What is peer support—and why does it matter so much in high-stress jobs? In this episode, you'll learn how it works, what it's not, and why it's saving lives on the front lines.Ever wonder what peer support actually is—and why it seems like everyone's talking about it lately?Too many departments are using the term without really knowing what it means—or how to make it work. Worse, some well-meaning programs fail because they weren't clearly defined or supported.And if you're thinking of starting a team—or you already have one that feels stuck—there's a good chance the problem isn't the people. It's the lack of clarity, training, or purpose.In this episode, I break down what peer support is, what it isn't, and why it matters more than ever for first responders, medical professionals, and anyone working in a high-stress profession.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:What peer support is—and why it's not the same as being a good friendThe difference between Crisis Intervention Peer Support (CISM) and Comprehensive Peer SupportThe practical steps to build or improve a peer support program that actually helpsWhether you're just getting started or trying to level up your existing team, this episode gives you a roadmap to do it right.OTHER LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Share this episodeSchedule a free discovery callQPR Suicide Intervention TrainingCISM and Peer Support Training InfoCitations:Jessica N.

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the FDNY deploys beach Gator units at area beaches, which are staffed by EMTs trained to respond to emergencies on the beach. These units work in partnership with the FDNY Drone Unit, FDNY Fire Companies, the NYPD and New York City Parks Department lifeguards and can more easily navigate the beach and through crowds in their small, specialized vehicle. New York City's beaches are especially crowded during the warm summer months, and Independence Day weekend 2024 was no exception. Just after 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 7, Station 47's beach gator unit sprang into action when five swimmers in a closed section of the beach were caught in large swells and a rip current, slamming them into the Beach 91 jetty as they struggled to say afloat. In this episode, EMT Saverio Bosco and EMT Andrew Ochtera join us to discuss this rescue operation and what a “day at the beach” is like for members working at one the busiest beaches in the city. Captain Randy Li hosts.

Since 2022, New York has experienced more than 800 fires sparked by lithium-ion batteries, leading to 30 deaths and more than 400 injuries. The sudden explosion of battery incidents led FDNY in 2023 to form the Lithium-Ion Task Force, a specialized unit dedicated to addressing the growing threat of fires caused by batteries, particularly those used in e-bikes and e-scooters. Today on the podcast, we talk to John Orlando, the FDNY fire marshal who led the Lithium-Ion Task Force until recently. We chat about the causes and scope of New York City's battery problems, the work of the task force, and how other departments and jurisdictions can work together to achieve similar results, even without FDNY's considerable resources.  LINKS:  See FDNY videos, campaign resources, regulations and more related to lithium-ion batteries See NFPA resources related to lithium-ion batteries Read NFPA Journal articles on: The growing concern about lithium-ion consumer products in homes;  The copious amounts of research happening now to better understand and mitigate battery hazards; The growing concerns about the fire safety of e-bikes and other micro-mobility devices; The lessons from the Surprise, Arizona energy storage system explosion.

Over the past several years, lithium-ion batteries have become increasingly common. Most people are now familiar with the fire risks associated with the batteries used in e-bikes and scooters, devices that have tragically contributed to 34 fire related deaths in New York City since 2021, as of the date of publication. But, the presence of lithium-ion batteries goes far beyond micromobility. They're found in everything from electric vehicles to large grid-scale energy storage systems, some of which are being installed in urban environments within the five boroughs. In this episode, Battalion Chief Jason Cascone hosts a comprehensive discussion with FDNY Chief of Safety James Canty, and Hazmat Battalion Chiefs Ray Coyle and Matt Quinn about why lithium-ion batteries can be volatile, how to safely operate at fires involving them, and mitigating them on the fireground.

In this inaugural episode of the Chief's Cadence, Chief Shane Wheeler sits down with FDNY Chief of Department John Esposito to explore effective leadership approaches in fire and EMS services.   Drawing on over three decades of experience in one of the nation's largest departments, Chief Esposito shares how leadership demands more than just command. It requires adapting styles to fit individuals and situations.   From the decisive authority needed on an emergency scene to the empathy and authenticity crucial for team trust, they break down autocratic, transformational, servant and authentic leadership. They also discuss navigating generational differences, the value of honest feedback through personality assessments, and how new leaders can earn credibility without rushing change.  

40 years of combination experience with 27 of those being served with the FDNY. Retired Capt of Ladder 123. Mike started as a volunteer with Hailsite Fire Department in NY. Going career wasn't on his mind as Mike was making very good money as a heavy machinery rigger. It wasn't until a friend told him about career civil service that Mike then transitioned to being a Police Officer for a stint then moved on to Firefighting which the rest of his career speaks for itself. I throughly enjoyed listening to Mike speak about his career and different viewpoints within the service. But the most important topic he spoke on is making sure we as Firefighters have our own “Household” in order before worrying about everything else with our careers.

30 years of combination experience, 3rd generation Firefighter. A Lieutenant with the FDNY on a truck company in East Harlem & creator of Top Floor Tactics podcast. Mickey's indoctrination into the fire service was during a time America as a whole were more united than ever. When you hear Mickey speak there's no denying the love he has for the profession. Fireman can sense BS a mile away. When one finds their true calling, they discover a sense of purpose and direction in life, often associated with a deep passion or talent they feel drawn to. It's a vocation that provides meaning and fulfills their inner sense of identity. This realization can be a profound and transformative experience. And Mickey Farrell exemplifies just that.

Jerry starts with the sounds of the Knicks beating the Celtics. Knicks fans shut down seventh avenue and even the FDNY got involved turning on the sirens. After the game, Jalen Brunson said there's nothing to celebrate yet. Gio and Jerry know the series is over but Boomer isn't saying that just yet. Gio thinks John Franco is training Matt Harvey to go to every single sporting event in NY.

We are joined this week by former FDNY firefighter/paramedic Vincent Johnson. Vinnie comes to us from Disaster Medical Solutions and a former FEMA USAR team in New York. He and Dr. Joe Holley share information about USAR medical specialist operations training for USAR docs and paramedics.

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.
