Recent severe weather and flooding have seen a huge number of 'states of emergency' declared across the country.

John Price, Director of Civil Defence Emergency Management spoke to Jesse.

I sit down with Chris Case, a firefighter who spent 25 years in Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service before making the leap to Canada and becoming Fire Chief of Chatham-Kent in Ontario.This is not a career-timeline conversation. It is a deep exploration of leadership, identity, and the personal cost of doing complex work in complex systems.We talk about moving beyond the cookie-cutter career, the curse of competence, and what happens when professionalism becomes a golden cage. Chris shares hard-won lessons from counter-terrorism, multi-agency command, senior leadership, and governance, but also from parenting, failure, anxiety, and learning when to stop optimising everything.We explore why managers enforce rules but leaders enforce values, why undefined expectations become premeditated resentments, and why senior officers eventually trade tools for words. We talk about ambition, burnout, anger as fuel, and the danger of confusing progress with peace.This episode is for firefighters at every rank who are trying to do meaningful work without betraying themselves in the process.Connect with Chris Case HEREAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE our partners supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingFIRST TACTICAL- tactical gear for elite operatorsMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD Send us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

DTP Content & Swag: www.threadinesslab.com/dtp-links Show Summary In this short-format Thursday episode of Disaster Tough, John reflects on recent technology disruptions—including the Verizon outage—and what they signal about society's reliance on communications systems.The discussion focuses on why outages themselves are not the core problem, but rather how organizations, communities, and families plan for failure, degradation, and recovery. John explores the tension between embracing new technology and maintaining fundamental skills, pushing back on the idea that innovation should be avoided simply because systems can fail. Drawing on examples from emergency services, military operations, and everyday life, he reinforces the importance of structured thinking around primary, alternate, contingency, and emergency (PACE) planning. The episode also highlights how advanced tools—when layered on top of strong fundamentals—can increase resilience, improve outcomes, and save lives. From mass notification systems to personal family plans, this episode encourages listeners to reassess how they communicate, prepare, and adapt when technology does not behave as expected.

What happens when the power goes out—and it's not an accident?In recent years, attacks on our nation's critical infrastructure have revealed just how fragile these modern systems we all rely on really are. When infrastructure fails, the effects cascade fast: hospitals strain, medical devices stop working, fuel pumps go offline, and public safety degrades. Civilians often suffer the most, even though they play no role in protecting these systems.In this episode, we examine real attacks on the U.S. power grid, what actually happened on the ground, how some plots were detected and stopped, and what these incidents reveal about risk, preparedness, and resilience.We'll also explore what you can realistically do—without paranoia or vigilantism—to recognize warning signs, respond during outages, and reduce second-order effects when systems fail.So, pull up a chair and sit a spell as we talk about When the Grid Fails: Lessons from Real Attacks Nation's Infrastructure.Resources:Learn about DHS' National Infrastructure Protection PlanBaltimore Substation Plot 2022DOJ Press Release on the Washington State AttackAdditional news stories here and hereSupport the showGet Members Only Content when you upgrade to a premium membership on our Substack page.

John Maytham speaks to Arlene Wehr, Cape Town’s first female firefighter and a woman whose career has been defined by breaking barriers and reshaping what leadership looks like in emergency services. Throughout her tenure, Wehr rose steadily through the ranks, becoming the first female Station Officer in 2004, the first female Divisional Commander in 2014, and later, in 2019, the first woman appointed as Head: Operations – District West. Her influence, however, goes far beyond her titles — she has mentored generations of firefighters and helped build a more inclusive service, leaving a legacy as enduring as the city she helped protect. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather.

At a Nov. 6 public hearing, residents raised concerns about traffic, flooding, and the loss of greenspace. Earl Darby didn’t hold back: “We’ve had fatalities on that road... we don’t need more cars until there’s a plan to fix it.” Others echoed worries about stormwater runoff and privacy buffers. The developer, Legacy Design and Development, says they’ll address runoff with a stormwater system, but specifics? Still TBD. STORY 2: Retired Cherokee County firefighter dies after cancer battle Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services is grieving the loss of retired Lt. Dave Burnaugh, who passed away after a relentless fight with cancer. Burnaugh, who retired in September, was diagnosed in 2022 with a Stage 3 brain tumor and a Stage 1 kidney tumor. Despite the odds, he returned to duty last summer after 10 months, greeted by a hero’s welcome from his CCFES family and beyond. Known for his faith, humility, and unwavering dedication, Burnaugh mentored countless firefighters during his nearly two decades of service. His legacy? It’s one of compassion, leadership, and love. STORY 3: Wellstar opens new GI clinic at Cherokee Health Park Last week, Wellstar Health System and the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce celebrated a big milestone at Cherokee Health Park—the addition of gastroenterology services.
