I could listen to his stories all day. He’s so right when he was talking about the fire chemistry. If we had a doubtful and we could get a good shot at it we hit it with the deck gun with the 2nd due engine. We called it dumping the monitor. Thanks for sharing Chief
Love this chief. "Have an open mind". Spraying water in to the smoke to cool en to inert the smoke an flammable gasses wthin. This USA and euro tactics coming together. This is golden. FDNY manpower , with "ladder 3" tasks descriptions + euro and NIST = succes.
Chief Tracy thank you for being the definition of "LEADING BY EXAMPLE"! fellow rider myself Red Knights NY43. See you at the next event! lou, kev and probie pete always the best! stay low and go!
FDNY firefighters blow my mind with how senior Salty's can recall so much and remeber the plethora of engine, truck, rescue, etc. companies, to include locations and situations! I love listening to thier stories, experiences, and how they handled complexities of the situstions faced!
Ok. Like this already. Sitting at the table with my brotherhood. I made moose tonight. A chilli , stew & a pot roast ! Dig in. All hot in the kitchen !! God bless you all 👨🏻🚒🇺🇸
We must be able to realize that some things will never change when it comes to fire....that's application of water prior or ready to apply before opening up!
It is sad to see these old timer extrememly experienced, knowledgable, educated, and full of wisdom fire chief (leaders)! I love the philosphy of allowing lower company officers the freedom and liberty to make their own decisions! I think we often restrict the liberty for others to grow and expand by constantly taking over (assuming) command!
So true. This is a TRUE Chief. He is a wealth of wisdom and knowledge. He is a perfect example of how a Chief can help his company officers to grow as leaders and be able to make command decisions on their own. There is often a change of command as the incident grows and then is under control. He believes in his people and knows how to help them to rise to the occasion one be their best. He is not a micro manager and the company are not afraid to step up. He is a Chief’s Chief, and they are few!

IT WAS A MOUTH PIECE THAT COULD ATTACH TO A SCOTT MASK INSTEAD OF HAVING A FULL FACE MASK ON IT WAS JUST A MOUTH PIECE LIKE THE BOTTOM OF A SCUBA SNORKEL .It was easy to just put in your mouth and breathe only through mouth .alot of guys used them to get in to fire faster you could actually see better . The Chiefs hated us using them. excuse my typing
Never saw this episode. Learned of him recently during the episode on squads.
The details that Chief Tracy gives with his stories is incredible! I can’t get enough. I could listen to him for days.

I've read Andy Fredericks's articles multiple times, so much great information every time you read them. A great resource for firefighters.
Wish I could’ve caught this one live. Great show as always folks.
Awesome as usual. Missed the live chat but better late than never.

What happened to "awaaaaay we go"?

Being a retired firefighter (captain) I hate to ask this probably very stupid question; what are cheaters?
