April 14, 2025IER 024 - SCBA Air Usage Data - Mayday & LODD Fires
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.).

February 24, 2025 041 - From Firehouse to Mt. Kilimanjaro & Everest with Kat Hale
In today’s episode, I’m joined by my friend, Kat Hale. Kat was the first career female firefighter to go through an academy class in Frederick County, MD; and we discuss her viewpoints on being a “fireman;” leaving the service to serve in motherhood; and how her wellness journey (crossfitter, marathoner, tri-athlete, and more) supports her drive for adventure at Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Everest, and in life.

February 10, 2025040 - LODD House Explosion & Maydays with Jason Ilowhite
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.
