  Daniel Konzelman is an Eagle Scout so he was raised to “Be Prepared.”  But what he was about to face on the morning of December 18, 2017 some could argue no one could be prepared for. Daniel was on his way to work when an Amtrak commuter train derailed, literally, right in front of him.  In this interview, Daniel shares the first-hand perspective of what it is like to be a true first responder (on-scene before any trained personnel). This experience also inspired Daniel to pursue a career as a firefighter and he is now in week 6 of his recruit academy training with the Tacoma, Washington Fire Department.

  There are two ways you can develop the knowledge needed to improve high-risk decision making. First, you can experience events first-hand. This method can be slow and dangerous. Or, you can experience events second-hand. This can be a much quicker and much safer way to develop knowledge.   In this episode, we will discuss how to glean the most experience from: First-hand events Second-hand events Mental rehearsals Near Miss reports Casualty reports Simulations Training     Show Notes   Contact Us www.SAMatters.com www.RichGasaway.com 612-548-4424 (office) 651-331-8518 (cell)     Get connected with SAMatters   Facebook: Follow SAMatters   LinkedIn: Follow Rich Gasaway   Twitter: Follow Rich Gasaway   Instagram: Follow SA_Matters Youtube: Subscribe to SAMattersTV   Itunes: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Stitcher Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Google Play: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   iHeart Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Our Sponsors   Midwest Fire MidwestFire.com   Chief Miller Instagram: @Chief_Miller   Intro music Safety Dance (1982) Men Without Hats GMC - Virgin Records Licensed by BMI Music   Firefighter Near Miss Reporting System http://www.firefighternearmiss.com/   SPONSOR THIS SHOW   The SAMatters Show is the longest running, fastest growing, safety focused weekly program on the Internet.

  On November 14, 2014, Indianapolis Captain (then Lieutenant) Eric Dreiman was assigned on Ladder 19. His station was dispatched at 1159 hours to a reported residential dwelling fire on Holly Avenue, about a half mile from the station. On arrival, the crew had heavy fire showing on the rear of the house and one occupant who had escaped reporting that her son was still inside. Dreiman, along with Firefighter Brian Kincaid made entry to conduct a primary search. Engine 19 was stretching an attack line and would soon follow… or so they thought. The engine experienced a short delay in getting the line charged. Dreiman and Kincaid advanced into the house on the search. There was a sudden change in conditions and Dreiman made the decision to retreat. As the approached the front door, the fire flashed over. Kincaid was exiting on to the front porch. Dreiman was behind Kincaid and was exposed to extreme fire conditions that burned his gear and burned him. Upon exiting, their gear was on fire and they had to be extinguished by the engine crew. Listen to the amazing near-miss story where, if their decision to exit was delayed by only a few seconds, it would have likely resulted in a double line-of-duty death. Observations and lessons learned included: Avoiding the “routine” call mindset. Wear all your gear properly. Train on fire behavior. Learn how to read smoke. Participate in flashover training. Don’t take the engine line advancement for granted. Realize when civilian lives are no longer savable. Understand you can suffer from auditory exclusion while operating in a high-stress environment. Time distortion can impact your awareness.

  On November 14, 2014, Indianapolis Captain (then Lieutenant) Eric Dreiman was assigned on Ladder 19. His station was dispatched at 1159 hours to a reported residential dwelling fire on Holly Avenue, about a half mile from the station. On arrival, the crew had heavy fire showing on the rear of the house and one occupant who had escaped reporting that her son was still inside. Dreiman, along with Firefighter Brian Kincaid made entry to conduct a primary search. Engine 19 was stretching an attack line and would soon follow… or so they thought. The engine experienced a short delay in getting the line charged. Dreiman and Kincaid advanced into the house on the search. There was a sudden change in conditions and Dreiman made the decision to retreat. As the approached the front door, the fire flashed over. Kincaid was exiting on to the front porch. Dreiman was behind Kincaid and was exposed to extreme fire conditions that burned his gear and burned him. Upon exiting, their gear was on fire and they had to be extinguished by the engine crew. Listen to the amazing near-miss story where, if their decision to exit was delayed by only a few seconds, it would have likely resulted in a double line-of-duty death. Observations and lessons learned included: Avoiding the “routine” call mindset. Wear all your gear properly. Train on fire behavior. Learn how to read smoke. Participate in flashover training. Don’t take the engine line advancement for granted. Realize when civilian lives are no longer savable. Understand you can suffer from auditory exclusion while operating in a high-stress environment. Time distortion can impact your awareness.   Contact Us www.SAMatters.com www.RichGasaway.com 612-548-4424 (office) 651-331-8518 (cell)   Facebook: Follow SAMatters   LinkedIn: Follow Rich Gasaway   Twitter: Follow Rich Gasaway   Instagram: Follow SA_Matters Youtube: Subscribe to SAMattersTV   Itunes: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Stitcher Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Google Play: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   iHeart Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Our Sponsors Midwest Fire MidwestFire.com   Chief Miller Instagram: @Chief_Miller   Intro music Safety Dance (1982) Men Without Hats GMC - Virgin Records Licensed by BMI Music   Firefighter Near Miss Reporting System http://www.firefighternearmiss.com/   SPONSOR THIS SHOW   The SAMatters Show is the longest running, fastest growing, safety focused weekly program on the Internet.

