The Buzz on Technical Rescue: Southern California Rescue Ops Roundtable

Host Bob Duemmel  hosted a roundtable podcast at Firehouse World in San Diego last month. He was joined by Kent Freeman, owner of California Health and Rescue Training and Todd Fetters, a captain with the City of Hemet, CA, Fire Department.

Listen as they talk about the current state and future outlook of technical rescue in California. The group discusses how budget challenges are impacting responders in many ways.

The three talk about new technologies and various regulations that govern emergency responders and they share a few operational methods that are being employed by responders on the the West Coast that can be adapted to any department around the country.
