Lillian Carney is the President and Executive Director for the Carney Strong Initiative. She
joined the non-profit organization in 2018 to honor the memory of her husband, Battalion Chief Josh Carney, who lost his battle with firefighter cancer after 25 years in the fire service. Carney Strong is making a difference in smaller fire departments across the country by providing decontamination supplies and educational resources, at no cost to the department.
Lillian is an outspoken advocate of firefighter cancer prevention and preparedness. Though she does express the need for improving fire ground protocols around decontamination, Lillian focuses her time sharing the lessons learned and hard truths from personal experience. She is hopeful that the straightforward approach of sharing their cancer journey will drive dialogue and preparedness for both the firefighter and their families, protecting them from experiencing similar loss.

Topics Of Discussion
Early Detection/Proactive Approach VS Waiting for the Time to Call the Doctor – I avoid the would have, could have, should have game, but it still needs to be addressed. Our outcome may have been different if we were proactive.
Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Affects EVERY everything -From the moment the words are spoken, everything changes, from the firefighter to the caregiver, to friends and family. Everything is affected –who will drive the kids to school and soccer, who drives the FF to treatment, who cuts the grass. The FF not wanting to be left alone just in case he needs help now alters the caregiver’s freedom with even a simple trip to the grocery store, etc.
Presumptive Cancer Laws - South Carolina – In 2017 (and still today) SC doesn’t any laws in place so Josh’s death in not considered LODD. I started working with other organizations in the state to formulate the SC Firefighter Cancer Coalition. We wrote the bill and worked with state legislature. Fingers crossed on the budget passing, July 1, 2021 the SC Firefighter Cancer Health Care Benefit Plan Act No 168 will be official.
Choices Made While You’re Alive, Prepare Your Family for Life After Death – from life insurance, to family photos, to having a last will and testament, to attending the daddy/daughter dance.

The Rusoh Eliminator is the First complete redesign of the Fire Extinguisher in over 65 Years. 

The Rusoh® Eliminator® fire extinguisher is designed for self-service. It eliminates the need for the specially trained and equipped licensed technician required for traditional extinguishers. That need is based on two concerns: 1) maintaining the stored pressure in the extinguisher at the 185-205 psi levels required to fight a fire and 2) maintaining the otherwise inaccessible agent chemical inside the extinguisher in a fluffed (fluid) state.
 
Concern 1: Correct Pressure: Unlike traditional pressure extinguishers, The Rusoh® Eliminator® fire extinguisher’s contents are not stored under pressure. The Rusoh® Eliminator® is only pressurized when you need it: to fight a fire. The source of the pressure is an expellant cartridge you can check with ease and even replace yourself. It simply screws in place.

Concern 2: Fluffed Agent: Maintaining the agent chemical inside the extinguisher in a fluid state is critical for both the Rusoh® Eliminator® and standard extinguishers. Fine particles in the chemical naturally compact and become dense, potentially making discharge ineffective and putting you and your business at risk.

Regulations for a standard extinguisher require a trained technician to periodically tear down extinguishers. The technician depressurizes the extinguisher, empties and replaces the chemical agent, and then re-pressurizes the unit.

In contrast, the Rusoh® Eliminator® extinguisher’s chemical agent is fully accessible to the user via the patented Rusoh® fluffing wheel located at the bottom of the extinguisher. The Rusoh® wheel eliminates the need for a technician. By periodically turning the fluffing wheel, you can yourself maintain the powder in a fluid state. The Rusoh® fluffing wheel is connected to an auger that fluffs the chemical, ensuring that the agent will flow freely when needed to put out a fire.

Here's a video overview of The Eliminator:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNU6EfdB2fo&t=9s 

The Rousseau Family, who have been in the Fire Extinguisher Service Business for 30+ years, tell of the tragic story which was their epiphany to begin this decade long journey. 

As you can imagine, the hurdles that were and still are being put up by the entrenched extinguisher manufacturers, service companies and manufacturers of generic extinguisher parts, gives testament to

Anthony McNeil is a retired police officer, served 20 years with the Southfield (MI) Police Department, a husband (married 27 years), a father of two beautiful daughters, a entrepreneur, a golf fanatic. 

