Firefighter Escape Pt 1

Nov. 14, 2006

In this episode of THRU THE SMOKE, Chief Goldfeder and his returning guest Captain Mike Gagliano from Seattle will further discuss the firefighter air management program and YOUR survival....the issues of MANAGING YOUR AIR!

But first, our very special guest is FDNY Firefighter Jeff Cool who will be discussing the critical need for firefighters to have "built in" fire escape bail systems. Jeff knows the issue first hand as he is one of four firefighters who survived "BLACK SUNDAY" in the Bronx when 2 other FDNY members tragically lost their lives...by having to jump out of a multi story building.
