Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TODD MAISEL Award winning Photojournalist Author of TO HELL AND BACK
Q: What was your biggest pre-9/11 incident that put you on the map?
The Golden Venture in Rockaway in 1993; I was among the first on the scene and it led to a front-page impact and a substantial portion of my wedding funding from the earnings, establishing my credibility as a photojournalist.
FDNY ASSISTANT CHIEF MICHAEL MEYERS Active
Q: What advice would you give to new chiefs stepping into battalion leadership?
Protect the responders on scene, manage the first five minutes with disciplined, clear communication, stay mindful of the big picture, don't fall back to comfort zones under stress, and use drones to enhance situational awareness.
FDNY ASSISTANT CHIEF MICHAEL MEYERS Active
Q: What was the biggest challenge after 9/11 and how did it affect your career?
9/11 created an era of rapid promotions and a need to rebuild a functional command structure; it taught me the importance of empathy, organizing under pressure, and maintaining safety for responders as the department restructured.
FDNY ASSISTANT CHIEF MICHAEL MEYERS Active
Q: What was Probe School like, and how did you progress into Ladder 175?
Probe School was a formative eight-week program that prepared me for real firehouse life; I started at Ladder 175 in East New York and built mentorships that shaped my approach to leadership and teamwork.
FDNY ASSISTANT CHIEF MICHAEL MEYERS Active
Q: Where are you from?
I'm from Levittown, New York, born in Jackson Heights, and I grew up around the fire service with family members who inspired me to pursue a career in firefighting.
