ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Two weeks ago, I lost my long time friend, mentor and type 1 Incident Commander to a work related illness. He died after being sick for a couple years. Those last two years for him were not good ones. And his illness was the result of our Incident Management Teams deployment to the World Trade Center site following the attacks on September 11, 2001. Other members of our IMT have died since then and many of us are dealing with asthma, sinus and other more serious health issues. Take a few minutes to listen in to this podcast about what’s at risk from a career in wildland firefighting. And do what you can to reduce your exposure the best you can. Thanks for listening.
