  • Excellent Resource for a Civilian Supporter

    During the Woolsey Fire, I was floored to learn that California firefighters were not outfitted with hydration packs. I participated in a fundraiser for CalFire and LAFD Foundation to secure them, but I hate to be one who provided in an emergency. Better then than not at all, but I set out to educate myself and maintain my education to support a community that has supported me for as far back as memory serves (Los Angeles West Bureau, Battalion 9 - Engines 23 and 69, especially!) It was then tha... more

  • Very helpful and informative

    As a rookie volunteer firefighter that has been wanting to broaden my knowledge of the fire service I’ve been in search of various resources to help aide me. While there are many great firefighting podcasts out there this has been the most pertinent and informative I’ve found. Great work and thank you.

  • Short and informative

    Love these short, very goal oriented podcasts. It’s a breath of fresh air. Some podcasts you have to listen to 50 mins of nonsense to get the ten minutes of good out of it! Great job, new subscriber here!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Choosing an IC on a Volunteer Response with Richard Ray
Q: What's the number one mistake that an inexperienced IC is likely to make?
The first action on the fireground, especially choosing between initiating a search or managing the attack line.
Choosing an IC on a Volunteer Response with Richard Ray
Q: How do most people get to be incident commanders on a response that's made up of volunteers?
It largely depends on the makeup and the dynamics of the organization, but it's often the most experienced firefighter that takes charge, or the one with IC training.
End of the Road for a Fire Chief with Scott Freitag
Q: Did you authorize battalion chiefs to go to union meetings and then report back to you about who said negative things about you and them?
No. The battalion chiefs are part of the union, so I didn't authorize them to do anything.
End of the Road for a Fire Chief with Scott Freitag
Q: What about the allegation that you wouldn't discuss health insurance coverage during the negotiations with the Union Local? Is that true?
That's a yes and no answer. We just didn't have the personnel that we needed to do a true RFP request for proposal for insurance.
End of the Road for a Fire Chief with Scott Freitag
Q: Did you really call the PFFA a criminal organization?
No, I never called them a criminal organization at all. Not once. They did accuse me of it.