Listen to some of Anthony's most memorable stories over his career and what made them memorable. He also reflects on the many different positions throughout his service and what loved about them. 

Anthony is the creator and host of “The Off Duty Podcast”.

Two years ago he tried to create a Facebook show where I interviewed the men and women of law enforcement.

The premise of the show was to allow the public the opportunity to see that the men and women that proudly put on that uniform everyday are human!

He discovered that it would be difficult to get officers outside of my region to appear on the show, so he had to shelve the idea.

Then thanks to Joe Rogan (The Joe Rogan Experience and Joe Budden (The Joe Budden Podcast) podcasts became cool and The Off Duty Podcast was born.

RoGo Fire is developing an advanced satellite integrated communication solution
including devices and software designed to enable wildland firefighters to
communicate and access data in remote areas where cellular service is unreliable or
not available.
Our mission is to deliver a communication system that will reduce line of duty deaths,
firefighting expense and property damage, as well as improve firefighter situational
awareness by ensuring a productive deployment of emergency responders and a
more effective hazard response execution utilizing state of the art communications
technology.

On today’s large wild land fires, there is a lack of current and consistent
communication technology to support the firefighting personnel – resulting in
communications inaccuracies, no communication at all and limited timely updates.
This is primarily due to the constant hand-off of information between parties (think the
telephone game), no VHF or cellular service in remote areas, use of two-way radios
and the large distances between parties in a remote emergency scene.

RoGo has developed a patented integrated satellite communications system
incorporating GPS / SatCom enabled tablets/phones and portable GPS transceivers
(Dropballs), the latest incident management software and SatCom communications
providers. Our Firefighting Advanced Asset, Communication, Tracking System
(FAACTS) will enable firefighters to communicate with incident command and
emergency response operations in real time and share up to the minute vital scene
information, like the status & GPS location of firefighters and resources, weather,
digital mapping, photos, changes in assignment, etc.

Initially, we are targeting firefighting and emergency responders who are in desperate
need of newer communication technology. All types of hazard response teams could
utilize this system.

Secondary markets in consideration are DoD, insurance, remote mining, oil & gas,
logging, utilities, outdoor adventure, commercial fishing, remote healthcare and all
hazard incidents.

We extend the functionality of any SaaS platform in cellular denied areas.

The secret sauce of the RoGo System is based on our patented 3-part system. We
offer a completely integrated solution that provides technology and functionality to all
of those involved in wild land firefighting. We are focused on providing a wildland
firefighting solution that brings information

This novel is a work of fiction, loosely based on some of my experiences as a small-town police officer and firefighter. I have changed the names and personal details of the men and women with whom I served and others with whom I interacted in order to protect their privacy.

Joseph Patrick Fair is a father to college age twins Jenny and Ryan; they are the center of his universe. He lives in West Michigan. Also a retired Police Officer and Firefighter who served his community for over 25 years, after a near fatal on duty accident found his inner-author. His writing is trademark courage and camaraderie with a sprinkling of small-town-ism. On any given day, Joseph can be found writing or championing a philanthropic cause. He is a man of purpose and meaning in life.

I live in Oakland with my wife and three kids.  I grew up in Oakland, California, and I now serve the citizens as a Firefighter. I was hired in 2002 and I have worked in the East end my whole career on 7 Truck and 6 Truck companies.  I am currently the senior Firefighter on the B shift at Station 18. In 2007/2008 I dove deep into CrossFit, and then got lost in the world of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which I still practice, along with my weekly yoga practice. I am also an Advanced Certified Trainer in The Wim Hof Method.   Since 2007 I have worked with cadre to train all incoming Oakland Fire Department recruits in the areas of physical fitness, mental and physical fortitude and general mind/body connection to improve overall quality of life at work as well as at home. For as long as I can remember, I was passionate about fitness, overall health, wellness, and general optimization and human potential. Over the years, I’ve found myself seeking the unification of mind, body, soul/spirit to achieve peak performance through all aspects of my life.   Through my coaching experience, I’ve been drawn to coach and train others in much of what I’ve learned. I’ve discovered that sharing this, guiding others and helping them grow brings tremendous joy to my life.
