From the perspective of a professional fire investigator, I provide the history of the area, a breakdown of how and why the disaster occurs, a timeline of the event, and the resulting aftermath. Sometimes delving into the specific failure mechanisms that occurred if the disaster (or disasters) did not come from nature. Listen along as we go through them together.

Love this podcast!
Just found this podcast. I love it. Informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work.
Could do without your “Opinion”
You do a decent job of recounting facts but 1/2 the show is you spewing your personal opinion which absolutely no one cares about nor wants to hear. Stick to telling the story based on facts as you have them.
So good !
Just stumbled on this podcast after being very disappointed in one about the coconut grove nightclub fire and looking for another. I’m 5 episodes deep and have to say I’m rather impressed
Stories are very well told , research seems great , narration is wonderful, accent is adorable. So far I’m a fan ! Glad to see you’re making new episodes
