episode Mentoring New Company Officers – Ariel Jackson artwork
Mentoring New Company Officers – Ariel Jackson

Peter Matthews sat down with Capt. Ariel “AJ” Jackson to look at his role in developing an officer mentoring and training program for the Anne Arundel County, MD, fire officers.  Jackson, a second-generation firefighter, talks about the night he was promoted and the working fire with entrapment that followed. That fire turned into a career-long learning experience for him in which he partnered with another firefighter to develop a company officer mentoring program that’s been used by the department. He takes listeners through the process and offers insights that can be used by any department.  A veteran of the fire service, Jackson finishes up the podcast with an explanation of why he still attends conferences as a student to continue learning.

Transitioning to NERIS: Essential Information for Fire Departments – Tom Jenkins

Peter Matthews sits down with Chief Tom Jenkins to discuss the latest developments with the National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS) and what fire departments should expect as NFIRS is phased out in 2026.   Jenkins breaks down how departments can begin the transition, outlines timelines, and how more than a dozen records management systems have already been approved to integrate with NERIS, paving the way for more seamless, platform-based data sharing.  The expanded capabilities of NERIS, include critical time stamps, resource tracking, and a broader range of incident types and actions.   This new data sets allow fire departments to identity emerging trends that they can respond to, including risk reduction strategies, response methods and more. The data, Jenkins says, allows departments to tell their story.  With data integrity so important in 2025, Matthews discusses why that mindset prompted Firehouse to reevaluate our annual run survey publications.  Resources  * National Emergency Response Information System [https://neris.fsri.org/] * NERIS Onboarding [https://neris.fsri.org/onboarding] * Infographic: NERIS Essentials: What You Need to Know [https://www.firehouse.com/technology/fire-service-data/document/55280793/neris-essentials-what-you-need-to-know?preview-mode=true] * Research Corner: NERIS—Firefighting Data in the Digital Age [https://www.firehouse.com/technology/article/55092211/neris-firefighting-in-the-digital-age]

Pushing Beyond the Status Quo in the Fire Service – Steven Baker

Peter Matthews talks with Assistant Chief Steve Baker of the Plymouth, MN, Fire Department about how fire service delivery has evolved in his region.   Baker shares how the transition from volunteer and paid-on-call firefighters to combination and full-time agencies has led to faster responses and more efficient operations. He highlights the role of regionalized training, inter-agency collaboration, and a consistent command system in driving progress.   Baker emphasizes that lean staffing continues to limit departments from reaching their full potential and both current and future leaders need to understand the mandatory overtime and long work hours will take a serious toll on the next generation of the fire service.    Resources  * MN Public Safety Agencies Partner for Active Shooter Training [https://www.firehouse.com/ems/news/53077239/mn-public-safety-agencies-partner-for-active-shooter-training]
