Host Tom Merrill explores issues and challenges faced by the volunteer firefighter today. Being a professional firefighter has nothing to do with earning a paycheck but has everything to do with attitude, appearance, commitment and dedication.
In this show, Tom reviews FDIC International 2019 and the recent VCOS conference he attended. He will pass on some of the great lessons he picked up from classes he attended while at the conferences. In addition, he will also talk very candidly about the keynote address delivered at VCOS by Ali Rothrock, a passionate and driven firefighter who endured bullying, hazing, and even assault inside her firehouses but has endured and become a speaker, educator, author, and advocate for mental health awareness in our fire service. She has also turned this very disturbing experience into a positive action by working to help fire departments identify and change toxic cultures within their organization.

(This is the first of a 3 part series.) Tonight, our guest was the focus of our most recent Guns for Sons Raffle, Lewisville Firefighter Andy Allison. Andy was medically retired from the Lewisville Fire Department after being injured in a house fire on August 12, 2012. During the initial phase of firefighting operations, Andy directed a hose stream at a large body of fire in the laundry room and attic area above it. During this operation, the hose stream contacted live 220v electrical service. Andy was electrocuted for several seconds before falling to his knees and eventually breaking contact with the line. After several years of doctor visits, numerous surgeries, and hitting major road blocks in his recovery process, Andy was told at 31 years old that he was no going to be returning to his job; the career he once loved and called his "dream job". Joining Andy on tonight's episode will be Andy's wife, Amanda, and Lewisville Assistant Fire Chief, Terry McGrath.
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!
