Nick Martin, Christian Lambis, and Jake Richardson review and discuss a working house fire they all responded to—each offering their unique perspective as the first-due engine officer, first-due ruck company driver, and incident commander. This fire involved two floors of fire and a tactical withdrawal.

The crew will walk through the timeline, decisions, and actions taken from each of their roles on the scene. You’ll get a full picture of incident operations in this brand new format, where we’ll walk through a real incident using actual photos, videos, and audio designed to deliver actionable insights and lessons learned through honest after-action review.
