Joined on this episode by the one and only Jonathan Brumley, and I was very excited for the conversation!  Jonathan put up with me bouncing his scrap all around to different dates, but he stuck with me and we made it happen.  We talk about the challenges of advancing big lines, training methodologies, getting out of the firehouse and training in your district... the difference between goals and dreams and so much more!  All of this plus everything that the amazing live audience threw our way!

Multiple emergency service agencies responded to a fire on Memorial Day, May 26, in far west Wilson County that took five hours to extinguish. The fire began in a metal shop and storage building on property at the intersection of F.M. 536 and C.R. 116, near Wilson County's border with Atascosa County. “The call was dispatched at 9:02 a.m.,” Wilson County Emergency Services District (ESD) 5 fire and rescue Chief Adam Strzelczyk told the Wilson County News. “We were the first fire unit to arrive on scene at 9:29 a.m.” By that time, the building was fully engulfed in flames....Article Link

In this first episode from our trip to the Netherlands, I had the privilege of joining leading fire service professionals at the Nederlands Instituut Publieke Veiligheid (NIPV) to explore the latest in smoke cooling experiments. Building on the foundation of the “Smoke Cooling and Nozzle Techniques” report, this phase of research brought together international experts to challenge long-held assumptions, test techniques under controlled conditions, and refine the tactical understanding that underpins firefighter safety. What stood out was the scientific rigor and operational focus of the team, supported by NIPV's world-class facility and welcoming hospitality.Recorded out on the training ground—complete with ambient sounds of fans and firegound operations—this episode captures real conversations with Peter, Nick, Justin, Edward, Pascal, and Rene. We dive into everything from short pulsing and flow rates to nozzle techniques, ventilation, decontamination, psychological assessments for team leaders, and how beliefs about firefighting tactics evolve. These discussions aim to turn cutting-edge research into practical insights for firefighters, instructors, and leaders worldwide. A special thanks to Enduro Protect and Barry Robertson, whose support made this trip possible and whose commitment to firefighter health echoes the spirit of this work. Stay tuned—this is research every firefighter should hear.ACCESS THE PODCAST LIBRARY & EVERY EPISODE, DEBRIEF & DOCUMENT CLICK HEREWATCH ON YOUTUBE HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

Today were talking hazardous materials, detection technology, and how it's reshaping our work in the fire and rescue services.Joining me is Dr. Mark L. Norman, a Senior Field Applications Scientist at 908 Devices and a leading subject matter expert in optical detection technologies. With over 20 years of experience in hazmat detection systems for emergency response, Mark brings both scientific expertise and real-world insight. He holds a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from UNC-Chapel Hill, has authored peer-reviewed publications — including a 2003 collaboration with NASA climatologists — and is an inventor on two patents related to hazardous gas and vapor identification.In our conversation, we talk about the evolution of detection technology — from lab-based instruments to field-deployable units — and the shift that happened post-9/11 when incidents like the anthrax letters drove new levels of investment and innovation. We also unpack common hazmat misconceptions, the difference between gases and vapors, acute vs chronic exposures, and why understanding things like molecular weight and vapor density can literally save lives at the fireground.My hope is this gives you a clearer understanding of how to approach hazmat incidents more confidently, why good detection equipment matters, and how new threats like EV battery fires and fentanyl contamination are pushing the sector to adapt fast.So If you're a firefighter, incident commander, hazmat operator, or someone who just wants to deepen their operational awareness, this episode is packed with practical, relevant insight that will help you do the job better and safer.Connect with Dr. Mark Norman HEREACCESS THE PODCAST LIBRARY & EVERY EPISODE, DEBRIEF & DOCUMENT CLICK HEREPODCAST GIFT - Get your FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

When Kelly Ramsey joined an elite unit of wildland firefighters called the "hotshots" in Northern California, she thought she knew what she was signing up for. But climate change has flipped a switch, transforming wildfires from a natural occurrence into an unstoppable force. We'll hear her story and check in with firefighters in Canada and Australia about what it now takes to put out the flames.

