This episode was recorded August 14, 2024 at Fire-Rescue International in Dallas, TX.

We kick off with an invaluable tactical lesson from Alan Brunacini, reminding us of the fine line between a hazard zone and an amusement park. Strong leadership and well-defined incident command systems can mean the difference between life and death. This episode takes a hard look at the dangers of "recreational firefighting".
