National Fire Radio "From Framerails to Finish" - Morristown Fire Department - Ladder 1

Описание: National Fire Radio x Morristown Fire Department

Jeremy Donch of National Fire Radio sits down with Captain Thomas DeGroot, Firefighter Joey Sanfelice, and Chief Robert Flanagan of the Morristown Fire Department for a deep dive into the town’s expansion, infrastructure growth, and how those developments influenced their decision to go with a 107’ Tiller (TDA).

They explore the versatility and storage capacity of the TDA, the critical importance of driver/operator training, and the need to adapt tactics when operating with minimal staffing.

Beyond apparatus and strategy, the conversation focuses on the bigger picture of the fire service today—working closely with other public safety organizations, evolving with the needs of the community, and recognizing that being a firefighter is about much more than just putting out fires.

Firefighter Sanfelice highlights the rich culture and history of Morristown FD, sharing stories passed down from veterans who served decades ago. The crew reflects on the love for the job, the family bond among firefighters, and the passion that keeps them going.

“Never forget how good the job is."
— A powerful reminder of the pride, purpose, and people that make the fire service what it is.
