Peter Matthews talks with Buffalo, NY, Fire Captain Sean Eagen about maydays. Within months, Eagen's former crew was involved in one mayday incident and Eagen himself called a mayday for a downed member and helped mitigate the incident.

Eagen, who has over 20 years in the busy urban city of Buffalo, talks about the fire department and fire responses before detailing the two 2019 mayday incidents. 

The two discuss what Eagen and the department did following the incidents, including crews conducting more mayday and rapid intervention training after the stark reminders off those maydays hit home.

Eagen and John Hayowyk co-host The Thin Redline Podcast. You can follow Eagen on Twitter and contact him by email at [email protected].
