The Central Mat-Su Fire Podcast

John and Josh discuss winter operations that come with the changing of the season.

This month on the CMSFD Podcast, we’re diving into RIC operations with special guest Tony Carroll. We break down the role of the Rapid Intervention Crew, firefighter rescue priorities, deployment considerations, training, and the realities of preparing for one of the most critical assignments on the fire ground.

Tony joins us to share his experience, perspective, and practical lessons on what it takes to be ready when a firefighter needs help and every second matters.

John and Josh discuss the importance of fire fighter safety and survival.
