On today's episode, I have the awesome opportunity to speak with Dr. Kim Meidenbauer, professor at Washington State University. We discuss her research on heat stress and how it affects decision-making and aggressive behavior, the physiology of what is happening inside the body during exposure to hot environments, as well as the research on how immersion in nature can heal. The parallels to the fire service are many and can change the way we approach our training and operations for service and readiness.

Today I'm joined by Grant Peyronel of DCFD's Rescue Squad 2. We discuss his formative years as a Corpsman in the military, joining DCFD, the rescue culture of DCFD, and the standards set by Special Operations and its schooling. We also discuss his first few months assigned to RS2, as he experienced multiple rescues, January 6th, and namely the January 29, 2025 collision near Reagan National Airport involving an American Airlines jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter, resulting in the deaths of all 67 people on board both aircraft. Out of respect to DCFD members, we kept the conversation light, but the lessons learned are incredibly valuable. Thank you, Grant.

On today's show we have a quick one. This was meant to be a training tidbit for a newly promoted officer, or someone in a float/cover or acting position. What would you do if you are in charge of an engine company and one of your interior firefighters goes missing? While we could expand on this for quite a while, I took five minutes for my Department's OCS class to explain how I would work through the problem. We used Department members to work through multiple fireground scenarios and explained how we would work through the problem; things to consider that you won't find in a General Order or policy.
