    20 LODDs in 144 Days, A Wake-up Call for Firefighter Culture? – Daniel DeYear

    Peter Matthews talks with Daniel DeYear, a recently retired deputy chief from Dallas Fire-Rescue, about his work involving LODD investigations in Texas and how it relates to the often contentious discussions on firefighter safety and fire service culture.   DeYear outlines a 144-day period in which his team investigated nearly 20 firefighter deaths – all from fireground operations – including the West, TX, explosion and Houston’s Southwest Inn fire. During his career in Dallas, he lost almost two dozen colleagues in the line of duty, including his rookie school partner and one of his academy instructors, all of which has led DeYear to connect the dots and champion efforts to ensure those patterns are reduced.   DeYear discusses why firefighters tend to focus on being aggressive on the fireground, without being aggressive with education and knowledge building to lead you to make the right decisions.  Resources  Hidden Dangers, Hidden Secrets  Daniel DeYear’s Firehouse bio and contributions   ChiefDeYear.com  Connect with Daniel DeYear on LinkedIn  FireFusion  Station Design Conference

In order to prepare for such incidents, the departments need to begin preplanning and walk-throughs as soon as possible.  He also touches on the need understanding a department’s liability when these facilities come to you community, which often begins with the fire chief or fire marshal starting the discussions from the early stages related to building and life safety codes.  Resources  Brian Gettemeier’s Firehouse bio page & articles   FM Global Firefighter Training   FM Global Fireground Checklist   FireFusion
