Listen "Beyond the Fire: The Hidden Risks Firefighters Face"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Fire Headlines, Samantha Didion and panelist, Chief Ken Kehmna, discuss an often-overlooked danger firefighters face while on duty—freak accidents that can lead to severe injuries. Inspired by an article featured in the Daily Dispatch about a Kansas City firefighter who was injured when a fire hose coupling struck his leg, the discussion highlights both the random nature of such accidents and the importance of safety measures to prevent them. From discussing real-world examples to offering key safety reminders, this episode shines a light on how preparedness, public awareness, and training are vital for minimizing risks.
