Forged & Unbroken

023 - Chris Tobin & Jeff Weffelmeyer of St Louis Fire - Part 2


Listen Later

Chris Tobin of @legacyfirefighting and Jeff Weffelmeyer of @enginehousetraining serve in the second oldest career fire service in the United States, the City of St Louis. In Part 1, Chris and Jeff discuss the cultural firefighting differences in St. Louis, and Chris unpacks a fire he was involved in that showcases the mental stress that firefighters face.

In Part 2, Jeff is kind enough to share his operational experience of the January 2022 Line of Duty Death of FF Benjamin Polson. In the same shift, less than 12 hours apart and in similar conditions, he also explains having to shift mindsets from a LODD to crews pulling multiple people out of a burning home.

I'm honored that these two gents shared some of their experiences with F&U. You'll walk away from these episodes with a greater awareness of the physical and mental struggle we face on the fireground, and a greater passion to work hard and do the right damn thing.
