Student Of The Game Fire Podcast

26 years of career experience 2nd generation Firefighter. Deputy Chief of Special operations for Dallas Fire Department. At the age of 10 Cameron was doing ride alongs with his father who retired as Captain with 42 years of service. Cameron knew his calling from the jump and where he wanted to be. He also felt the pressure of having to live up to your last name when your father created a standard. My discussions with Cameron was real, truthful, sincere and honest. The takeaways that can be gained from listening to his experiences should no doubt help any of the listeners who might be going through the same issues. This was a fantastic interview and I truly hope you all enjoy.

New details have emerged about the gunman who opened fire inside a Minneapolis Catholic school. Investigators said 23-year-old Robin Westman was “obsessed” with the idea of killing children and idolized some of the country's most notorious mass murderers. Plus, at the CDC, the confusion continues. The White House has named Jim O'Neill as acting director, but Susan Monarez — the leader they claimed to have fired — insists she's still in charge. And in Washington state, U.S. Border Patrol agents pulled two firefighters off the front lines of a massive wildfire, arresting them for being in the country illegally.

Top Stories for August 28th Publish Date: August 28th PRE-ROLL: MONSTER JAM From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, August 28th and Happy birthday to Shania Twain I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. The Shoppes at Webb Gin launching Webb Gin Safari Zone Report says Gwinnett Sheriff's Office helped ICE in Mario Guevara case First principal named for new Murphy Middle School Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on picky toddlers All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MONSTER JAM STORY 1: The Shoppes at Webb Gin launching Webb Gin Safari Zone The Shoppes at Webb Gin is shaking things up with its new Webb Gin Safari Zone—a 12-week adventure turning empty storefronts into colorful, Zootopia-inspired scenes. Think scavenger hunts, family fun, and a little retail magic. Starting Aug. 30, visitors can explore five rotating safari zones, with a new one unveiled every two weeks. Scan a QR code, complete the hunt, and snag a themed gift. Follow along on social media for sneak peeks, giveaways, and guest highlights. STORY 2: Report says Gwinnett Sheriff's Office helped ICE in Mario Guevara case The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office is under fire for allegedly helping ICE build a case to keep journalist Mario Guevara in custody. Guevara, a Salvadoran journalist with deep roots in Atlanta’s Hispanic community, was arrested in June while covering an immigration protest. Days later, ICE detained him, citing a livestream he’d done on immigration roundups. Then, Gwinnett filed traffic charges from a month prior—charges later dropped. Emails show ICE asking Gwinnett for “anything” to block Guevara’s bond. Critics, including journalism groups, call this a blatant attack on press freedom. Guevara’s fate now rests with a federal judge. STORY 3: First principal named for new Murphy Middle School Jeremy Reily has been tapped to lead Murphy Middle School, set to open next August as Gwinnett County’s newest addition. Reily, currently principal at Bay Creek Middle, will step into his new role in January 2026. The school, part of the Archer Cluster, honors longtime board member Dr. Mary Kay Murphy. Reily’s journey with GCPS started in 2006 as a teacher at Berkmar High. Since then? Stops at Archer High, Snellville Middle, and Peachtree Ridge High before taking the helm at Bay Creek in 2018. Also announced: Angela Bentley will join GCPS as Executive Director of Employee Services. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 2 STORY 4: Duluth car repair shop catches fire while employees work on vehicle A fire tore through Stefan International Car Service in Duluth on Monday afternoon, leaving the repair shop heavily damaged but, thankfully, no one hurt. The blaze started around 1:58 p.m. while employees were working on a car, according to Gwinnett fire officials. By the time crews arrived just three minutes later, flames and thick smoke were pouring from the single-story metal building. Firefighters quickly evacuated everyone, then fought the fire from outside due to structural concerns. It took nearly an hour to get it under control. Investigators ruled the fire accidental, starting near the vehicle being repaired. Georgia Power later secured the utilities. STORY 5: Lawrenceville launches 2025-2026 Legacy Leaders cohort  The City of Lawrenceville and Impact46 just unveiled the 2025-2026 Lawrenceville Legacy Leaders (L3) cohort—38 high school students ready to dive into leadership, service, and civic engagement. Now in its fourth year, the program has become a cornerstone for youth leadership, with over 75 students participating since 2022. Mayor David Still called it “one of the most meaningful ways we invest in the next generation.” This year’s group will tackle workshops, volunteer at city events, and plan their capstone: “WellFest: Positive Vibes, Positive Minds.” Last year’s WellFest? Over 1,000 attendees. We’ll be right back.