  A crew of three firefighters, including Cypress Creek Fire Lieutenant Jason Corthell, ascended an exterior stairwell on a fast-moving apartment fire. The fire was inside the apartment and in the attic. The stairs, constructed of steel and concrete, were not involved in fire. The nozzleman was on the third floor landing preparing to attack the fire. Lieutenant Corthell and District Chief Sanchez were on the second floor landing advancing hose to the nozzleman. Suddenly, without warning or provocation, the stairwell collapsed, trapping the two firefighters who were on the landing. The firefighter that was on the third floor landing rode the debris down to the second floor landing and was uninjured.  Lieutenant Corthell’s radio was dislodged in the collapse and he could not call a mayday. The C-Sector commanding officer, noticing the collapse, called the mayday and deployed resources to successfully rescue the trapped firefighters. Listen as Jason describes what was going through his mind as he was trapped and could not move. How he felt a sense of calm and came to peace with himself that he was going to die and how he prayed that God would take him quickly.   Contact Us www.SAMatters.com www.RichGasaway.com 612-548-4424 (office) 651-331-8518 (cell)   Get connected with SAMatters   Facebook: Follow SAMatters   LinkedIn: Follow Rich Gasaway   Twitter: Follow Rich Gasaway   Instagram: Follow SA_Matters Youtube: Subscribe to SAMattersTV   Itunes: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Stitcher Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Google Play: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   iHeart Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Our Sponsors Midwest Fire MidwestFire.com   Chief Miller Instagram: @Chief_Miller   Intro music Safety Dance (1982) Men Without Hats GMC - Virgin Records Licensed by BMI Music   Firefighter Near Miss Reporting System http://www.firefighternearmiss.com/   SPONSOR THIS SHOW   The SAMatters Show is the longest running, fastest growing, safety focused weekly program on the Internet.

  The first arriving crews attempted to knock down the fire from the exterior but were not success. Subsequently, companies went to the basement, expecting to find fire in the basement. The conditions were warm with very little smoke. The basement design was complex. The BC had the lines charged and started the search for victims and the fire. The crews were cutting holes in the walls and ceilings looking for the source of the fire. Chief Schaeffer arrived and noticed the conditions were getting worse. An order was giving to cut access holes from the exterior. While the BC in the basement was reporting relatively clear conditions there was heavy smoke billowing out of a basement opening viewable from the exterior. Chief Schaeffer became Division 1 (on the first floor). He reported light smoke on the first floor. Companies were doing primary and secondary search on the first floor and look for extension from the basement. Soon, the conditions started changing quickly. Division 1 reported this to the basement Division. The first-floor crews were on their knees. Basement reported no smoke and cold conditions. Exterior reported a dramatic change in conditions. The crew on the first floor was in complete darkness. The first-floor crew exited. However, the crews were still in basement. The conditions continued to change rapidly. An evacuation tone was ordered and Division 1 crews went to the basement, located and assisted the basement crews to safety. Some takeaways from the interview include: You’ll learn how rapidly changing fire conditions can unexpectedly over run the crews. You’ll learn what can happen when the fire does not behave as expected (i.e., when the puzzle pieces don’t fit). You’ll learn how you can become normalized to your environment and may not see the severity of the conditions. You’ll learn how volumes of radio traffic on a single tactical channel can impact scene safety if at-risk crews cannot communicate via radio. You’ll learn how time distortion impacted the perception of speed at this incident.     Show Notes   Contact Us www.SAMatters.com www.RichGasaway.com 612-548-4424 (office) 651-331-8518 (cell)     Get connected with SAMatters   Facebook: Follow SAMatters   LinkedIn: Follow Rich Gasaway   Twitter: Follow Rich Gasaway   Instagram: Follow SA_Matters Youtube: Subscribe to SAMattersTV   Itunes: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Stitcher Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Google Play: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   iHeart Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Our Sponsors Midwest Fire MidwestFire.com   Chief Miller Instagram: @Chief_Miller   Intro music Safety Dance (1982) Men Without Hats GMC - Virgin Records Licensed by BMI Music   Firefighter Near Miss Reporting System http://www.firefighternearmiss.com/   SPONSOR THIS SHOW   The SAMatters Show is the longest running, fastest growing, safety focused weekly program on the Internet.

