Riding Big Red

Find out about the 'boot' at the fire station and what their responsibilities are. Then well take you on a call involving a drunk driver and what happens when there’s more for firefighters to deal with than just an accident. Believe it or not, not everyone wants to be saved in an emergency.

What happens when doctors get involved in an emergency situation outside of their office? In this episode you’ll hear about two different doctors, one that collided with the firefighters and made the situation worse and the other who provided vital information that helped firefighters during an emergency. 

When there is an emergency, firefighters know that minutes aren’t all that matter. In some cases, seconds can be the defining factor that determines life or death. In this episode you’ll hear about the perfect combination of experience and swift action that changed the course of a call that could have ended very differently.

In this episode we’re going to talk about FIRE! We will also take you on a house fire call where nine bodies were found with virtually no eyesight. Then we will discuss why trusting your crew is vital to the job. It is no doubt, a critical component to fire safety.

We are taking you on one of the tougher calls Max went on early in his career. One that has been with him for over forty years. We try to give you a whole new perspective of what firefighters really go through; moving from one emergency to the next, often without any time to process or grieve the immensely tough calls they go on.
