How do you stay honest about risk when the world around you is changing faster than the systems meant to protect it?
Hello Smart Firefighting Community!
Welcome to another episode of covering real world innovations via interviews with fire service and technology industry experts that empower YOU to develop your very own Smart Firefighting strategy.
Recorded live at the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) 2025 Conference alongside the AFAC, WAFA, and Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience Conference in Perth, Australia.
Greg Mullins has lived every part of the fire service, from teenage volunteer to Commissioner of Fire and Rescue in New South Wales. With more than fifty years of experience across Australia and around the world, he reflects on the moment he realized fire behavior was changing in ways that no longer aligned with the patterns the profession once relied on.
He shares how Black Summer sharpened his concern about political inaction, why public trust in firefighters still matters, and how his work with Emergency Leaders for Climate Action grew from a simple belief that truth and safety must come before comfort.
Greg also explains why collaboration between fire engineers and frontline responders strengthens community protection, how education opened unexpected doors in his own career, and why optimism remains essential in high risk work. His perspective is steady, candid, and grounded in decades of service to communities on their hardest days.
So take a listen to hear what he has to share.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
