Fire Prevention Week and VBFD Captain Matt "Chevy" Chiaverotti
In this episode, host Kevin Ferrara starts off by recognizing the 100th Anniversary of NFPA's Fire Prevention Week and the importance of this years theme, "Fire Won't Wait. Plan Your Escape." Kevin talks about how having a plan that variates from time to time will enable those escaping from a fire to be better prepared for the unexpected.
As the podcast continues, Kevin talks about firefighter cancer and how Virginia Beach Fire Department Captain Matt "Chevy" Chiaverotti is currently engaged in a battle to overcome Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer (metastatic carcinoma), a rare and aggressive form of cancer that accounts for less than 2% of thyroid cancers.
Matt is the Captain of VBFD Engine 7, the busiest engine in the department, and is a Search Team Manager with FEMA Virginia Task Force 2, an organization Matt has been with for over 16-years.
