We sit down with Chief David Rhodes who's retired from the Atlanta Fire Department. He's also the current Editor In Chief for Fire Engineering and is the man in charge of FDIC.
We had a great discussion, talking about his past in the fire service, Fire Engineering, a little bit about Georgia Smoke Divers, and mostly picking his brain about training and passion.
Here are a few show notes:
Chief Rhodes discussed a Crane Rescue. Two videos are below -
