About Forged & Unbroken

Nature doesn’t adjust to your level of skill, so we must prepare accordingly. We are whole beings, not just singular firefighters. There is a massive physical, mental, and emotional component to what we do and how we are expected to perform. Occupational training, daily workouts, growth mindset leadership lessons, and learning through other people’s experiences, across a wide range of industries will make us more resilient, and harden ourselves to the gray area we operate in on the fireground. Through your support, we will also give back to the profession that has given us so much, through charitable donations and firefighting and fitness equipment. Be more resilient to what life throws at us, be harder to kill, be forged and unbroken.

058 - Steve Schulz on Challenging Fires & Crew Continuity

Schulz has over 20 years in the fire service, beginning his journey with the volunteer service in Southern Maryland. He currently services as a Lieutenant on Howard County Fire & Rescue's Special Operations Tower 10. He has been a part of many FEMA deployments throughout the Nation and served as a principal officer on the Union Executive Board. On today's episode, we discuss his origins in the fire service and unpack two challenging fires, one where he helped rescue trapped two civilians during an apartment fire and a near-miss during a partial house collapse during a single family house fire. We discuss the effects of losing his shift mate, Lt. Nathan Flynn (LODD 07/23/2018). We round out the conversation discussing leadership, shift dynamics, and taking care of your people and the profession.

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.
