Is anyone at the Smoky Mountain Weekend Fire & Rescue Expo this weekend?

[EJ @BldgFFDev]

This Memorial Day, Building Firefighter Development honors the brave men & women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. As firefighters & first responders, we understand duty, sacrifice, & brotherhood.

Today, we remember those who never came home.

Never forgotten.

As part of IHROC 2026, we are developing a new High-Rise Mayday and Near-Miss Initiative.
We are looking for firefighters, officers, instructors, and departments who are willing to share a short 10-minute recorded presentation about a high-rise Mayday, near miss,

Are you trained in using the TIC for size-up? NFPA 1400/1408 mandate thermal imaging training for size-up. NIOSH notes gaps like incomplete size-up, TIC underuse, data misinterpretation, and misidentifying fire location. Proper size-up reveals heat sources, cold zones, and voids. Stay Intelligently Aggressive! 🔥#FirefighterTraining #TIC #NFPA1400

Thermal Imaging 101:

Check out our FREE education video series in partnership with Seek Thermal

In this episode, we are addressing the issue of "TIC White-Out." Newer thermal imaging cameras don't white out as older models once did. This phenomenon is occurring due to moisture on the lens.

@YaBoyCoots I fell asleep. Woke up and thought it was the late night replay. Quickly realized it was live and couldn't sleep again!

May the 4th be with you!

Firefighters are basically Jedi in turnout gear. We are reading buildings, trusting training, and staying calm when the dark side of construction strikes.

Use the Force of building knowledge, keep learning, and stay on the light side.

Check out our latest article in Firehouse Magazine:

The Myth of White-Out in Fire Service Thermal Imaging Cameras

Andrew Starnes explains that firefighters' presumption that their thermal imaging camera went into a white-out condition because of excessive temperature in the fireground environment is incorrect except when they're using a version of the device that was made prior to the development of colorized displays.

Special thanks to Peter Matthews and the team at Firehouse Magazine for this opportunity!

@joed911 That's scary

[EJ @BldgFFDev]

Generators are a power wildcard. They auto‑start, keep life‑safety circuits hot, and leave spaces like mech rooms and pump rooms energized. A fast size‑up read can change your tactics. Know what stays powered and stay sharp.

I hope the Flyers hold everyone's attention long enough for the Phillies to fix themselves.
