Guest: Captain Karl Ramm
With 29 years of service, Captain Karl Ramm’s career reads like a masterclass in rescue operations and leadership under pressure. From 13 years as a Rescue Officer to leading missions as a Search Team Manager with NJ-TF1 FEMA Urban Search & Rescue, Karl has been on the front lines of America’s toughest disasters — from Superstorm Sandy to Hurricanes Matthew, Ida, Helene, and Irene.
He’s also a Lead Instructor for Safety & Survival Training LLC and NJ-TF1, shaping the next generation of rescuers in water rescue, boat operations, and special operations disciplines. His accolades include DOD Fire Officer of the Year, Fire Instructor of the Year, and commendations for national disaster response — but what stands out most is his humility, his passion for the craft, and his unwavering dedication to service.
