Podcasts about Fire safety

Your home is supposed to be your safe place, but beware that many of the biggest safety risks are hiding in plain sight. In this episode of Grown Up Stuff, Matt and Lea sit down with home inspector and safety expert Joe Mazza, who you might know from his HGTV shows. He talks about the risks most of us don't think about until something goes wrong. From smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to electrical hazards, radon, fire prevention, and emergency planning, Joe helps separate the truly important safety upgrades from the don't-waste-your-money ones. Whether you're moving into your first apartment, buying a house, raising a family, or just trying to keep the place from falling apart, this episode is full of practical advice you can actually use. You'll learn the most common safety mistakes people make, what every home should have, and the simple steps that can make your home safer without breaking the bank. Because being a grown-up means realizing that home safety is a lot more than remembering to lock the front door.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CLICK HERE JOIN ME AT BLUE LIGHT SHOW | LONDON | JULY 2026On the 6th of January 1995, at five in the morning, a man discovered his sofa was on fire in apartment 509 of a thirty-storey residential block in North York, Toronto. He tried to put it out, failed, and ran leaving his apartment door wide open behind him. That single decision set off a chain of events that killed six people, all of them found above the twentieth floor in smoke-filled stairwells, in a building where the fire never meaningfully spread beyond the room it started in.In this episode I'm delivering a full operational debrief of the Forest Laneway fire, one of the most instructive high-rise residential incidents ever documented. I'm following the physics of stack effect in a thirty-storey concrete building on a sub-zero January night. I'm looking at the scissors staircase design that confused both escaping residents and arriving firefighters. I'm examining the sixteen-minute window of survivable self-evacuation that closed before a quarter of the building had even heard the alarm. And I'm asking the questions this incident demands we ask about how we brief high-rise fires, how we communicate with trapped occupants, and how many of the same failure points are sitting inside buildings in your area tonight.This is not a story about one bad night in Canada thirty years ago. This is a lesson in what happens when ordinary things go wrong in the right order.Podcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE Please check out our Partners supporting this episode areWilliam Wood Watches - Discount code FFPODCAST gives the user 10% off full range on websitePBI high-performance fabrics FIRST TACTICAL- tactical gear for elite operatorsGORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD Send us Fan MailSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

Bernie Meehan spent over 40 years on the front lines as both a paramedic and firefighter — responding to emergencies most people never have to witness. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Bernie opens up about the realities of a career spent in the chaos of life and death situations, the calls that stuck with him long after the sirens stopped, and what four decades in emergency services really does to a person. He breaks down what first responders actually deal with behind the scenes — the adrenaline, the trauma, the toughest moments — and the perspective on life that only comes from spending 40 years running toward danger when everyone else runs away. _____________________________________________ #Paramedic #Firefighter #FirstResponder _____________________________________________ Connect with Bernie Meehan: https://www.facebook.com/bernie.meehan/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 40 Years as a Paramedic and Firefighter — Bernie's Story 00:20 Growing Up in the Country and How It Shaped Everything 01:08 The Family Influence and the Moment He Knew Fire Service Was His Calling 02:11 His First Steps Into EMS and the Fire Service 02:52 Why He Chose Fire Service Over Everything Else 04:08 The Real Relationship Between Fire Service and Law Enforcement 05:06 What a Career as a Paramedic Actually Looks Like 06:12 Early Paramedic Training and the Manhattan Stories Nobody Forgets 07:18 How EMS Has Changed and Why It's Harder Than Ever 08:21 Paramedic vs Nurse — The Differences Nobody Talks About 09:44 How the Drug Crisis Changed Paramedic Work Forever 11:02 EMS Then vs Now — How the Opioid Epidemic Changed Everything 12:54 The Career Defining Moments That Changed How He Sees the Job 13:57 Why Paramedics and Firefighters Don't Get the Recognition They Deserve 15:07 Urban vs Rural EMS — The Quality Gap Nobody Discusses 17:17 Fire Service in Rural Areas and the Ambulance Access Problem 18:52 What It Takes to Become a Firefighter Today vs Then 20:16 The Training Education and Ongoing Learning Nobody Warns You About 22:23 The Biggest Challenges Facing New Firefighters Today 23:28 The Non Emergency Calls That Take Up More Time Than You Think 25:06 Holiday Hazards and the Thanksgiving Stories He'll Never Forget 27:29 How They Prioritize Calls and the Unusual Emergencies Nobody Expects 29:23 The Moments of Real Danger and What Command Leadership Really Looks Like 31:03 How Experienced Responders Predict Emergency Outcomes 32:13 The Most Common Calls and the Hidden Problem of Hoarding 34:34 Hoarding Obesity and the Unique Rescue Challenges Nobody Talks About 38:33 The Real Causes of House Fires and the Safety Culture That Could Prevent Them 40:31 How Modern Technology Is Changing Firefighting and Response Times 43:33 On the Scene — Incident Priorities and the Animal Rescues Nobody Expects 46:09 Coping With Tragedy — How First Responders Handle the Emotional Toll 51:10 How Mental Health Support for First Responders Has Finally Started to Change 54:28 Why There Is Never a Quiet Day in EMS — The Workload Reality 57:24 How Public Perception of First Responders Has Shifted 59:07 The Teamwork Between First Responders That Saves Lives 01:00:50 The Most Difficult Calls — Crashes and How Auto Technology Is Changing Everything 01:06:37 The Practical Safety Tips That Could Save Your Life in a Car Emergency 01:10:58 Holiday Emergencies — Fireworks Nightclubs and the Calls Nobody Plans For 01:14:50 The Unique Calls From Nightlife and What They Taught Him 01:20:26 How First Responders Are Adjusting to New and Changing Risks 01:26:39 Supporting Mental Health After Tragedy — What Actually Works 01:33:31 What It's Really Like Responding Inside Prisons and Institutions 01:37:37 Fire Safety in Prisons and Large Events — What Nobody Talks About 01:41:11 Mental Health Advocacy and the Long Road to Trauma Recovery 01:49:19 His Advice for New First Responders and How the System Needs to Change 01:51:31 Career Reflections — What 40 Years on the Front Lines Taught Him 01:54:10 Why He Embraced the Chaos and What It Gave Him 01:56:00 Final Thoughts — The Power of Change and What Comes Next _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Arson Destroys 1.2M Sq Ft Kimberly-Clark Warehouse: Supply Chain Shock and Warehouse Fire Lessons On this Five-Minute Friday episode of the Industrial Advisors podcast, hosts Bill Condon and Matt McGregor discuss a 1.2 million square foot Kimberly-Clark warehouse fire in the Inland Empire that they immediately suspected was arson because the entire building burned despite sprinkler systems typically containing fires. They note Kimberly-Clark distributes paper goods and that the facility held about 3% of its U.S. capacity serving roughly 50 million people. The fire reportedly began around 12:30 AM during a graveyard shift with about 20 employees present; everyone escaped without casualties, and the suspected arsonist—described as a disgruntled employee of a third-party logistics operator—allegedly live-streamed igniting pallets before leaving and later being arrested. They relate other major warehouse fires and cite an AI search suggesting substantial warehouse fires occur more than once per year, underscoring the need for proper fire suppression systems. 0:00 The Inland Empire Warehouse Fire 1:15 Arson Suspicions and 3PL Impact 2:45 Supply Chain Disruptions 3:50 Historical Warehouse Fires in the Valley 5:10 Fire Safety and Suppression Importance

