Mics and Sirens is the official podcast for the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) of Western Australia. With staff and volunteers, both on and behind the frontline, dedicated to protecting our State of more than 2.5 million square kilometres, there are many stories of hope and resilience. From that very first call for help, to those on the frontline putting themselves in harm’s way, and those who pick up the pieces once the sirens fade. We take you behind the scenes to meet the people behind the positions and explore the passion, commitment and grit that keeps communities safe.

Episode 8 – Women leading the (fire) fight

Women on the frontline was once a rare sight, but they are now a rising force in emergency services. It’s a change DFES and other fire agencies have, and continue to, champion. We sit down with the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions Allison Donovan and WA’s first female Level 3 Incident Controller who shares her insights about gender equality in firefighting and an initiative she’s working on to diversify the frontline.  *This series was recorded live at the AFAC25 Conference in Perth. ----- Find us on:  Facebook      https://www.facebook.com/dfeswa [https://www.facebook.com/dfeswa] Twitter (X)      https://x.com/dfes_wa [https://x.com/dfes_wa] Instagram      https://www.instagram.com/dfes_wa [https://www.instagram.com/dfes_wa] TikTok             https://www.tiktok.com/@dfes_wa [https://www.tiktok.com/@dfes_wa] LinkedIn         https://www.linkedin.com/company/department-fire-and-emergency-services [https://www.linkedin.com/company/department-fire-and-emergency-services] Youtube          https://www.youtube.com/dfeswesternaustralia [https://www.youtube.com/dfeswesternaustralia] Website          https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/ [https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/] ----- Credits:  Interviewer: Di Darmody  Producers: Silvana Pulitano and Pippa Woolnough Guest: Allison Donovan, Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions ----- Transcript: For a full transcript of this episode, visit: https://bit.ly/4oAHTyO [https://bit.ly/4oAHTyO] ----- This episode may contain reference to traumatic events.

Episode 6 – Outrunning electric vehicle fires

While there’s an increasing number of electric vehicles on our roads, it’s fortunate that not many of them have caught fire in Australia yet.  But when electric vehicles ignite, their high-voltage lithium batteries release a toxic gas and take a long time to get under control. It’s important for our first responders to know what to do if they ever catch fire.  This episode explores a new tool developed by AFAC and led by Deputy Director for Operations, Emma Conway for first responders to combat electric vehicle fires. *This series was recorded live at the AFAC25 Conference in Perth. ----- Find us on:  Facebook      https://www.facebook.com/dfeswa [https://www.facebook.com/dfeswa] Twitter (X)      https://x.com/dfes_wa [https://x.com/dfes_wa] Instagram      https://www.instagram.com/dfes_wa [https://www.instagram.com/dfes_wa] TikTok             https://www.tiktok.com/@dfes_wa [https://www.tiktok.com/@dfes_wa] LinkedIn         https://www.linkedin.com/company/department-fire-and-emergency-services [https://www.linkedin.com/company/department-fire-and-emergency-services] Youtube          https://www.youtube.com/dfeswesternaustralia [https://www.youtube.com/dfeswesternaustralia] Website          https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/ [https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/] ----- Credits:  Interviewer: Di Darmody  Producers: Silvana Pulitano and Pippa Woolnough Guest: Emma Conway, Deputy Director Operations AFAC & EVEREST Program ----- Transcript: For a full transcript of this episode, visit: https://bit.ly/4rjiiwX [https://bit.ly/4rjiiwX] ----- This episode may contain reference to traumatic events.

Episode 5 – Flying into the frontline

Drones aren’t a new technology, but emergency services are increasingly taking their eyes in the sky to expand their line of sight and improve incident response.  Hear from Russell Turner from Fire and Rescue New South Wales, the agency that manages Australia’s largest Remotely Piloted Aircraft System on the swarms of drones flying directly into the frontline and keeping firefighters safe.  *This series was recorded live at the AFAC25 Conference in Perth. ----- Find us on:  Facebook      https://www.facebook.com/dfeswa [https://www.facebook.com/dfeswa] Twitter (X)      https://x.com/dfes_wa [https://x.com/dfes_wa] Instagram      https://www.instagram.com/dfes_wa [https://www.instagram.com/dfes_wa] TikTok             https://www.tiktok.com/@dfes_wa [https://www.tiktok.com/@dfes_wa] LinkedIn         https://www.linkedin.com/company/department-fire-and-emergency-services [https://www.linkedin.com/company/department-fire-and-emergency-services] Youtube          https://www.youtube.com/dfeswesternaustralia [https://www.youtube.com/dfeswesternaustralia] Website          https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/ [https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/] ----- Credits:  Interviewer: Di Darmody  Producers: Silvana Pulitano and Pippa Woolnough Guest: Russell Turner, Fire Rescue New South Wales  ----- Transcript: For a full transcript of this episode, visit: https://bit.ly/43lHMj4 ----- This episode may contain reference to traumatic events.

Episode 4 – Fire spotters from space

There’s a new game-changing fire-spotter in the sky, named one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2025. Fires as small as five square metres can be detected in just minutes, which helps emergency services act faster, smarter and safer.  Hear from the scientist and strategist Dr Karen O’Connor from the Earth Fire Alliance who is behind the first-of-its-kind technology changing the way we detect potential emergencies and protect people and property across the globe.  *This series was recorded live at the AFAC25 Conference in Perth ----- Find us on:  Facebook      https://www.facebook.com/dfeswa [https://www.facebook.com/dfeswa] Twitter (X)      https://x.com/dfes_wa [https://x.com/dfes_wa] Instagram      https://www.instagram.com/dfes_wa [https://www.instagram.com/dfes_wa] TikTok             https://www.tiktok.com/@dfes_wa [https://www.tiktok.com/@dfes_wa] LinkedIn         https://www.linkedin.com/company/department-fire-and-emergency-services [https://www.linkedin.com/company/department-fire-and-emergency-services] Youtube          https://www.youtube.com/dfeswesternaustralia [https://www.youtube.com/dfeswesternaustralia] Website          https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/ [https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/] ----- Credits:  Interviewer: Di Darmody  Producers: Silvana Pulitano and Pippa Woolnough Guest: Dr Karen O’Connor, Earth Fire Alliance  ----- Transcript: For a full transcript of this episode, visit: https://bit.ly/3JKGGXn ----- This episode may contain reference to traumatic events.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
