I am joined by Jason Ilowhite of Loundon County Fire & Rescue (VA). We discuss the February 16, 2024 house explosion at 347 Silver Ridge Drive due to a gas leak in a single family home. We provide an brief overview of the incident and Jason recounts his team's role as their element of the Rapid Intervention Operation recovering multiple mayday firefighters. So many incredible lessons to come out of this one.

May we remember Firefighter Trevor Brown.

I had the awesome opportunity to sit and speak with Firefighter Chris Thompson. He has well over two decades of experience, most of which in the Special Operations Community. We discuss his role, as well as the entire MD HART team, as they operated in Western North Carolina rescuing 83 people, 20 cats and dogs, and delivered over 100 cases of food and water over 29 missions in a 10 day period. What MD HART accomplished is nothing short of amazing. I'm thankful to Chris, the Special Operations community, and the MD HART team for their service and mission.

I'm so grateful I've had the opportunity to connect with Zach Troublefield out of the suburbs of Charlotte, NC. On this episode, he discusses his 2023 mayday during a single family house fire, the conditions, the burns he suffered, and the aftermath of dealing with such an incident. He's an open book and he gives us a front row seat with the rawness and realness only someone who experiences this type of incident can muster. Thank you, Zach, for your strength and honesty.
