Are the memories of the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States fading in the public’s memory? If so, who is to blame? Bill Gustin and the other members of the panel consider whether we’ve forgotten the lessons from that horrible event and whether the country is safer and less vulnerable than before. They will also consider some lessons learned from difficult vehicle extrication calls.

Earlier this year, Paul Combs and Mike Ciampo noted a grim milestone for the FDNY. Yet the terrible toll from the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks continues to claim the lives of those who responded that day. Today, we pause to remember and say a prayer for all those felled by the attack: https://ow.ly/Fm0550TkEuY

Garbage Truck Extrication: https://ow.ly/QAEl50Tkh0f On June 7, 2024, Miami-Dade (MDFR) units responded to a motor vehicle collision reported as a “garbage truck versus a tree.” The first MDFR unit arrived and found a front loader garbage truck that had struck three palm trees and one very large mahogany tree. The officer of the first-arriving company established command and, realizing this had the potential to be a prolonged rescue operation, called for a technical rescue response. This consisted of the closest technical rescue fire company, a technical rescue battalion chief, Squad 1, and the “Heavy” 1.

MAYDAY MONDAY Since 2016, the month of September has experienced several fire service line-of-duty-deaths due to gas incidents. Firefighters must be diligent when responding to gas incidents. So many times, these runs turn out to be just an odor, or a minor incident. This can lead to complacency and members not being ready. Full article, plus podcast video and skill drill info here: https://ow.ly/GPOq50TjphL

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION Main Street Memo: Flanking - https://ow.ly/EgrA50Tj3pv Today’s Main Street Memo reminds us to always approach a commercial building with a “flanking” mindset, that is, to keep apparatus and firefighters away from the front and to set up master streams on the corners. This is easy to remember when you pull up to an advanced fire, but when you pull up to the Main Street building with nothing showing or a perceived small fire, doing what we do on most other events (spotting in front) can cause issues. Always keep in mind flanking and spot apparatus on the corners, regardless of whether it’s a routine alarm drop or smoke showing from a block away. It’s up to all of us veterans to remind the Firefighter Jones of our service the value of planning ahead, including apparatus placement.
