In this episode, we dig into:


  • Why Independence Day is the busiest day for U.S. fire departments, with skyrocketing calls for fireworks accidents, grill fires, and wildfire response
  • A tragic update on the Idaho sniper ambush that took the lives of Battalion Chiefs Frank Harwood and John Morrison
  • How some organizations are already using artificial intelligence (AI) to lure people onto their websites—tied to a recent Indianapolis firefighter electrocution case
  • A tribute to Anne Burrell, celebrity chef and longtime friend of the fire service through the Leary Firefighters Foundation


We close with a few personal thanks to the creators who inspired this project.
