Pete Partridge of the Newark New Jersey Fire Department joins Mickey in the studio for a powerful and insightful conversation that dives deep into the realities of today’s fireground.

They break down the meal, get into running on the fireground, and call out the ridiculousness of command from the car. They unpack the critical decisions that shape outcomes when it matters most. The episode also takes a hard look at the common misunderstandings surrounding search, and how inexperience has begun to infiltrate the training network, bringing needed clarity to one of the most important elements of fire education, experience.

This is a dynamic, thought provoking discussion filled with real experience, perspective, and lessons learned through years on the job.

If you’re serious about the craft, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
