DTFF: The Volunteer Firefighter Podcast - Down To Fight Fire

By Down To Fight Fire

Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It’s during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it’s needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them. Stay Safe Fire Family & Stay DTFF!

E262 - Podcast and Brand Update


This week we made the tough choice to announce a brief break in podcast episodes. All 3 of us are currently being pulled in many directions outside of the podcast which has made creating content increasingly difficult. We felt it was in ours and our listeners best interest to pause production for what could be a few weeks or months and come back with a new focus and a re branding of what we are delivering on a weekly basis. We want to thank each and every one who has been with us on our journey and can’t wait to get back soon chatting with you all.


WHO WE ARE


As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires.



WHAT WE DO

We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe!



WHY WE SHARE

Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It’s during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it’s needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

This Todd and Ash get together while Scott is away training and chat about some of the recent calls they ran while dealing with a cold snap of -25 degree days.

This week are back at it with our first episode of 2024. We recap 2 calls, one being a structure fire at a legacy home on New Years Eve, as well as a Cement Truck roll over with entrapment on New Years Day. Both calls brought out unique challenges that the teams had to work around. Listen as we debrief both and kick off the new year with a bang.

E257: Life Imitates Training


This week we talk about how often real calls mimic what we train. Train vehicle roll over, call to service for vehicle roll over. Have a scenario about a kitchen fire at the Hockey Arena, call to service for a kitchen fire at the arena. Brinks truck rolls over and they give us all the money…. wishful thinking. Hear us talk about the arena training and then a call for exactly that within days of the FTX as well as many other times life has imitated training.

This week we took a look back at our recent training that had Todds department working on VEIS and other search methods. Scott and Ash’s department joined with Parks and Rec to hold an evacuation drill at their local Ice Arena where they added simulated smoke and fire with missing patients.

As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires.



WHAT WE DO

We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe!



WHY WE SHARE

Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It’s during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it’s needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

This week chat about the responsibility that rests on the driver / engineers shoulders.

We then go onto a recent FTX that had a simulated brush fire, vehicle over embankment with two patients to be extricated. We also took a look back and remembered the Fire Fighters and First responders of Sept 11.

E242 - Structure Protection Units and Sprinkler Tactics

E242 - Structure Protection Units and Sprinkler Tactics

E242 - Structure Protection Units and Sprinkler Tactics


This week we discuss adding SPU kits to our fleet and how we have been training on deploying them in our coverage area.


WHO WE ARE

As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires.



WHAT WE DO

We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe!



WHY WE SHARE

Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It’s during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it’s needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires.


WHAT WE DO

We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe!


WHY WE SHARE

Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It’s during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it’s needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

E224- Interview With Autumn Clifford - She’s An Asset . Mindset & Emotional Resiliency Training For the Female First Responder.


This week we had Autumn join us on the podcast. Autumn is a Law Enforcement Officer on the East Coast who has transitioned to helping empower female first responders after battling her own physical and mental trauma.  Listen in to our conversation and be sure to give her a follow on all her social media platforms. 


WHO WE ARE

As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires. 


WHAT WE DO

We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe! 


WHY WE SHARE

Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It’s during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it’s needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires. 


WHAT WE DO

We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe! 


WHY WE SHARE

Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It’s during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it’s needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.
