Tonight we sit down with Sons of the Flag President, Ryan "Birdman" Parrott, Director of Development, Sherry Whitby, and National Task Force Director, Chad Gruver. We'll be having a candid conversation about the origin of Sons of the Flag, our various programs, upcoming events, as well as, getting to know the team that runs Sons of the Flag behind the scenes. Be sure to check out our previous episodes on Fire Engineering Blog Talk Radio and follow us across social media at @SonsoftheFlag.
If you feel compelled by tonight's story, consider taking the Saint Florian Vow, a fundraiser focused on raising money for firefighters who experience a burn injury. By taking the vow, you commit to help raise $2,500, and if only 1,000 people are successful we can help cover every firefighter in the United States. The donations go into a fund committed strictly to assisting firefighters. If you'd like to join, please visit https://sonsoftheflag.kindful.com/saint-florian-vow today!

Active shooter situations - how should a fire department respond? Do firefighters enter the warm zone or stage in a safe place and wait? What steps are needed to put a fire department in a position to respond to an active shooter incident? Are mass shootings a problem that is limited to "big cities"?
