In this episode, we uncover the hottest topic in the fire service today, modifying the firefighter work schedule. You’ll learn how the 2nd Alarm Project is collaborating with Florida State University on a study to look at the mental wellness impacts of a 24/72 workweek coming to the Gainesville Fire Rescue Department. Nick Gonzalez, GFR Lieutenant & IAFF Local President shares insights on the challenges and benefits of this shift.
Dr. Kyle Smith from FSU joins the discussion to provide an academic perspective on the study. Dr. Smith discusses the partnership with Dr. Kellie O’Dare (2AP) and their role in understanding the mental wellness impacts of the research.
