Brandon Cory is an 11-year veteran of the fire service working in EMS for the past 10 years. He currently serves with the City of Marquette Fire Department in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as a full-time firefighter/paramedic. In March of 2020, Brandon was involved in a mayday situation as a RIC team member that ended up being an LODD. The LODD was that of Banjamen "Ben" Lauren. Listen in as Brandon discusses the fire and the operation from the eyes of the RIC and paramedic that claimed the life of his friend, Ben Lauren.

Brandon is part of Build Your Culture, Great Lakes HOT, and is the MI state lead for the NFFF. He has a fantastic article on the lasting effects of a LODD via Firefighter Nation.
