I had the honor of being invited to the Northeastern Fire Summit in Wells,Maine, hosted by the New England FOOLS. While I was there, I had the pleasure of meeting incredible people from all over New England, including Canada, Mississippi and New Jersey.

One of those incredible people where Chris Gray. Chris Gray is a Battalion Chief for Central Falls Fire Department in Rhode Island. BC Gray started as a volunteer/paid call firefighter in Lincoln R.I. where he was eventually hired as a career member. BC Gray started with the Central Falls Fire Department in 2004, and now serves as a Battalion Chief. BC Gray has served on the R.I. Urban Search and Rescue Taskforce, achieving the rank of Squad Leader. Became an Assistant Deputy State Fire Marshal Fire/Arson Investigator for R.I., Lead Instructor for the RI Fire Academy, owner and operator of Truck Co. Manifesto prop design and training company. BC Gray is a Member of the new England FOOLS, Board member and presenter for the International Association of Arson Investigators, which has led him to the field of Lithium Ion battery fires including EV/Hybrids.

BC Gray and I have a brief discussion on his background, how he came to investigating EV and lithium ion battery fires. His experience at the Station Nightclub fire and his own personal struggles with mental health and how to seek help. BC Gray, is one of the most humble and down to earth people that I have had the pleasure to meet. Thank you Chief for spending some time with me and telling us a little about yourself. BC Gray will definitely be a repeat guest on The CAN Report.

I hope you all enjoy this session...Nozzle Tov!!
