This week, we go over our thoughts on Long Call Operations & considerations volunteer departments should take while running these calls.

We'll go over 3 main fires:

  • The "Big Grass Fire" from the last episode (8 hours)

  • The "Converse Fire" structure fire a few years ago in our town (12 hours)

  • The "Co-op Grain Bin Explosion" - a call we had last Halloween (48+ hours).

Considerations we discuss are: food, hydration, sleeping considerations, creating shifts, missing your day job, & using mutual aid.

Everything said on the Couplings Fire Podcast are our opinions and in no way represent the opinions & values of any agency we are associated with.
