Roree Payment has just completed his first year as the Chief of the Clearview Fire and Emergency Services. Prior to that he was the Deputy Fire Chief for the department for the previous 5.5yrs. Having a love for the fire service and being blessed with many great opportunities his 20-year career has taken him through 3 different departments including paid-on-call, composite and career. He is strongly supported by his family, all 5 ladies and very thankful for the people who have taken chances on him and given him opportunities.
On October 10, 2019, the department responded to a residential fire in a rural location. While the call started out relatively routine, things would quickly take a turn for the worse. While Roree and his partner staffed an attack line on the first floor, conditions rapidly changed, both outside and inside, resulting in flashover, a near-miss and ultimately the loss of the structure.

In this episode, we review the Overconfidence chapter of my new book, How Smart Workers Use Situational Awareness to Improve Safety.
Really smart and talented workers can drift over into a minefield of overconfidence – a place the organization really doesn't want them to be. Unfortunately, the worker may not even realize they've drifted onto this dangerous minefield. What causes the drift? From my observation of hundreds of casualty events it is this: Shortcutting best practices while being rewarded with successful outcomes. This episode will talk about why this happens and how to combat overconfidence.

At the time of the call, Mike Beutler responded as a volunteer firefighter with the Happy Valley Fire District (Oregon) to a commercial structure fire in a strip mall in the neighboring community of Damascus. Upon arrival, they found a True Value Hardware store fully involved with flames through the roof and blowing out the front windows.
While operating a hand line from the exterior, Mike stepped under the mansard overhang to advance to the front windows of the now fully involved auto parts store. Moments later, a section of the overhang, approximately 30 feet in length (900 to 1,000 lbs per roofing square), collapsed directly on top of him, pinning him to the ground and surrounding him with flames.

The AskRail mobile app is a safety tool that provides first responders immediate access to accurate, timely data about what type of hazardous materials a railcar is carrying so they can make an informed decision about how to respond to a rail emergency.
AskRail® is a backup resource if information from the train conductor or train consist is not available. AskRail® was designed to give first responders immediate information about railcars carrying hazardous materials and be an invaluable tool for helping prepare those on the front line should a rail incident occur.
Couple this with emergency training and response planning, AskRail® augments the flow of information and specifics between freight railroads and the emergency first responders in communities along the nation's 140,000-mile freight rail network.