The Ottawa Hospital, one of Canada's most extensive medical facilities, suffered a devastating electrical fire that disrupted the main power supply and knocked out the hospital's emergency power system. Firefighters' efforts to extinguish the flames with water further compromised the electrical infrastructure. Over the next 48 hours, essential services—including 120 beds—were taken offline, and 96 patients had to be relocated, including neonatal ICU infants who were hand-carried down eight flights of stairs.“Although the emergency power system immediately kicked in, it too was soon compromised by both the fire and the enormous amount of water firefighters used to douse it.”Despite rigorous planning and an immediate emergency response, the failure of the backup system transformed a power disruption into a full-blown crisis.AuroraGenerators.com

On this Weekly Update with Rep. Martin Causer (R-McKean, Potter & Cameron), we discuss a citation for the Tri-County Fire School in Smethport, a grant to benefit Bradford, and the Memorial Day Holiday.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for May 22nd Publish Date: May 22nd From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, May 22nd and Happy birthday to Tommy John I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Firefighter Injured As Early Morning House Fire Displaces Family Of 11 In Lawrenceville Gwinnett police launch summer public safety initiative Gwinnett celebrates grand re-opening of homeless services center and shelter Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sodas 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: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Firefighter Injured As Early Morning House Fire Displaces Family Of 11 In Lawrenceville A Lawrenceville home caught fire early Wednesday after a lightning strike, displacing a family of 11 and injuring a firefighter. Fire crews arrived at 2:08 a.m. to find flames in the attic. While battling the blaze, the roof collapsed, injuring a firefighter who was treated and released for non-life-threatening injuries. The family safely evacuated after spotting the fire, and the Red Cross is assisting them. Firefighters controlled the blaze by 2:30 a.m., using multiple units to prevent further damage. Officials stress the importance of fire escape plans and offer community education resources for safety. STORY 2: Gwinnett police launch summer public safety initiative The Gwinnett County Police Department launched a summer safety initiative on May 20 to boost officer visibility, reduce crime, and enhance community engagement. Key efforts include increased patrols in high-traffic areas like malls and parks, daily crime suppression operations, and visible cruise lights on patrol cars. A major focus is community engagement through weekly Chief’s Walks, where residents can meet police leaders, share feedback, and build trust. The initiative aims to ensure a safe, proactive summer while fostering stronger relationships between officers and the community. STORY 3: Gwinnett celebrates grand re-opening of homeless services center and shelter Gwinnett County celebrated the reopening of an expanded homeless outreach center in Norcross, operated by the Latin American Association (LAA) and HTS. Originally opened in 2021 but closed due to flood damage, the center now offers comprehensive services, including a youth drop-in center, a shelter for young mothers, food, clothing, and hygiene facilities. Staff, many with lived homelessness experience, provide case management, housing navigation, and life skills training. The center aims to address rising homelessness, especially among working families and youth, with a focus on stabilizing lives. The $1.2M annual operation relies on grants and donations to sustain its mission. 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: STORY 4: Kemp touts proposed Georgia Power rate freeze Georgia Power's plan to freeze rates for three years, announced this week, was praised by Gov. Brian Kemp as beneficial for customers and Georgia's economic growth. The agreement, pending Public Service Commission (PSC) approval, cancels a planned rate case and follows three rate hikes in recent years due to rising electricity demand. Critics argue the freeze won't prevent increases tied to fuel and hurricane recovery costs, which the PSC will address next year. Kemp dismissed claims of political timing, emphasizing the freeze's role in attracting businesses. A public hearing is set for June 26, with a vote on July 1. STORY 5: Philadelphia Winn Chapter DAR awards Good Citizens and American History Essay Contest Winners Nine Gwinnett County high school students were honored by the Philadelphia Winn Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) for their citizenship and writing skills.

