Fireground Strategies: Remembering 9/11 and Recognizing Dominoes on the Fireground

In this episode of Fireground Strategies, hosts Anthony Avillo and Jim Duffy mark the 24th anniversary of 9/11 by honoring the heroes and victims—firefighters, police, and everyday citizens—who stood strong during one of the darkest days in U.S. history. They explore the ongoing physical and emotional toll on responders and emphasize the importance of keeping the memory of September 11, 2001, alive for new generations. The hosts pivot to discuss “domino recognition” in fireground safety: how small, overlooked factors can cascade into serious incidents. They also cover innovative safety programs like prefire street intelligence and line-of-duty death reviews.
