    Learn more about the Memorial Stair Climb UK team here and how you can support this historic project: https://memorialstairclimb.co.uk/ https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/memorial-stair-climb1 On this episode of Project Command, I sit down with Barnaby Long to discuss one of the most historic firefighter memorial projects ever attempted. Barnaby serves as the Managing Director of the Memorial Stair Climb UK team, which is organizing an unprecedented effort to bring 343 firefighters from across the United Kingdom and Ireland to Atlanta, Georgia, for the 2026 Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund Patriot Day Memorial Climb at Truist Park. Together, these firefighters will climb in honor of the 343 FDNY firefighters who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. We discuss the culture of the UK Fire Service, the international brotherhood shared throughout the fire service, and the enormous project management effort required to coordinate travel, fundraising, logistics, staffing, and operations for a team of this size. Barnaby shares the story behind the mission, why this event matters so deeply to the firefighters involved, and how the project has grown into a historic undertaking that represents far more than just a stair climb. This episode highlights the incredible work being done by the Memorial Stair Climb UK organization and the firefighters dedicating themselves to honoring the legacy of the fallen through service, sacrifice, remembrance, and international unity.

    Project Command Exclusive: Project Management in the Fire Service Chapter 1

    Captain Peter Younes brings listeners a special episode of Project Command with an exclusive reading of the opening chapter from the new book, Project Management in the Fire Service. In this episode, Peter reads the first chapter of the book and explores a problem every fire department faces but rarely talks about directly: we are exceptional at emergency response, but often struggle when it comes to managing organizational projects, technology rollouts, apparatus purchases, station construction, policy implementation, and long-term change. This special preview introduces the core ideas behind the book and explains why project management is becoming one of the most important skill sets in the modern fire service. This is also the only place to hear this chapter in audio format, as the book is not currently available on Audible. Whether you are a firefighter, company officer, chief officer, project manager, or someone trying to move your organization forward, this episode provides a practical introduction to the systems, leadership principles, and project management concepts that are reshaping the fire service. Follow Project Command for more conversations on leadership, technology, organizational change, AI in public safety, and practical project management for emergency services.

    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. If you find value in the show, share it with someone else in the fire service.
