Summary
The mission of Mayday Monday has always been simple: Learn from the past so every firefighter has the best chance of going home after every call. That mission never takes a summer break. Every month provides another opportunity to share lessons learned, reinforce firefighter survival skills, and encourage conversations that can make a difference on the fireground. In this replay of a 2021 episode of Mayday Monday, Tony Carroll and Mike Benedetto reflect on the tragic loss of firefighters Stephen Machcinski and James Dickman, killed while operating at a deliberately set structure fire on January 26, 2014.
