    #282 Firefighter Cancer, Decontamination & Particulate Protection

    Episode today from the Firefighter Decontamination & Particulate Protections Seminar 2024 where we spoke with many services attending and many subject matter experts in this space from across the world

    This seminar attended by the podcast in January of 2024 focused on the current epidemic of cancer among firefighters. It is with a sense of urgency that we shed light on this pressing issue and explore avenues for effective solutions. 

    The epidemic of cancer among firefighters is a stark reality that demands our attention, collaboration, and action. It is a challenge that affects not only the individuals who selflessly serve but also their families, colleagues, and the communities they safeguard. 

    In the episode you will hear the current state of affairs regarding firefighter health, delving into the factors contributing to increased cancer risks, and explore strategies to mitigate and prevent these risks. 

    A distinguished panel of experts, researchers, and advocates shared insights, experiences, and innovative approaches to address this critical issue.

    #280 A Firefighters Battle with Cancer with Steve "Robbie" Burns

    #280 A Firefighters Battle with Cancer with Steve "Robbie" Burns

    Steven ‘Robbie’ Burns, Watch Manager in the UKFRS shares his very personal cancer journey with cancer. In January of 2012, he first noticed blood in his urine. After a quick ‘Google’ he reassured himself that this was due to the distance running. He ignored this first warning sign. Eight months on, Robbie experienced another episode. Upon consulting a different doctor, he was referred, on the same day where a Cystoscopy  revealed a huge, coral-like growth attached to  his bladder wall. He was told it was an aggressive cancer and that there would be a ‘journey’ ahead.

    #273 Ryan Phillips - Creativity, being an oddball & How joining the fire service brought out the best in me

    #273 Ryan Phillips - Creativity, being an oddball & How joining the fire service brought out the best in me

    Ryan is a Crew manager in the UK FRS. In this episode we talk about aspects of creativity & how finding outlets for this can bring out the best in us.

    Ryan is part of a band known as Habilis & on the 28th of December 2023 they released their new song “Rise or Fall” and accompanying music video which you can view HERE

    For Ryan this has become the perfect way to merge two important aspects of his life: his career in the fire service, and his need for creativity, music and collaboration with others.

    The music video follows Ryan on his journey to prepare for the British Firefighter Challenge as he is "coached" in person by singer, Gavin, and in spirit by his bandmates. The video is sprinkled with comedy and homages to iconic movie moments.

    The Watts Street Fire, Manhattan, FDNY - March 28th 1994 - Incident Debrief

     On March 28, 1994, a landmark fire occurred in Lower Manhattan. This fire was one of the more heart wrenching events in living memory. It led to the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) changing its protective gear. Firefighters would begin being outfitted for “Bunker Gear” starting May 16, 1994. The fire will forever be known in the annals of the FDNY as the “Watts Street Fire”.