Send us a textThe IAFF Center of Excellence stands as a sanctuary for firefighters navigating the complex terrain of mental health challenges. In this revealing conversation with Hannah Elmore, Clinical Outreach Coordinator, we explore how this specialized treatment facility has become a lifeline for nearly 4,000 firefighters across North America.Hannah takes us behind the scenes of this unique 15-acre campus in Maryland, explaining how every aspect—from the station house-style sleeping quarters to the communal kitchen tables—was designed with firefighters in mind. "The IAFF's fingerprints are all over everything we do," she explains, highlighting the unparalleled cultural competency that makes the Center so effective.What struck me most was the Center's commitment to treating the whole person, not just a diagnosis. While many assume PTSD is the primary concern for firefighters, Hannah reveals they address everything from depression and anxiety to substance use disorders and what she calls "administrative betrayal"—that profound sense of being let down by leadership that can be more devastating than emergency calls. The facility's dual licensure for both mental health and substance use treatment ensures comprehensive care without arbitrary distinctions.Perhaps most powerful was our discussion about the fire pit—that simple gathering place where many firefighters experience their deepest healing through connection with peers from across the country. These relationships often continue long after discharge, creating a nationwide network of behavioral health champions who support each other and bring resources back to their departments.The message Hannah wants every firefighter to hear? "You don't have to wait until you reach crisis before reaching out for help." Whether you're struggling with job-related trauma, family stress, or simply feeling that disconnect between your feet and your mind, the Center offers a path forward with culturally competent care that understands the unique challenges of the fire service.Ready to learn more or connect with resources?

Dozens of panicked residents attempted to escape. Many became trapped on the floors above the fire. Others were forced to the top floor windows, gasping for air.In this episode, Battalion Chief Jason Cascone speaks to Battalion Chief Ryan Brito—who was serving as Captain of Ladder 34 at the time—and Firefighter Michael Kotzo of Ladder 28. Together, they recount this challenging, intense operation, which involved multiple interior rescues and three dramatic roof rope rescues. Six medals were awarded at this year's Medal Day in recognition of the extraordinary bravery displayed at this fire.

Hosted by Alpha Warrior, this episode of People features Navy Seabee, firefighter, and veteran advocate Chad Caton in an unfiltered, deeply personal conversation. Chad shares raw stories from his childhood on a farm, where his father instilled toughness and resilience, to his decision to join the Navy and become a Seabee, embracing the grit and chaos of that brotherhood. He dives into life as a firefighter, describing the adrenaline rush of facing down flames, the bond with his crew, and the rivalry with cops that's as funny as it is real. Beyond the uniforms, Chad opens up about loss, leadership, and why advocating for veterans is his life's mission. With brutal honesty, wild humor, and heartfelt reflections, this episode captures the humanity behind the headlines and the fire that drives one of the veteran community's loudest voices.

FIREFIGHTER FOUNDATIONS: FLOWPATHS

The Firefighters Podcast

This episode of the Firefighter Podcast dives into the critical concept of flow paths—the routes that heat, smoke, and fire gases take through a structure, driven by pressure differences, wind, and firefighter actions. Understanding flow paths is essential because every door opened, window vented, or tactic applied can either control the fire or accelerate its spread. Modern fire environments, filled with synthetic materials, produce fuel-rich smoke that behaves like a hidden accelerant, making ventilation timing and coordination more important than ever. Recognizing signs such as bidirectional flow, neutral planes, and wind-driven fire behaviour helps crews anticipate danger before stepping into a deadly path.The episode also highlights tactical applications to manage flow paths safely and effectively. These include isolating fires with doors or smoke blockers, controlling inlets, cooling hot gases, and synchronizing ventilation with attack. Special attention is given to flow-path reversals, wind-impacted fires, and high-rise smoke-control systems—scenarios where poor decisions can quickly turn lethal. Ultimately, managing air is managing fire: when firefighters deliberately control flow paths, they increase victim survivability, protect escape routes, and keep themselves out of harm's way. Failure to do so, however, risks letting the fire dictate the outcomeThe Firefighting Foundations mini-series is a focused collection of episodes designed to lay down the essential building blocks of our craft.

When will you retire? And will you have enough money to live comfortably? Big questions and this week the government announced two major reviews to study them after concerns that today's workers will be poorer in retirement than their parents. The first is a revived Pension Commission with a wide remit. The second is a review into the state pension age. We'll speak to Pensions UK, which represents pension schemes that together provide a retirement income to more than 30 million people. From September working parents of children aged 9 months to school age will get 30 hours of childcare funded by the Government. It simplifies the present system which has different rules at different ages and means working parents of children under three will potentially save thousands of pounds on the cost of childcare. Who is eligible and how does it work?Thousands of people who were retained firefighters are being urged to claim pension payments worth thousands or tens of thousands of pounds. Retained or on-call firefighters generally work part-time. Sixteen thousand of their colleagues have already claimed but a further 10,000 could be eligible to buy back pensions after two legal changes in the past few years.And some money saving tips for anyone going abroad for their summer holiday.Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporters: Dan Whitworth and Jo Krasner Researchers: Eimear Devlin and Catherine Lund Editor: Jess Quayle(First broadcast 12pm Saturday 26th July 2025)

