    Project Command Q and A: Is AI Overhyped? Where Are Drones Headed? Future of the Command Post, Stress, and Building Momentum

    n this episode of Project Command, we take a step back and look at what actually moves the needle inside a fire department. We talk about how to get real buy-in on projects and how to build momentum when there is little or no initial support. This is not theory. It is what works when you are trying to move people, resources, and priorities in a complex organization. This episode is driven by questions from you. I enjoy doing these Q and A and AMA style episodes because they keep me accountable to the topics you actually want to hear about. It also gives me a chance to address what is happening in your departments right now, not just what sounds good on paper. We break down the characteristics of effective leadership in today's fire service and what separates leaders who create progress from those who stall it out. The conversation also covers common mistakes departments continue to make, especially when it comes to technology decisions, communication breakdowns, and misalignment between leadership and the field. We spend time on where technology is heading and what it actually means for operations, training, and decision making. That leads into a direct conversation about AI. Is it overhyped, or are departments underestimating how quickly it will impact the job If you are involved in leading projects, implementing change, or trying to improve how your organization operates, this episode will give you practical insight you can apply immediately

    Jared Vermeulen: Communication, Trust, and Influence (Recorded LIVE from FDIC)

    In this episode of Project Command, I sit down with Jared Vermeulen to talk about leadership in the modern fire service and what it really takes to build something that lasts. Jared is the author of The Modern Fire Officer and Building Legacy That Endures, and this conversation dives deep into the ideas behind both books. We move beyond tactics and operations and focus on the leadership skills that often get overlooked but ultimately determine long-term success. We discuss the importance of soft skills in leadership, including communication, emotional intelligence, trust building, and influence. These are the skills that shape culture, drive performance, and determine whether an organization improves or stays stuck. We also talk about what chiefs and organizational leaders need to understand in 2026. The job is changing. Expectations are higher. The environment is more complex. Leaders who rely only on traditional approaches are going to struggle. Jared lays out what leaders need to focus on now to stay effective in the years ahead. This is a conversation about leadership that goes beyond rank, beyond title, and beyond the fireground. It is about building people, building systems, and building a legacy that actually endures. If you are serious about leadership, this one is worth your time. Check out Jared's books here: The Modern Fire Officer: https://a.co/d/0fWpY99k  Building Legacy That Endures: https://a.co/d/0iu0bMvQ  As always, we do not run ads.

    Jeff Lenard Live from FDIC: Lessons from the Flight 5342 Black Hawk Disaster

    Recorded live from FDIC, this episode of Project Command features Duke Cuneo sitting down with firefighter Jeff Lenard from the Washington, D.C. Fire Department to break down one of the most complex and tragic incidents in recent memory. They walk through the January 2025 midair collision involving a commercial passenger jet and a Black Hawk helicopter over Reagan National Airport, examining what happened, how responders managed the incident, and the operational challenges faced in the moment. The conversation goes beyond the headlines. Duke and Jeff dig into the technology that played a role in the response, from aviation tracking tools to on-scene coordination systems, and how those tools helped shape decision making during a rapidly evolving disaster. They also talk through key lessons learned, including communication, interagency coordination, and the realities of operating in a dense urban environment with overlapping jurisdictions. The episode wraps with a look at emerging technology in search and rescue and special operations, and how departments can start thinking now about integrating these tools before the next major incident occurs. If you are involved in operations, command, or planning, this is a grounded, real-world discussion on what works, what breaks, and what needs to improve. As always, we do not run ads.

    Live From FDIC: AI in the Fire Service with Bailey Farren

    Recorded live from FDIC, this episode features a conversation with Bailey Farren, founder and CEO of Perimeter, about what is actually happening with AI in the fire service right now. We get into how her company is using AI to support fire departments, where agencies are seeing real value, and where things are still more hype than reality. Bailey shares what she has observed from working across departments, including how AI is being used globally and how those use cases compare to what we are seeing here in the United States. We also talk about the broader technology landscape. What trends are gaining traction, what leaders should be paying attention to, and where departments can get caught behind if they are not careful. This is a practical conversation. Less theory, more real-world application. If you are trying to understand how AI fits into your organization and what comes next, this one will give you a clear picture.

    Iran Conflict: Implications for the Fire Service, the Energy Markets, and the Global Supply Chain

    An ongoing conflict involving Iran has created significant disruptions to global energy markets and supply chains that directly affect fire and EMS operations. In this episode, Peter breaks down what that means on the ground for fire service leaders, using current data from the EIA, FBI, DHS, and other authoritative sources. We cover the real numbers on fuel costs and what diesel prices have done over the last 30 days, the damage to Gulf energy infrastructure and why a ceasefire does not mean prices snap back, how the just-in-time pharmaceutical supply chain puts EMS medications at risk right now, what the Houthi Red Sea campaign taught us about how slowly shipping and insurance markets recover after a conflict, where fire service PPE and EMS medications actually come from and which ones are most vulnerable, and what federal agencies including the FBI, DHS, and CISA are saying about the domestic security threat. If you lead a fire department, run EMS operations, or manage public safety budgets, this episode gives you the situational awareness you need to start planning today.
