About This Podcast

Where we explore the tragic Line of Duty Deaths of Firefighters and Paramedics, to learn from these incidents. We will try to produce two of these podcasts monthly. These podcasts are brief Synopsys of the events we have obtained from official reports and published stories. We wanted to provide an easy and convenient method for today’s firefighters to quickly learn lessons of past LODD’s and possibly prevent them from happening again.
