#109 True Story: The West Pharma Explosion and the Fire Chief Who Led the Response
Description
🚨 Complacency Is Creeping In... 🚨
Have we convinced ourselves that nothing big can happen again? That regulations alone will save us?
🔥 This week on The Cool Fireman Podcast, Brian questions the mindset that's settling into the fire service—and we bring the perspective of someone who lived the worst-case scenario.
🎙️ Chief Deral Raynor, Incident Commander during the West Pharmaceuticals explosion in 2003, joins us to share what really happened during the 6-day incident that shook the fire service.
🗓️ New episode drops TOMORROW!
This one’s a reminder: complacency kills.
