Over the last couple of years, first responders have been faced with many extreme situations,
circumstances, and disasters, as well as a lengthy pandemic.
These circumstances have led to burnout,
compassion fatigue, chronic stress, and strained relationsh
ips. So, where do we go from here? How do
we take a breath, stabilize ourselves, and then continue to do the work?
In this presentation we will

    Brooklyn, NY

At approximately 11:15 AM on January 9, 2022, a 19–story apartment building on East 181st Street in
the
Fordham Heights neighborhood of the Bronx was burning. Firefighters battled smoke so dark and
dense that it seemed as if it could be scooped up by hand
while a sickly smell hung in the air, a mix of
charred wood, plastic
, and chemicals. By day’s end, 17 residents — eight of them children — would be
dead, with dozens more injured.
This program will discuss the challenges presented by fires that occur in
large residential structures
, and how lessons learned from actual fire incidents can promote progressive
means t
hat address these challenges to prevent future tragedies of this nature.
