Stratgeic Shifts

This episode features Josh Blum, Chris Stewart, and John Vance.

We break down two fireground audios from Springdale, OH and Cobb County, GA where command changes strategy before the buildings force the issue. Clear size-ups, clean handoffs, and disciplined use of divisions and on-deck show how standardized command-and-dispatch integration protects crews and closes incidents faster.

• Springdale strip mall fire and regional standardization
• Early 360, TLO assignments, and exposure checks
• Roof report triggers proactive defensive switch
• Dispatch integration with alert tones and tickets
• Cobb County garage fire with extension and collapse
• On-deck, water supply, and search coordination
• Strategic shift timing based on structural integrity
• After Action Reviews for shared learning across agencies
