Listen Later

On this episode of the Better Every Shift podcast, Zam and Janelle dig into the big stories, hot takes and moments that moved us from the month:

  • Damar Hamlin’s medical emergency live on Monday Night Football – and the many “takes” that followed;
  • Controversy over an Alabama firefighter whose tattoo and hair prompted complaints that ultimately led to her dismissal; and
  • The fallen FDNY firefighter whose organ donation saved multiple lives, including two retired FDNY members.

    • We also recognize Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month and offer simple tips for talking to your doctor about the unique health risks firefighters face on the job.
