Podcasts about firefighters

In this episode, im joined by Chief Jason Caughey, a fire service leader with more than 30 years of experience and the Fire Chief of Laramie County Fire Authority in Wyoming, to explore the difference between simply training firefighters to complete tasks and genuinely developing people who can think, adapt, take ownership and act with confidence. Together, we examine high-agency leadership, measurable performance standards, psychological safety, servant leadership and the dangers of cultures that teach firefighters to wait for permission rather than solve problems. Jason also shares how his organisation recruits for humility, hunger and practical intelligence, why coaching should come before discipline, and how leaders can give people room to make mistakes without allowing standards to slip. It is a challenging conversation about creating firefighters and leaders who are confident enough to act, humble enough to listen and trusted enough to think.FIND JASON HEREAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast 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 GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOSend us Fan MailSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial turned to the people who arrived first — the Duxbury firefighters and paramedics who walked into the Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, and tried to save what could still be saved. Clancy, 34, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense through attorney Kevin Reddington, who argues she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Captain PJ Hussey, a firefighter and paramedic dispatched to the scene, testified about what the response looked like from the moment crews arrived. Loring "Chuck" Nudd, a now-retired Duxbury EMT who was in the first ambulance on scene, described watching the children brought up from the basement and the aid his crew attempted on the spot. Keith Nette, a firefighter and paramedic, told jurors he worked to treat 3-year-old Dawson in the hospital. Three witnesses, three angles on the same impossible scene — and a jury that had to sit with all of it.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three firefighters die in Crete as wildfires threaten parts of southern Europe, Anton was joined by Damian Mac Con Uladh, Irish journalist based in Athens

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever wondered why some calls escalate fast while others calm down in minutes, the answer usually isn't “more force” or “better scripts.” It's the human skill that gets trained the least and judged the most: how we talk to people when they're at their worst.I'm joined by Liana Lucine, a former Metropolitan Police officer in London with 18 years on the job and deep experience as a police trainer. We get honest about what frontline policing looks like beyond the clichés, including her time working vice and dealing with street prostitution tied to crack and heroin addiction. That opens a bigger conversation about harm reduction, diversion, and why rehab can't be a standalone fix if someone goes back to the same environment without housing, support, or safe relationships.From there, we dig into the internal pressures that wear officers down: constant criticism, endless paperwork, lack of resources, and the quiet damage of feeling unsupported by leadership. Liana shares why she sees this in the training rooms and why many officers are so guarded they expect to be told off before they're taught anything. We also break down de-escalation and why listening often works better than dominating, especially when someone is in crisis and you need compliance without a fight.We close with a reset on resilience. It isn't a badge you earn once. It's situational, learnable, and easier to build when we don't turn our job or our diagnosis into our entire identity.

Melissa Lamesch was just days away from becoming a mother. The 27-year-old EMT from Mt. Morris, Illinois, was full-term and scheduled to be induced any day. On November 25, 2020—the day before Thanksgiving—her home went up in flames.Firefighters forced their way inside and found Melissa dead on the kitchen floor. At first it looked like a tragic accident. Then the autopsy told a different story: no smoke in her lungs, normal carbon monoxide levels, and clear signs of strangulation. Someone had killed her before the fire ever started—and then tried to burn the evidence. The investigation zeroed in on Matthew Plote, a firefighter-EMT and the father of her unborn son. What began as a relationship full of promises ended in a calculated cover-up. DNA under Melissa's fingernails, a web of lies, and a secret Plote was desperate to keep would eventually unravel everything.Timestamps02:38 Melissa's Final Days09:57 The Father Revealed18:18 Racing to the Scene29:57 Questions After the Fire53:20 The Autopsy Changes Everything1:12:36 Clues Start Adding Up1:23:52 Charges and Conviction    

Similarly to the Pixar movie, INSIDE OUT, where her emotions are portrayed as totally different characters that experience different experiences and roles and access different memories.

