Summary
On this episode of Humpday Hangouts, hosts Frank Ricci and P.J. Norwood sit down with filmmaker Tommy Jay Dwyer to examine his documentary Burning Down the House, which examines the severe structural and health hazards inside municipal firehouses. Dwyer covers how his deep family roots in the fire service and the loss of his uncle to job-related pulmonary disease inspired the film, which reveals alarming, unaddressed conditions like crumbling bay floors supported by temporary shoring, exposed asbestos, and severe diesel exhaust exposure.
