Hoarder Firefighting: What We Need to Know!
Interview with Ryan Pennington
About this Episode:
Intro Provided by: Battalion Chief Mike Meyers, FDNY
Hoarding has been becoming a growing concern in our communities. How does this affect us firefighters? What does it matter?
Well, on this episode, I talk with Ryan Pennington, who has done a ton of research on the subject, and he tells us all about hoarding and how it affects us as firefighters and what we really need to know. So many issues arise from hoarder fires and our tactics need to be adjusted because of the different dangers. Get educated on them so you or your crews don’t get hurt. This is something that can happen in any district.
This and more.
