Humpday Hangout: Insights from Truck Company Operations, Firefighter Rescue Data, and the Art of the Debrief

In this episode of the Humpday Hangout, fire service leaders and experts have critical discussions about what’s shaping modern firefighting. Jim Silvernail introduces his new book, The Nontraditional Truck Company, which challenges traditional roles by emphasizing effective truck company functions even in departments without dedicated trucks. Jason Marshall, key contributor to the Firefighter Rescue Survey, shares data-driven insights highlighting the importance of search-focused mindsets and strategies that prioritize life safety.

They address a pressing question from a listener: Should children who won’t close their bedroom doors hide in a closet during a fire? The conversation underscores the vital role of isolation but stresses the need for timely, comprehensive search operations. Finally, Matt Dinneen, a fire captain and military veteran, reveals how structured, rank-neutral debriefs modeled on aviation improve crew communication, accountability, and performance on the fireground.
