Thanks, Jim. Your point is well taken and was a part of the presentation in this webinar from this past January. We discussed that in both Chief Don Abbott's "MAYDAY Project" and numerous NIOSH reports, the initial MAYDAY call over the radio was barely heard or not heard at all. And sadly, Brother Torres may have lost his life due to the same reasons.

Thanks for the tip regarding the BFD's MAYDAY training videos on YouTube. I'll check them out and share what I find our our website, www.5-alarmtaskforcecorp.org.

Stay Safe & Stay Well!