Dr. Kenny Fent, the NFR team lead, joins the podcast to detail the program, which helps connect the dots between cancer and firefighting well beyond previous studies. The good news: Nearly 25,000 firefighters have already signed up. The goal: 200,000 in order to really dial in the types of cancer that impact firefighters the most – and why. As Zam says, the NFR is the “freaking easiest way” to help your fellow firefighters now and in the long run, so register today!

The gap between fire safety engineering and firefighting operations creates a profound challenge that affects building safety worldwide. Even experienced fire safety engineers - myself included - face uncertainty when designing for firefighters without being firefighters themselves. Yet many building codes explicitly require engineers to account for firefighting operations in their designs.This examination dives into the timeline analysis essential for effective firefighter support, from notification (when firefighters learn about the fire) to arrival at the building to actual intervention. Each phase contains complexities often overlooked: fire alarm systems might be delayed by human verification, architectural complexity can significantly slow down firefighters reaching the fire, and building conditions upon arrival dramatically affect intervention capabilities.The assessment of design fires represents one of the most challenging aspects of this engineering work. At what fire size will firefighters begin their intervention? The fire might be growing, steady-state, limited by compartmentation, or controlled by active systems. This crucial but uncertain consideration fundamentally shapes how we design for firefighter safety.Through computational fluid dynamics modelling, we can evaluate the building conditions firefighters will face. Rather than using simple pass/fail criteria, experienced engineers look for smoke layer behaviour and clear access paths. The gold standard is providing smoke-free routes from the building entry to the fire vicinity. When this isn't possible, we must carefully evaluate the conditions through which firefighters must navigate.Fire safety systems - from sprinklers to smoke control, information displays to architectural layouts - all dramatically influence firefighter effectiveness. Yet perhaps the most important principle is creating systems firefighters trust. Overly complex designs may be disabled by firefighters who don't understand them or don't trust them with their lives.The most effective approach combines rigorous engineering analysis with direct input from firefighters themselves. By understanding their actual needs, which might surprise you - we can design buildings that truly support those willing to risk everything to save others. What would your building design look like if you asked firefighters what they really need?Listen to the entire episode with Szymon Kokot here: https://www.firescienceshow.com/051-fire-science-in-eyes-of-a-firefighter-with-szymon-kokot/Want to know what happens in the building after a fire alarm?

Joined this episode by the one and only Jason Joannides! I was excited for the conversation and it did not disappoint. We talked about acquired structures, setting them on fire and the challenges involved when training in them.  We also got to dive into aspects of truck culture and how to build it (try not to eat the crayons) and of course... all the awesome questions that the audience threw our way!

Firefighting is a career with an inherent cancer risk, but a full understanding of what those risks are has been elusive. An important registry designed to help understand the link between firefighters and cancer was taken offline on April 1 because of federal cuts, then restored six weeks later. Host Flora Lichtman discusses this with firefighter health researcher Sara Jahnke and reporter Murphy Woodhouse from Boise State Public Radio and the Mountain West News Bureau. Plus, pests and pathogens are ravaging keystone tree species in forests across the country. Flora discusses the innovative science behind breeding pest-resistant trees with Leigh Greenwood from The Nature Conservancy.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

The Knicks lost, but a glass-half-full outlook suggests they can win at home tomorrow. Individual player stats were poor, and Boomer noted the team's frequent falls. A caller challenged Jerry's earlier statement that the series was over. Jerry played audio of the Knicks' loss in Boston but predicts a Knicks blowout at home. The show featured audio of Tommy Lugauer criticizing Evan Roberts after the game and clips of Evan's commentary when the Knicks were ahead. The hour concluded with a call from the viral NJ firefighter.

Case begins around the 13:00 marker. Factoids- On this episode Daniel talks about lawn mowers. I know!! In January of 2003, a call came into the Butts County 911 call center. A structure was on fire and someone was trapped inside. Firefighters and medical personnel were immediately on the scene. Found inside the shop was the charred remains of a body. Was the deceased a victim of an accidental fire? Caused by poor safety measures? Or were they a victim of something much more sinister? Listen as Melissa tells Daniel the ins and outs of this horrific case.
