Firefighter After Action Review​ Podcast

The Firefighter After Action Review Podcast series is another of the NFFF’s initiatives dedicated to ensuring no firefighter who dies in the line of duty is forgotten.

The series selects a line-of-duty death from the past, and visits with the fire department to find out what occurred during the event; who the firefighters were as people; and what the fire department has done to prevent a future occurrence and/or how they honor and remember their fallen.