Fire safety in Europe is shaped in a challenging ecosystem - each member country owns its fire safety rules, yet the construction market, standards, and technical language are increasingly shared. I'm joined by Francesca Sciarretta, Scientific Project Officer at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), to explain how the JRC supports EU decision-making with independent research and why that “science behind the policy” matters for every practicing fire safety engineer.We unpack what the latest JRC work says about performance-based fire safety engineering in Europe and why prescriptive design still dominates. Francesca walks through how the same country can look “performance-based” to engineers but “not allowed” to regulators, depending on how approval pathways, deviation procedures, and legal wording work. We also talk about where performance-based methods show up most often, from smoke control and structural fire engineering to compartmentation, and why complex assets like high-rise buildings, airport terminals, and underground infrastructure frequently demand engineering judgment.From there, we connect fire safety to the sustainable construction ecosystem: the Construction Products Regulation (CPR), the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), major renovations, and the reality that low-carbon innovation must not introduce hidden fire risk. The conversation then turns to the real engine of progress: education, training, qualification frameworks, and liability. If we expect engineers to define scenarios, design fires, safety criteria, and take responsibility, we need credible pathways to competence and continuous professional development across borders.You can find the new JRC report here.Information about the FIEP platform: https://efectis.com/en/fire-information-exchange-platform-fiep-2/----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

Fires.Ryan has spent the last decade helping recyclers protect their facilities from devastating fires caused by lithium-ion batteries and other hidden hazards in the recycling stream. What was once an occasional problem has rapidly become a global issue affecting yards of every size.We break down why fires are becoming more common, what operators can realistically do to reduce the risk, and how early detection and preparedness can make the difference between a small incident and a catastrophic loss.In this episode, we talk about:

Children with autism face increased safety risks, including wandering, drowning, fire emergencies, PICA, and traffic dangers. In this podcast, Dr. Mary Barbera and Dr. Amy Foxman explain why safety skills should be a top priority and how parents and professionals can begin teaching them using practical, evidence-based strategies like Behavior Skills Training. They also highlight the SAFE-T Assessment, a free tool that helps identify a child's most urgent safety risks so families can take meaningful steps to improve safety, independence, and emergency preparedness.

