In this powerful episode of Bomberos on Fire we sit down with Britt Sanchez, a CBRN Specialist with the Air National Guard, professional in Emergency Management, and proud member of the United States Air Force.
Britt breaks down plain and clear what CBRN really means (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear), why HazMat is one of the most underestimated threats in the first responder world, and how preparedness in this field directly saves lives long before sirens ever sound.
We also dive into the human side of the mission. Britt shares how his Mexican heritage, strong family values, and deep love for the United States shaped his path into military service and emergency response. This isn’t just about rank or certifications It’s about identity, sacrifice, discipline, and purpose.
This episode connects the dots between:
• Military service and civilian first responders
• HazMat response and real-world consequences
