township Police Department.Miller shares his experiences as a young musician in the Flint area, growing up in a General Motors family, and his hobby of collecting Chevrolet Corvettes. He attended Flint Community Schools, C.S. Mott Community College, and Oakland University. Upon his retirement in 2021, the City of Flint Lifetime Achievement Award and a key to the city were presented to Chief Chis Miller.

As a young marine we used to chant a cadence, “born in the woods and raised by a bear, double set of dog teeth, triple coat of hair”. While nothing about this typifies our guest, Jason Miller, it rang through my head as he told me of his upbringing in the fire service.  He knew from a young age what he wanted and right out of high school he “got in” and by his own account was “raised by the fire department”. Or rather by “bears” for sure!   Miller landed in the PFD and has built a wonderful career, serving on the line as a firefighter and company officer for 27 years. Recently, he took the step to become a command officer, and a credit to his KSAs, he landed at the top of the heap. While soon-to-be-Chief Miller looks out for his folks in the fire house with great care his vision extends further. His development of the storm stick, a clever gross decon tool to aid in the battle against exposure to carcinogens, Miller demonstrates his stewardship for the fire service at large. In episode 75 we discuss all of this and so much more. Please enjoy!   __________________________   You can find the Fireground Fitness podcast wherever great podcasts are located.

In this episode Brian and John discuss the senior men, the rookies and the group that's caught somewhere in the middle. Along with other challenges being faced in a small town Ohio fire department.  This episode was in response to the following email from a loyal listener: In listening to the podcasts I have a question that I have been asking myself over and over, and I wanted to see if I could get some thoughts on this. There are two main groups of firefighters that seem to get focus nowadays, the "senior man" and the "rookie". And rightfully so. I see them as having an equal importance to the fire service. However there is a lost group in there that gets pulled in both directions that can feel lost. That's the group I'm in. The "middle guys". I am 37 years old and have been on the department now for 21 years (started at 16 as a junior). I grew up idolizing and learning from the go-get-em smoke eaters that was 100% aggressive 100% of the time and that felt certain requirements didn't need to be followed because we were just a small town volunteer department. And, respectfully, they are still the chief officers today. The majority of our firefighters however are in the 20-25 year old range and is accepting and wanting of a more structured, safety minded approach that is still aggressive but only when necessary. That is what I want to give them. As the middle guy, and I am sure that you have been there, I am trying to stay the course of setting the example for the future of the department and do the right thing. However, those that made me who I am today are feeling disrespected and feel that I am wrong for trying to change things. I know the obvious answer is to do what is right for the people who are expecting me to take care of them. And although I usually am the one to take an order without question, I cannot rightfully pull back from this like the people above me would like. Our chief officers are appointed every year by the township trustees, and they have remained the same for over 20 years. If I would express concern to the trustees, it would most likely result in me not being able to be around to look after the younger generation to make sure that they don't become complacent and follow the path of my elders. I would never give the burden of asking for advice on the politics of our situation, but I would like to know how others have navigated these waters. What has worked, what has failed, and if being the middle guy trying to fix this makes it better or worse for the "rookies". About our host: Chief Brian Soller has been a volunteer firefighter for 30 years.  Brian is currently Chief of the Rock Hill Fire Department (100% Volunteer / Sullivan County, NY) and a Past Chief of the Monticello Fire Department (Combination / Sullivan County, NY).

  Daniel Konzelman is an Eagle Scout so he was raised to “Be Prepared.”  But what he was about to face on the morning of December 18, 2017 some could argue no one could be prepared for. Daniel was on his way to work when an Amtrak commuter train derailed, literally, right in front of him.  In this interview, Daniel shares the first-hand perspective of what it is like to be a true first responder (on-scene before any trained personnel). This experience also inspired Daniel to pursue a career as a firefighter and he is now in week 6 of his recruit academy training with the Tacoma, Washington Fire Department.
