!Please Remain Calm!

EP 113: Nathan Espinosa


Listen Later

We talk to LAFD Firefighter Nathan Espinosa who survived a roof collapse on a major commercial structure fire as a first house rookie. We show video of the incident and you see why his crew assumed he didnt survive. Nathan tells us how he made it, the thoughts that went thru his mind after he fell thru the roof, & what kept him from giving up hope. He talks about how his training saved his life, & the aftermath of surviving a near fatal event, the PTSD, and how he overcame it. We also reminisce on what its like to grow up with your dad on the LAFD and then joining the department yourself. We talk about the drill tower, fireground operations, and what your first big fire is like as a rookie. Plus we cover the unique situation of crawling out of a burned building that everyone assumed you died in.
