Join us in this smoldering episode as we sit down with Erik Mickelsen, a seasoned Investigator from the Franklin Township Fire Marshals Office and Somerset County Fire Investigation Unit. With nearly two decades of experience, Erik delves into the essential role of the Fire Marshal, offering a unique perspective on fire scenes that differs from that of on-the-ground firefighters.

We tackle the emotional complexities of investigating Line-of-Duty Deaths (LODD) and the critical importance of mental health in this field. Erik shares his coping strategies and discusses the hidden stress of fire code enforcement. From understanding the weight of loss to identifying emotional triggers, this conversation sheds light on the resilience required in fire investigation.