Being a part of broader civil engineering and built environment sciences, we have the unique opportunity to learn from other "sister" disciplines, rather than coming up with everything on our own. Especially, when those disciplines have 100+ years of experience in investigating stuff that has recently emerged as one of the leading challenges in our field.The other discipline is Earthquake Engineering.The interesting stuff - community resilience and managing safety across tens of thousands of buildings exposed to the same hazard.Our field of application - Fire Safety of WUI communitites.And most importantly, my diligent guests: Negar Elhami-Khorasani from University at Buffalo, and Justin Moresco from Applied Technology Council.In this episode we discuss how earthquake engineering deals with hazards through four steps: Hazard assessment, System response (exposure)Damage assessment (vulnerability)Level of loss (consequences)You will learn what are fragility functions and how they are applied. We will also discuss building archetypes and how we can use them to increase or decrease the level of detail in our analysis.If you want more:Conceptualizing a probabilistic risk and loss assessment framework for wildfiresToward Probabilistic Risk Assessment of Wildland–Urban Interface Communities for WildfiresRecommended follow-up podcast episodes:156 - Trigger Boundaries with Harry Mitchell and Nick Kalogeropoulos215 - Lessons from the 2018 Camp Fire with Eric D.

Today we sit down with safety science leader George Boustras - a professor at European University Cyprus, UNESCO Chair in Disaster Risk Reduction and Societal Safety in South East Mediterranean and founder of Centre of Excellence in Risk & Decision Sciences (CERIDES). With George we try to examine fire engineering from the wider safety lens, exploring why culture—not just compliance—decides outcomes.We unpack a practical definition of safety as managed risk and follow the hard-earned lessons from Bradford City, King's Cross, and Piper Alpha to today's performance-based thinking. George explains why engineering effort should focus where complexity and uncertainty truly demand it, and why modeling without common sense leads to false confidence. We dive into real-world behavior in tunnels, the gap between ASET/RSET and what people do under stress, and how a strong safety culture aligns design, operations, and maintenance across a building's life.The conversation tackles urgent risks that don't fit old patterns: lithium-ion battery fires in dense urban housing, micromobility charging in corridors, and emerging wildfire exposure in regions with little prior experience. We outline what works—education that starts early and persists, firm rules with clear roles for citizens, measurable campaigns, and system-level discipline. Borrowing from occupational safety, we highlight safety cases, annual risk assessments, and psychosocial insights that improve decision-making. And we spotlight the “fire scenario” as a powerful, testable playbook for how alarms, fans, dampers, and doors should behave, creating a living matrix for commissioning and maintenance.If you care about moving beyond checklists to safety that holds up under pressure, this conversation is for you.

Some episodes help you protect your money. Some help you protect everything your money makes possible. This episode does both. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG welcome fire safety expert Steve Kerber from UL's Fire Safety Research Institutes, who delivers simple, practical, "do this today" steps that dramatically increase your home's safety. From upgrading outdated smoke alarms to understanding lithium-ion battery risks to spotting hidden hazards most people walk past every single day, Steve gives everyday Stackers the tools to keep their homes and families safer. This isn't scare tactics. It's straightforward guidance from someone who's spent his career studying what actually prevents fires and saves lives. Then the show shifts gears for the headline segment. Joe and OG unpack T. Rowe Price's latest Global Retirement Survey to explore what savers around the world are most anxious about right now. How are people adapting to inflation? Are retirement expectations shifting across different countries? What can you learn from how others are handling the same fears you probably have? The data reveals patterns that might surprise you and insights you can actually use to build more confidence in your own retirement planning. Between these two segments, you'll get Doug's trivia throwdown, a TikTok detour through airport lounge mythology, and a few classic basement moments that remind you why this show mixes serious topics with serious fun. It's a wide-ranging episode packed with actionable takeaways and a good reminder that your financial plan works best when your home, your health, and your long-term outlook are all protected. What You'll Walk Away With: • The small home safety upgrades that make the biggest difference in fire prevention • Why smoke alarms fail more often than you think and how to pick the right replacement • Lithium-ion battery safety covering where to store them, what to avoid, and which myths to ignore • How real-world fire prevention thinking overlaps with smart financial planning habits • What savers around the world worry about most when it comes to retirement • How inflation, longevity concerns, and economic uncertainty are reshaping retirement expectations globally • Practical steps to feel more confident about your long-term retirement plan based on what the data reveals • Permission to take simple safety steps today that your future self will thank you for This Episode Is For You If: • You can't remember the last time you checked your smoke alarms (or know they're overdue for replacement) • You've got lithium-ion batteries around the house but aren't sure if you're storing them safely • You're curious what retirement worries look like around the world and how yours compare • You want retirement insights based on actual data instead of just one expert's opinion • You believe protecting what you have is just as important as growing what you're building Before You Hit Play, Ask Yourself: When's the last time you actually tested your smoke alarms or checked their expiration dates? And what's your biggest retirement worry right now? Drop both answers in the comments because Steve's fire safety tips and the global retirement data might address fears you didn't even realize were universal.
