    A Code Red at the Fire Academy with FDNY Paramedics Veronica Cruz and Nyla Page, and Lieutenants Stephen McGowan and Kevin Travis (Retired)

    On a warm summer’s day a new class of fire lieutenants was attending the FDNY’s First Line Supervisors Training program or FLSTP at the Fire Academy on Randall's Island. Members were in the midst of a live burn drill, rotating through the riding positions, when Lieutenant Kevin Travis began to feel progressively unwell. He removed himself from the building and collapsed outside. Immediately a CODE RED was transmitted, which let everyone on scene know that this emergency transmission wasn’t part of the drill. In this episode, host Captain Randy Li, discusses how seconds count when someone is in cardiac arrest, and how lifesaving treatment was administered to Lieutenant Travis immediately by those on scene with guests Lieutenants Kevin Travis (retired) and Stephen McGowan, and Paramedics Nyla Page and Veronica Cruz.

  3. Legacy of Bravery revisited with FDNY Firefighter Josephine Smith

    Legacy of Bravery revisited with FDNY Firefighter Josephine Smith

    On September 11, 2001, Firefighter Kevin Smith was a twenty-three-year veteran of the FDNY and a charter member of Hazmat Company 1, a company he helped build since its inception in 1984. He and his entire company responded to the World Trade Center and were among the 343 members killed that day. He was 47 years old and left behind a wife, Jerri, and eight children.  After his death, Smith’s children continued this legacy of service—serving in the military, joining law enforcement, and fire and EMS departments. But the first to follow in her father’s footsteps as a New York City firefighter was his daughter, Josephine. In 2014, she became the first daughter of a fallen 9/11 member—the first female legacy—to join the ranks as a firefighter.  In 2018, FDNY Pro Films highlighted her initial journey with a film, Legacy of Bravery, which can still be streamed on FDNYPro.org. As we approach the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11th, we reflect on the memories of our fallen and the legacies they leave behind. Firefighter Josephine Smith joins host Elizabeth Cascio on the podcast to discuss her decision to follow in her father’s footsteps, her career and what her life is like 25 years after that fateful day.

  4. How hydroxocobalamin is saving lives on the fireground with FDNY Captain Joseph Spinelli

    How hydroxocobalamin is saving lives on the fireground with FDNY Captain Joseph Spinelli 

    Smoke inhalation is the most common cause of fire-related deaths. Fire victims are exposed to toxic gases like hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide. High levels of cyanide can cause rapid symptoms like confusion, breathing problems and collapse. The body’s cells can’t use oxygen efficiently, which can quickly lead to cellular death and organ failure, so rapid treatment is vital. CYANOKITS containing the powerful and effective antidote to cyanide, hydroxocobalamin, have been carried by our FDNY ALS Units and EMS officers since 2008. In late 2020, REMAC protocols changed, requiring all ALS units in New York City to carry the kits. And lives have been saved. Captain Randy Li welcomes EMS Special Operations Command’s Captain Joseph Spinelli to the podcast to discuss this life-saving treatment.

    On the morning of November 12, 2023, FDNY members in Manhattan executed a dramatic dive rescue in the Hudson River. As initial FDNY units arrived, a witness reported that a man had climbed over the railing and fallen backward into the water. After a brief struggle, he disappeared beneath the surface. Within moments, FDNY surface swimmers and a SCUBA diver entered the river and located the victim 15 feet below. In this episode of the FDNY Pro Podcast, host Battalion Chief Jason Cascone speaks with Firefighter Jacob Dutton—the SCUBA diver involved in the operation—along with Captain Frederick Ill and Battalion Chief Thor Johannessen. All three are veteran rescue divers from FDNY Special Operations Command. They discuss the FDNY SCUBA program in depth, including the decision-making process for operationalizing a dive, the specialized equipment used by the Department and the extensive training required for these high-risk water rescues.
