The Cool Fireman Podcast is back with Episode 89, and this one’s all about safety, accountability, and keeping your crew out of harm’s way. 🚒🔥
In this episode, Brian, Matt, Freddy, Doug, and Unkie tackle a wide range of topics, including:
- Brian’s question: Are we more distracted in the apparatus than ever before? How does technology help—or hinder—our safety on the road?
- Freddy’s story: A high-pressure response to a school fire highlights the challenges of understaffing and multitasking for officer-in-charge.
- Doug’s mustache wisdom: It’s not just about the ‘stache—Doug shares thoughts on MDT placement, pre-planning, and training rookies on situational awareness.
- Unkie’s safety checklist: The importance of securing equipment, closing compartments, and wearing seatbelts to prevent injuries in case of accidents.
- Matt’s PSA: The importance of "driving with due regard" and the consequences of reckless driving in an emergency.
🛑 Call to Action:
