Summary
Scott Hewlett sits down with Brent Brooks, of Toronto Fire Services, to dissect the critical gap between controlled training environments and real-world fireground operations on this episode of Multiple Calls. Brooks challenges "perfect reps," arguing that controlled training serves merely as a situational reference point rather than a script for reality. They discuss mental health red flags, the importance of succession planning, and how firefighters can successfully navigate a long, healthy career.