The house that was on fire was a vacant, dilapidated structure with a fire on the second floor. John was part of a crew that was looking for fire extension on the second floor of this large farm-style house. While on the second floor, John separated from his partner – by his estimates – approximately 20 feet or so, and entered a room where the floor was weakened – not from fire, but from rot. With no warning, John fell through the floor and was caught by his SCBA bottle. This resulted in a Mayday and John’s successful rescue. During this interview, John will share some valuable lessons learned, including: The importance of not being complacent and letting your guard down. Simply because you are in an environment that does not contain a lot of smoke and fire, doesn’t mean you are not in danger. John recalls hearing someone announce the structure was in poor condition and the floors had been compromised – yet he still fell through a weakened spot. At the time, the department did not have a mayday policy and firefighters were not trained to a standardized mayday procedure. Where John is from it is procedure for a Rapid Intervention Team is identified by the dispatcher at the start of the call. John does not recall a specific department or company being names RIT for this incident, even though there were over 40 firefighters on the scene.     Show Notes   Contact Us www.SAMatters.com www.RichGasaway.com 612-548-4424 (office) 651-331-8518 (cell)     Get connected with SAMatters   Facebook: Follow SAMatters   LinkedIn: Follow Rich Gasaway   Twitter: Follow Rich Gasaway   Instagram: Follow SA_Matters Youtube: Subscribe to SAMattersTV   Itunes: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Stitcher Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Google Play: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   iHeart Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Our Sponsors Midwest Fire MidwestFire.com   Chief Miller Instagram: @Chief_Miller   Intro music Safety Dance (1982) Men Without Hats GMC - Virgin Records Licensed by BMI Music   Firefighter Near Miss Reporting System http://www.firefighternearmiss.com/   SPONSOR THIS SHOW   The SAMatters Show is the longest running, fastest growing, safety focused weekly program on the Internet.

On this episode, I interview Firefighter Richard Marcus of the New Hartford Volunteer Fire Department in Connecticut. On May 5, 2006, Firefighter Marcus was in the officer’s seat of New Hartford Engine 1 responding to a report of a fire on the roadside. While in route, they were cancelled and a discussion in the cab caused the driver to become momentarily distracted. For the brief moment that he had his eyes off the roadway, the engine drifted of the right side of the road. While the driver attempted to correct and recover, the engine veered out of control and struck a tree on the officer’s side of the engine. Listen as Richard tells his close call survivor story.   Show Notes   Contact Us www.SAMatters.com www.RichGasaway.com 612-548-4424 (office) 651-331-8518 (cell)   Get connected with SAMatters   Facebook: Follow SAMatters   LinkedIn: Follow Rich Gasaway   Twitter: Follow Rich Gasaway   Instagram: Follow SA_Matters Youtube: Subscribe to SAMattersTV   Itunes: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Stitcher Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Google Play: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   iHeart Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Our Sponsors Midwest Fire MidwestFire.com   Chief Miller Instagram: @Chief_Miller   Intro music Safety Dance (1982) Men Without Hats GMC - Virgin Records Licensed by BMI Music   Firefighter Near Miss Reporting System http://www.firefighternearmiss.com/   SPONSOR THIS SHOW   The SAMatters Show is the longest running, fastest growing, safety focused weekly program on the Internet.

In this episode of the Bombshell Business Podcast Amber Hurdle builds on the PREVIOUS EPISODE’S foundational media plan elements, and gets into how to interact with the media, as well as exactly how to make it easy to cover your business.   Make it Easy to Cover You in the Media   Synthesize your key talking points. (Yes, say them over and over and over again, no matter how many interviews you’ve been on. Only you have heard it that many times, the various audiences have not.)   Create a Media Kit   Before sending your kits out, consider that different outlets will require different angles, so while your kit may be mostly the same, your pitch should be unique.   Create different versions of your media kit including: -A digital PDF that you can email or link to. (Be sure to reduce the file size so it can be reasonably attached to an email. Or link to a Dropbox, Box, or Drive folder that has the correct share settings to grant access to it. -A printed version that can be snail mailed or handed to someone. -A web page version. You can see mine here: amberhurdle.com/media   Media Kit Checklist   Include the following elements in your media kit:   -Product description -Brief bio of you or any key members of your team involved in the story -Press release -Product specs -Sample interview questions (and answers if you want to go that far) -Contact information -Credibility page featuring testimonials, previous media appearances, notable companies you’ve worked with, awards or accomplishments, etc...   How to Make Your Media Kit   You can make a simple media kit in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, or you can make a fancier or more graphically enhances media kit in a free do it yourself design application like Canva or PicMonkey or in Adobe Photoshop if you have those skills. OR if you don’t want to be responsible for it at all, you can search “media kit” in Fiverr and find a super affordable, fast and professional looking solution there.   Recruit a Launch Team   The media probably won’t pay attention to your business, product or service launch if no one else is. That’s why it’s helpful to make your own ruckus by recruiting the help of customers, audience members, friends and family.   Pick one reliable person to handle different aspects of your promotions, then give them very specific to-dos, and let them rally the troops. For example, they can: -Help plan or execute a launch party, or get people there -Share promotional posts on social media -Get/share early access and leave reviews online once your business, product or service actually launches -Participate in/organize a Thunderclap Be sure to tune in to part 3 of this three-part series on how to promote your business to the media!
