Chris Ferrara & Specialized Resources For A Modern Fireground

We sit down with Chris Ferrara of U.S. Fire Pump and get a clear look at what industrial firefighting really takes when a facility fire outgrows municipal capability. We walk through big water, foam strategy, logistics, and the mindset shift that keeps incident commanders from committing to a plan they cannot sustain.
• what U.S. Fire Pump does and why high capacity pumping changes outcomes
• real world incidents from tank fires to ship fires, landfills, and lithium battery recycling facilities
• deciding when to call an industrial firefighting company and why early engagement matters
• water supply realities for warehouses and why alternative sources beat small streams
• unified command expectations, access needs, and how we set contractors up for success
• foam evolution from AFFF to SFFF and what that changes in tactics and safety
• training and education that helps municipal and industrial teams speak the same language
• apparatus manufacturing, reliability choices, and what “old school” looks like on purpose
