Challenges…this job has plenty of them! To be a firefighter, there are certain attributes necessary, e.g., good physical condition, willingness to learn, practice tasks, dedication to the task, being aware of what you are getting yourself into, etc. Perhaps this last example is the most important. For while we understand that we will see things that we would not want most others to see, sometimes, those incidents are what trouble us, as well. And some of those can be troubling to us; not just when they occur, but days, weeks, even years later. Our guest, District Chief Vernon Hiller of the Toronto Canada Fire Department. With thirty-five years of experience, Chief Hiller has seen it all. And while he has many fire service stories to tell, we discussed what is “beyond” the job of being a firefighter. We discuss the psychological side of the work we do and what the results can be. We are seeing increased occurrences of depression and PTSD troubling our brothers and sisters. The Chief discusses the challenges he faced in school at an early age and his strong efforts to overcome those challenges. More importantly, he made strong efforts to overcome those issues and those efforts buoyed him through his fire service career, where he is now a District Chief. We can let our challenges overwhelm us or we can be stronger than they are and deal with them, while still getting on with a full and productive life. As always, you can catch the video version on our YouTube® channel, 5-Alarm Task Force Corp., on our Podomatic page at https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/dalmatprod206  or tune in to the audio version on your favorite podcast platform!

In this episode, you'll hear the recording of a presentation that was delivered at a 2018 Leadership Under Fire National Conference in Evanston, Illinois. The team was humbled by the caliber of leaders who contributed to the event and the types of leaders who rigorously contemplated the moral, mental and physical aspects of mission-oriented leadership and optimal human performance. To include our guest in this episode, retired Chicago Fire Commissioner Bob Hoff.  A third-generation firefighter, Bob Hoff started his career as a Cadet with the Evergreen Park Illinois Fire Department in 1972. In 1976, he was hired as an EMT with the Chicago Fire Department and in 1977 he entered the Chicago Fire Academy as a Firefighter/EMT. Hoff served in some of Chicago's busiest fire companies throughout his career. He worked in the Bureau of Operations as a Firefighter /EMT, Lieutenant, Captain, and Battalion Chief. He also served as the Director of Training for the Chicago FD and the 1st District Chief in Chicago's downtown high-rise district. He later served as the Assistant Deputy Commissioner of Operations, 1st Deputy Fire Commissioner and Fire Commissioner. He retired from the CFD in 2012 after nearly 36 years of service. Chief Hoff then went on to serve as the Deputy Chief and Chief of the Carol Stream Illinois Fire District until his retirement on January 1, 2020. Hoff's brother, Raymond, was a 32-year veteran of the Chicago FD. His grandfather, Joseph Hoff, retired as a captain in 1936. And his father, Thomas Hoff, was a battalion chief who was killed while fighting a blaze in a South Side apartment building in 1962. His son, Andy Hoff, is an active member of FFPM with the Downers Grove Illinois Fire Department. Uncles, cousins, nephews and brothers-in-laws are all current and retired members of the Fire Service. Notably, his family's service and sacrifice inspired the movie, “Backdraft."

In this discussion, Dean facilitates a discussion of what all levels of law enforcement can learn to help make our schools as safe as the airways. While the Uvalde report is referenced, all guests focus on a proactive path forward from what can be learned so that this type of incident never happens again. His special guest is Chief Joseph Paulino, a long-tine friend of Dean's and career-long leader in safety programs and initiatives in schools, hospitals, and other public spaces. They are joined by Kelle Corvin, LHLN Director of Operations/Business Development who also served as a school parent volunteer, PTA president in the 49th largest school district in the country and the largest in South Carolina, Greenville Schools.  It's a wide-ranging discussion of what school districts can and should be doing and how local law enforcement can support them as well as what parents should know to ask regarding school safety. End Hype with Callye KeenCallye shares 15 years experience launching products and growing businesses.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Rags To RichesRags To Riches will help to develop a ‘have-everything' mindset.

Firefighters, like other emergency services professionals, continuously deal with minor and major stressors which often result in mental health issues. Today's guest, Jason Corthell, is a District Chief with Cypress Creek Fire Department, and suffers from PTSD after surviving the catastrophic collapse of a building in 2015. Though Jason received enormous support in many ways after the accident, nobody addressed the issue of his mental health. Two years later, Jason decided to take on the major task of setting up a wellness program for his department. After realizing how much work went into creating the systems to run the program, and seeing the positive response from his team members to the interventions he put in place, Jason was inspired to share his learnings with the world, to ensure that as many emergency service departments as possible have access to tools which can preserve their mental health.  Key Points From This Episode: Where the idea for Ironclad Wellness originated. The importance of putting systems in place to run any kind of business. Examples of how Jason helps other emergency services departments run their programs as smoothly as possible.Jason shares what his biggest challenge has been in setting up Ironclad Wellness. Two of the questions Jason asked his team members prior to formulating a peer support group in his department. The diversity in Jason's peer support group.How Jason deals with confidentiality in his peer support group. Where Ironclad Wellness received its first grant from. How Ironclad Wellness differs from EAPs. The number of people who have sought counseling through the program. A life changing event that transpired in Jason's life on March 27th 2015. Compound stressors that firefighters continuously deal with. Support Jason received after the catastrophic building collapse he survived.  Tweetables: “It's important to not only be able to implement a system that looks good for face value, but also you have to worry about the back side of things.” — Jason Corthell [0:02:41] “I wanted to make sure that whatever we benefit from, I would try to deliver it to the entire fire service as a whole.” — Jason Corthell [0:06:20] “I feel in my heart that this is the direction I'm being led to serve other firefighters.” — Jason Corthell [0:29:43] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Ironclad Wellness Jason Corthell Email Address Beefy Marketing Beefy Marketing on Instagram Beefy Marketing on YouTube Beefy Marketing on Facebook CommunityBank of Texas