On the evening of June 22, 2025, FDNY members operated at Bronx Fifth Alarm Box 3360 for a rapidly advancing fire in a two-and-a-half-story private dwelling. As units arrived, heavy fire was consuming multiple e-bikes on the front porch and extending up the front of the building, threatening both exposures. Rescue Company 3, led by Lieutenant Joseph Light, was initially assigned to check for fire extension in the adjacent house before being redeployed to the rear of the original fire building. Inside, members encountered intense heat, dense black smoke, and rapidly deteriorating conditions. As fire conditions worsened, Lieutenant Light heard a Viber-alert from another firefighter's SCBA. What followed was a dangerous firefighter removal operation under punishing conditions. On today's episode, host Battalion Chief Jason Cascone sits down with Lt. Joe Light to reflect on this challenging operation, his remarkable 40-year career with the Department, and what it meant to receive the Hugh Bonner Medal and the Honor Legion Medal at this year's Medal Day ceremony in recognition of his actions during the fire.

Robeson discusses a number of topics, including the ongoing need for volunteer firefighters. Robeson, who has served with Lander Rural Fire for more than six years, says more than 80% of fire departments nationwide are staffed by volunteers, including nearly 89% in Wyoming, and that volunteer firefighter numbers have dropped by 23% over the past 15 years while fire department calls have more than doubled since 2000. (For those interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter, Robeson encouraged residents to contact their local department. In Dubois, prospective volunteers can reach Chief Mike Franchini at 307-450-7625. Those interested in Lander City Fire can call 307-332-2209. Anyone interested in joining the Fremont County Fire Protection District, which includes all 13 rural battalions, can call 307-857-3030 and ask for Kayla or Hannah.

Send us Fan MailYour body can hit full panic speeds while your brain has to make courtroom-clean decisions. That tension sits at the center of my conversation with Eric Robinson, a former pastor turned FBI agent who spent 24 years in the Bureau and served on SWAT. We get real about what it means to approach a door knowing you might meet violence, and why true calm is not bravado, it is competence built through training, repetition, and trust in your teammates.Eric walks us through a deadly force encounter that includes the grim reality of suicide by cop, the adrenaline surge that can slam your heart rate into the 170s, and the strange way time can feel stretched while everything happens fast. We talk about the “fog” that can follow, the mental replay that steals sleep, and why the what if loop feels so sticky even when the shoot is justified. If you work in policing, fire, EMS, dispatch, corrections, or any high-risk role, you'll recognize the mix of duty, humanity, and aftermath.We also dig into what actually supports first responder mental health after critical incidents: solid leadership, a smart after-action review, optional support that people can choose, and a team culture that stays close instead of ostracizing shooters out of legal fear. Along the way we hit the odd corners of FBI work, interagency cooperation, and the dark humor that helps people survive what the public never sees. Eric also shares his “why” and previews his memoir, Irreverend: From Saving Souls to Chasing Sinners in the FBI.If this conversation helps you, share it with someone on your shift, then subscribe and leave a review so more first responders can find it.

Benjamin Martin is coming back to the Scrap, and we've got more to unpack than we'll have time to cover.Benjamin started his career riding the jump seat of a busy urban engine company and recently retired as an Acting Battalion Chief after more than 23 years in the fire service.Many of you know him through EmbraceTheResistance.com, his articles, podcast appearances, or his nationally recognized class, Intoxicated Leadership.Over the last decade, he's challenged many of the assumptions inherited about leadership, helping firefighters at every rank recognize the hidden forces that shape culture, leadership, and performance... and what we can actually do about them.Benjamin isn't afraid to go where a lot of leadership conversations stop. He's willing to talk about the mistakes, the burnout, the difficult conversations, the organizational politics, and the emotional weight that comes with trying to do right by your people. He believes credibility isn't built only on the fireground but rather around the kitchen table, in the hallway, and during the conversations most people would rather avoid.If your ego's flammable... consider this your warning.Some of the rabbit holes we hope to head down include why leaders shouldn't always eat last, why organizations push back against improvement, and why good people quietly stop caring.As always, the live audience helps drive where this conversation goes. Some of my favorite episodes have taken unexpected turns because of the questions and comments coming from the chat.

There are more firefighters than ever — and fewer fires for them to fight. So the job has changed. Zachary Crockett slides down the pole. This episode was originally published on August 4, 2024.
