The Engine House Training Guys are friends and students of the fire service who like to share their combined knowledge and skills with others.  Discussions will include  the most basic tactics and training to leadership and officer development and everything in between.  They love the fire service and look forward to having spirited discussions around the virtual kitchen table or from the engine bumper.

Deputy Chief Anthony Avillo & Jim Duffy host "Fireground Strategies and Other Stuff from the Street."  , this show covers fireground organization and operational safety as well as building construction and choosing a strategic mode of operation from the point of view of those in command of both the fireground and individual companies  We want to ask How do you make sure all your runs come with a round trip ticket?

Anthony and Ed talk about fire command.

The regular Tailboard Talk show is scheduled over Christmas for December 28th. We intended to interview Dr. Stefan Svensson during this mini-episode, but he was called away to a fire (why does everyone else get to have all the fun). So, we goofed around for a few minutes during this mini-episode.  See you on the 28th.

This Friday, Mick Messoline, Fire Engineering author and Web columnist, will host the Firemedically Speaking show.  The topic will be Seasonal Pediatric Respiratory Illnesses and his guest will be a Childrens Hospital of Denver physician.

Chief Rick Lasky & Chief John Salka discuss leadership lessons learned from their experience in the Fire Service. Listen in as they provide effective critiques and tips for every level of the job, from chiefs on down.

A focus on building the foundation of the fire service by introducing  you to the best of the fire service authors and trainers.

Chris Mc Loone brings the pages of "Fire Apparatus and Emergency Equipment" magazine to the airwaves.  Topics covered focus exlusively on those professionals whose job it is to buy Trucks, Tools, Turnout Gear and Firefighting Equipment.

Fire Engineering and Crossfit 4 Fire are partnering to bring the American Fire Service a viable and proven fitness and conditioning program which includes a strong emphasis on mobility, rehabilitation, functional fitness and endurance training for the occupational athlete dedicated to the fire service.

Join Christopher Brennan and P.J. Norwood tonight for "Making the Turn" on Fire Engineering Talk Radio.

The four owners of Traditions Training:  Ricky Riley; Dan Shaw; Doug Mitchell; and Nick Martin provide advice and direction on how to keep combat ready. 

Where education meets experience and expertise.  Learn from the decision makers and talk one-on-one with elected leaders.  Being a great firefighter is not good enough!  Politics effect our staffing, budgets and equipment.  Get involved now with Frank Ricci and Chris Pepler.

This episode was previously recorded on 11/17/2012 to air today.  No live chat and no live callers tonight. Dane Carley, Jeff Wallin, and Craig Nelson explore programs and resources provided by the IAFC to the fire service. Some of these programs, like the Firefighter Safety Culture research being conducted by Drexel University, could change the way the fire service looks at its accidents and bring a new dimension to our service's higher reliability. Then, we will talk with Asst. Chief Todd LeDuc from Broward County Fire and Rescue. This is a unique department because it is under the umbrella of the Broward County Sheriff's Office, which is the only entity to be accredited across three professions - fire, EMS, and law enforcement. We will find out how merging into a sheriff's office went so well and how it improved services to the community. Clay County Minnesota Sheriff Bill Bergquist will also join us to weigh-in from a mostly rural county that faces current financial and recruiting challenges without sharing services.

Join Capt. Mike Dugan (FDNY) and Capt. Mike Gagliano (Seattle Fire) on Wednesday November 21 at 4:30 PM (Pacific) as they share their knowledge and answer your questions.

In the fire service you either "lead, follow or get out of the way." Pat Nichols & Mark Gregory are definitely leaders. Join them as they discuss training that is both interesting and informational.
