Mayday Monday: Inside Baltimore County’s Firefighter Mayday

 
During this episode of Mayday Monday, Baltimore County’s Scott Ebbert, Ken Hughes, and Michael Dennis share firsthand accounts and insights from a harrowing 2023 commercial fire incident. The dialogue explores critical challenges, including delayed dispatch due to antiquated systems, the complexities of managing large battalions with minimal chief officers, and the evolving role of thermal imaging cameras on the fireground.

This episode also highlights the department’s commitment to mental health support and ongoing operational reforms.
