    Blue Card Updates Plus Incident Audio From Harrison, Ohio

    We talk through mid-year Blue Card updates, why command training is worth paying for, and how regional leaders keep a shared system alive even when departments change chiefs. We also dig into big box fire realities and then break down working-fire radio audio that shows what clear size-up, assignments, and command transfer sound like.
    • Blue Card as a decision-making and incident organization system rather than a tactics class
    • Common myths about Blue Card and how bad information spreads
    • The real cost of training and why “free” is not a plan
    • Liability exposure tied to weak command training and predictable failure points
    • Sustaining a command program through leadership commitment and ongoing verification
    • ARFF program growth, upcoming train-the-trainer dates, and open seats
    • A regional collaboration model from the Seacoast Chiefs and why standard language matters
    • Big box and mega warehouse fires, sprinkler limits, FDC considerations, and defensive discipline
    • Working-fire audio breakdown: initial radio report, 360, patient handling, CAN reports, and command transfer
    • Timeless tactical truth on forecasting and doing now what saves time later

  • The Silverbacks On Performance Management

    The Silverbacks On Performance Management
    2026/06/11

    Send us Fan Mail

    The Silverbacks are back, talking about performance management as an essential tool for fire service leaders.

    This episode features Nick Brunacini, Terry Garrison, and John Vance.

    We lay out a practical performance improvement model that keeps looping through SOPs, training, field application, monitoring, and revision so the work gets better every time. We also get blunt about what breaks the system: outdated policies, ego-driven resistance to change, weak critiques, and leaders who stop training.
    • circular performance improvement model tied to service delivery
    • why outdated SOPs create operational risk and legal exposure
    • keeping SOPs simple, task-focused, and grounded in real standards
    • making shared SOPs work across automatic aid departments
    • change resistance driven by ownership and ego, and how leadership pushes through
    • what makes an after-action review honest, consistent, and useful
    • critique pitfalls like pet peeves, grandstanding, and excluding firefighters
    • why leaders must keep training and prove competence at strategic levels
    • decision-making truth: no perfect choices, only best upside with least downside

    You can download all your operational SOPs off bluecard.com right now

  • Dan Madrzykowski And Fire Dynamics On The Exterior

    Dan Madrzykowski And Fire Dynamics On The Exterior
    2026/05/28
    Send us Fan MailWe talk with UL FSRI’s Dr. Dan Madrzykowski about how fire dynamics drives outcomes at outside fires, vehicle fires, and “container” incidents just as much as it does in homes. This episode connects real case studies to practical command decisions so crews stop feeding the fire with ventilation and start controlling conditions with effective water application and better size-up.In this episode:• AFG grant window timing and why command training remains a high priority• Fire dynamics basics that still get missed in structures• Why ventilation can increase smoke production and fire growth• Exterior fire spread that re-enters and traps interior crews• Lagrange incident lessons and the need to flow and move• Critical factors for IC1 and IC2 — because the fire gets a vote• EV fire response priorities: life hazard, approach angle, water supply, and exposures• When letting EV batteries burn out may reduce overall risk• Trailer and container fires as ventilation-limited pressure vessel problems• The “two-question pause” before giving orders and avoiding autopilot decision-making• Stored energy hazards including large tire explosion blast radius and positioning• CNG vehicle differences and why preplans matter• Using monitors and stream reach to gain standoff and improve visibility• Warehouse fire ventilation errors when water is not yet effectiveResources Mentioned:Chula Vista Fire Report: Analysis of a Near Miss in a Warehouse Fire – Californiahttps://doi.org/10.60752/102376.30402382Lagrange Fire Report: Four Firefighters Burned in Residential House Fire – Georgiahttps://dx.doi.org/10.54206/102376/GEKK4148Lagrange Incident Videohttps://training.fsri.org/resources/409/residential-fire-near-miss-in-lagrange-ga-incident-videoLaGrange Discussion Toolhttps://training.fsri.org/resources/53/026-near-miss-lagrange-continuing-the-conversationOnline Coursehttps://training.fsri.org/course/105/residential-fire-near-miss-incident-in-lagrange-gaBlue Card Lithium Ion Battery Fire SOG: https://bshifter.com/download/lithium-ion-battery-incident-sample-sog/Order the 3rd Edition of Fire Command here:https://bshifter.myshopify.com/products/new-fire-command-3rd-editionFor Waldorf University Blue Card credit and discounts:https://www.waldorf.edu/blue-card/For free command and leadership support, visit:https://bshifter.comSign up for the B Shifter Buckslip, our free weekly newsletter:https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/fmgs92N/BuckslipShop B Shifter:https://bshifter.myshopify.comAbout Dan:Dr. Daniel Madrzykowski is a Senior Research Engineer with the UL Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI) and one of the leading fire dynamics researchers in the world. His work has helped shape the modern fire service’s understanding of fire behavior, ventilation, wind-driven fires, exterior fire attack, and tactical decision-making on the fireground.Over the past two decades, Dr. Madrzykowski has led and contributed to groundbreaking research focused on firefighter safety, fire spread, and modern building performance under fire conditions. His work has directly influenced operational tactics, training programs, and national conversations surrounding modern fire attack and command operations.Dan has worked extensively with fire departments across the United States, translating complex fire science into practical, street-level applications firefighters and incident commanders can use every day. His research continues to play a major role in improving firefighter safety and customer outcomes in both residential and commercial fire incidents.
