On today's episode, I'm honored to have Jess Rodzinka, Captain with the Charlottesville (VA) Fire Department. He has around thirty years in the fire service and his experience shows through as we discuss training and leadership, the cultural and historical nuances of where he works, mentoring up and coming students and instructors, and the role of the "Senior Man." You can find him working with "The 350 Line" training group, out at Wichita HOT, a familiar face at Training Days, among others.

Today we breakdown Air Usage Data on two Mayday fires, one with a LODD. In it, we can begin to breakdown increased air demand, those that are not physically and mentally prepared, those that are highly skilled but need to increase their physical wellness, and what the data looks like for those that are tactically proficient as well being able to handle the adrenaline of the event.

Today I'm joined by esteemed guest, Fire Chief Dennis Reilly (ret.). He has had quite the journey from his time on Long Island and entering the Army at 17, to New Jersey, North Carolina, Iraq and Afghanistan as a security contractor, Missouri, California, and Kansas. He has led a life of service and discipline. We discuss leadership, training, wellness, and so much more. A true honor to speak with a student of the fire service for 51 years and still going strong.