In this special solosode — and the final episode under The Red Light Report name — Dr. Mike Belkowski closes one chapter and opens another. Before unveiling the podcast's rebrand, Dr. Mike delves into new research on red light therapy and methylene blue, providing clarity, context, and scientific insight into some of the most exciting developments in mitochondrial health.   Dr. Mike explores four cutting-edge studies, ranging from oral health to thyroid support, firefighter wellness, and dentin regeneration. Along the way, he highlights how photobiomodulation and methylene blue work synergistically to optimize mitochondria, reduce inflammation, improve cognitive function, and support long-term vitality.   Expect both a nostalgic look back and a forward-thinking glimpse of what's next — including expanded topics, new modalities, and the next phase of this podcast's mission to cut through misinformation and empower you with mitochondria-focused health strategies. Key Topics Covered: Why The Red Light Report is rebranding into a broader podcast How photodynamic therapy (red light + methylene blue) improves oral health Red light therapy's role in managing Hashimoto's thyroiditis Transcranial photobiomodulation for firefighter brain health and resilience The role of NF-κB in mitochondrial function, inflammation, and longevity Cutting-edge insights into dentin regeneration and dental applications of light therapy Key Quotes from Dr. Mike: “Photodynamic therapy—red light plus methylene blue—is a cheaper and potentially more effective way of combating issues in the oral cavity when it comes to plaque and inflammation. It's truly a winning combination.” “The combination of photobiomodulation with targeted supplementation significantly outperforms supplementation alone in normalizing thyroid volume, improving thyroid function, reducing medication needs, and enhancing health in women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.” “This pilot study suggests that transcranial and intranasal photobiomodulation may serve as a well-tolerated, low-risk, cost-effective approach to boost mental health, cognitive health, and wellness in first responders.” Episode Timeline: 00:00:27 – Podcast name change announcement & future direction 00:03:00 – Returning to the roots of red light therapy research 00:04:28 – Oral health study: methylene blue + red light for gingival health 00:12:01 – Red light therapy + supplementation for Hashimoto's thyroiditis 00:19:49 – Firefighter mental health & cognition with transcranial light therapy 00:23:38 – Red light therapy and dentin regeneration potential 00:36:15 – Closing thoughts on the future of mitochondrial health Articles Referenced in This Episode:   Impact of Photodynamic Therapy on Oral Health in Patients Undergoing Fixed Orthodontic Treatment: A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluation of Thyroid Volume Normalisation in Female Patients with Hashimoto Thyroiditis: A 12-Month Comparative Study of Combined Supplements and Photobiomodulation Versus Supplementation Alone Transcranial Photobiomodulation and Firefighter Health and Wellness: A Single-Arm, Open-Label Pilot Study Photobiomodulation Promotes Odontoblast-Like Cell Activity via Reactive Oxygen Species and NF-κB: Implications for Dentin Regeneration SAVE 25% when you SUBSCRIBE to a BioBundle!For a BioBundle, you choose: 1.)

He wasn't able to get hired on his first attempt, but got it on the second. Once he did he knew the type of Firefighter he wanted to be. When you're hired at a young age we sometimes believe that we know it all and this is not a shot at Carl because I was the same way as well. It takes humility, maturity and being around seasoned veterans to show us things we didn't know and that's exactly who Carl surrounded himself with.

Send us a textIn this powerful conversation, Hannah Elmore, Senior Clinical Outreach Coordinator for the IAFF Center of Excellence, reveals the critical role of culturally competent care in supporting firefighter mental health. Drawing from her extensive background in clinical social work and deep immersion in fire service culture, Hannah illuminates the often-overlooked nuances of how mental health challenges uniquely manifest in first responders.The discussion takes us behind the curtain of the IAFF Center of Excellence, a specialized treatment facility created specifically for firefighters seeking help with behavioral health challenges. Unlike traditional hospital settings, this 15-acre facility offers various levels of care in an environment where firefighters can heal among peers who truly understand their experiences. Hannah paints a vivid picture of the Center's approach, from clinical programming to the nightly gatherings around the fire pit—a space intentionally kept free from clinical staff where some of the deepest healing occurs.Perhaps most compelling is the honest examination of barriers that prevent firefighters from seeking help. Hannah addresses head-on the fears about confidentiality and career impact that keep many suffering in silence. "If you're sweeping things under the rug," she cautions, "eventually the rug is going to get a really big mountain that you're going to trip over." This metaphor perfectly captures the cumulative weight of unaddressed trauma and stress.Steve and Hannah also discuss the frustrating reality of therapists who lack the necessary understanding of first responder culture. They share stories of firefighters who've had negative experiences with providers who were overwhelmed by their trauma narratives or misinterpreted symptoms due to cultural ignorance. Their passion for connecting first responders with appropriate, vetted resources shines through as they emphasize their collaborative approach to resource sharing.Whether you're a firefighter struggling with your mental health, a peer support member looking to better assist your colleagues, or a clinician wanting to better serve the first responder community, this episode offers invaluable insights into creating pathways to healing.
