Kevin Shea is on The Weekly Scrap!

I’ve been trying for a LONG time to land this white whale, and he has finally agreed to come on the Scrap! If you’re familiar with Kevin Shea, you already know why I’ve been chasing this one for so long

Retired FDNY Lieutenant with more than 40 years in the fire service as both a volunteer and professional firefighter. Kevin's career includes time with Rescue Company 1 in Manhattan and involvement in one of the most incredible roof-rope rescues in FDNY history.

Two years later, Kevin was operating with Rescue 1 at the 1993 World Trade Center bombing when he fell more than 40 feet into the blast crater while searching for a reported victim and was critically injured.

He has spent decades sharing his experience with the fire service, teaching firefighting and technical rescue to state, county, and municipal agencies, as well as the military and private industry. He continues to share his knowledge through Glacier Rescue Solutions, his involvement with FDIC, and as a contributing author for Fire Engineering.

I’ve waited a long time for this conversation, and I appreciate all the questions the live audiance brings to the show every single week.

Episode 376 goes LIVE Tuesday, October 6th with Kevin Shea and is made possible by our incredible sponsors:
