RFK Jr. and firefighters PJ Norwood and Frank Ricci delve into critical issues that impact the American Fire Service, ranging from forever chemicals in our gear, dignitary protection for Presidential candidates, and RFK Jr.'s stance on mandates — affecting first responders from New York City to Seattle.The pandemic is over, but many careers are, too; the mandates have been lifted, but a significant number of firefighters have been forced to retire or outright fired. As of today they still have not been brought back to work.PFAS live in our homes, firehouses, and the protective clothing we wear. RFK Jr. has been fighting against PFAS issues in our communities for over forty years. We discuss the high cancer rates among firefighters and RFK Jr.'s fight to provide safer and healthier environments for firefighters.We also discuss RFK Jr.'s vision for his administration and pressing issues such as censorship, First Amendment rights, and the status of his ability to participate in the upcoming presidential debates.Frank Ricci and P.J. Norwood are grateful to Fire Engineering, Editor in Chief David Rhodes, Director of Video Mark Haugh, Online Content Manger Pete Prochilo, David Whiteside, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the opportunity to speak to a U.S. presidential candidate about issues that impact firefighters across the country. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rfkjr/message

It was another year for the Pinellas Trail Challenge! This time we've got Matt Clapper, Katrina Pelican, Jeremy Hutson, and Shawn Eckert! Matt has run the PTC in 2021 for his first go at the race after overcoming a serious back injury. Katrina has run the race also in 2021! Jeremy has done the PTC four times now with 2018, 2019, 2020, and now 2022. Shawn is new into the ultra-running scene with this being his first trip to the PTC! Shawn has gone from 446lbs to ultra-runner! With an event like this, there are so many people in the community that a play a role into getting wheels moving and making the race the success it is. Folks like your Race Directors Kelley Hewett and Luis Gomez. Then you've got Brad Park, David Whiteside, Carrie Graves, Susan Murphy, Jeff Iosa, Sonja Craparo, and Staci Guten. All of the volunteers and local organizations from the eight aid stations, bib pick-up, the starting line, and the finish! Tonya Olson was your Medical Director; she's been saving feet at the Western States 100 for many years and was out at the Skunk Ape Night Run! The Pinellas is an Ultramarathon that runs the Pinellas Trail. The race is an out and back event that starts in St. Petersburg, Florida takes you to Tarpon Springs and then back to Dunedin. The length of the race is measured at just over 46 miles! The history of the Pinellas Trail goes back to Florida Railroad boom. The Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line railroads both served St. Petersburg and Clearwater for many years. They merged in 1967 to form the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. After the SCL joined CSX Transportation in the 1980s, 34 miles of trackage in Pinellas County was abandoned, and purchased by the Florida Department of Transportation. After voter approval, the County acquired the property and began construction of what is now the beautiful Pinellas Trail.