"Today we are at French Camp, Mississippi on our journey up the Natchez Trace Parkway from Natchez to Nashville. "The French Canadian, Lewis LeFleur, established the stand of French Camp along the old Natchez Trace in 1812. He married Rebecca Cravat, a French-Choctaw woman. Their son, Greenwood LeFlore, became a District Chief of the Choctaw Indians, and in the fall of 1830 was principal negotiator at the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek where the last of the Choctaw lands were traded away to the United States. In this treaty the Choctaw were given three years in which to leave Mississippi, but any Choctaw who would agree to submit to the white man's law could stay and receive 640 acres of land -- at least that was in principle, but in practice land agents made it very difficult for the Indians to stay and claim their land. LeFlore on the other hand was granted 2,500 acres of land for his role in the negotiations and others who negotiated for the Choctaw received similar rewards. "LeFlore became a wealthy plantation owner near the city of Greenwood, Mississippi which was named for him. The county too was named for him, LeFlore, county. He built a beautiful antebellum mansion there, Malmaison, and served as a member of the Mississippi Senate. "Join us next time when we'll travel on up the parkway and visit Jeff Busby Park. I'm Frank Thomas, your guide along the Natchez Trace, a road through the wilderness." For more about Natchez Trace: A Road Through the Wilderness, visit eddieandfrank.com

Lou sits down with District Chief Michael Mitchell to discuss NIPSTA, young firefighters, and learning from mistakes. Mike Mitchell is a District Chief who works as a boots-on-the-ground instructor at NIPSTA. NIPSTA is a public safety training academy, that develops and provides high-quality educational programs for the training requirements of fire, police, EMS, public works, hazardous material, and disaster response personnel. One trend Mike’s noticed is firefighters coming into the field today have less experience with basic tools. In the past, many firefighters would work a trade job and have some experience using basic tools which translated to better equipment use. This trend puts pressure on academy’s like NIPSTA to put more emphasis on tool training than in the past. Mike believes every call can be a learning experience. On a recent call, his department had to adapt to a small staging area and limited information. Despite being successful Mike notes a variety of areas they could improve including communication and organizing in a less than ideal staging area. You can learn more about NIPSTA here.

Episode 163: Ryan Lewis is a North Carolina native who found his calling in emergency services through the TV show "Emergency!" He currently serves full-time as a District Chief with Wake County EMS. Since beginning as a fire service explorer scout in the 1980s, he has served in almost every role at both volunteer and career fire and EMS organizations, in areas from rural to urban, and in locations from North Carolina to Texas. Though he considers himself a Tar Heel through-and-through, he graduated a Cowboy from Oklahoma State University, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Fire Protection and Safety Engineering Technology before returning for his Master of Science in Fire and Emergency Management Administration. Ryan has a long-standing interest in the critical analysis of clinical research, human factors in performance, and the journey towards institutionalizing Just Culture concepts in workplaces. We talk about leadership, research, his supervision style, Texas EMS, and how a Tar Heel becomes a Cowboy.

When we have one “cookin,” we know we’re going to need water and lots of it. In most cases, if you’re located in an urban or metro area, water will probably not be a problem, but perhaps pressure may. But, what if we could use less water and what we do use, would have a greater effect on our efforts to extinguish the blaze? My two guests on this podcast, Quincy Emmons and Peter Sells, discuss their product which, they say, can actually accomplish the statement in the last sentence above – “…use less water and what we do use, would have a greater effect on our efforts to extinguish the blasé.” Their Toronto-based company is Fire Rein and their new product is “Eco-Gel.” Both of these men are or were firefighters, Peter was even a District Chief for training. Together with their science team, they developed a product made entirely of food-grade bio products and approved by UL Laboratories and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Instead of me trying to tell you about the product here, you’re better off to tune in to the podcast either at www.dalmatianproductions.tv or your favorite podcast streaming service and hear what they have to say. I will add, that I would really like to receive your comments about this product. If you listen on our podcast host site at http://Bit.ly/5AlarmTFPodcast, you can leave a comment there. Otherwise, please send me an email at dalmatprod-at-outlook.com.
