The Mayday - Listen to the Real Backstory!
FETC (FFN Member) is the host of "Tap the Box" Internet Radio Show. This months show was on the backstory about a Texas Mayday, that injured Captain John Wright and his search partner. The link below will take you to the radio show archive.
Many of us have been trained in RIT, and how to call the Mayday. This radio show will explain first hand, how you "may react" to outside stressors when your logical mindset is diminished. Not many programs can talk about this unless the instructor has survived a stressful near-miss incident themselves.

Long but very informative interview. Very proactive approach where a tragedy near miss was used to help all of us. A must for all company officers and those aspiring to become one. You need to know how to take care of your people and this is part of the puzzle. Nice post FETC.

Too important to be forgotten behind posts on firefighter quotes and dumb ass games.

Thanks Jack and CBzy
Yes it is long but could be a lifesaver. I suggest getting it running and minimize the page, just listen while you surf FFN.

Besides the interview (which I haven't listened to yet) the webpage is very informative with videos, etc to give a good perspective. The Texas brothers did a good job in getting this info out, glad it is on this site too.

John did a great job on the website. The the radio show is a must because it lets firefighters (sitting in their home) hear first-hand information about what happened to him without spending a dime on travel and expenses.
This is the content that is delivered at high end seminars.
