Make Due: Episode 67 "Buildings Deconstructed" with special guest, Chris Naum

Chris Naum (Syracuse, NY) brings over 5 decades of experience to the show as both firefighter, fire officer, architect, educator, author, and public speaker. Chris joins the show to blow the lid off building construction in the modern fire service. We discuss how the lack of deeper understanding of building construction in the modern fire service has had unintended consequences at both the strategic and tactical levels. We discuss several fire service buzzwords and catch phrases, their origin and the oversimplification that has occurred because of them. The show dives into how construction features and technology have changed with each era and how this information can be used to make educated decisions on the fireground. If you're looking to get the thinking juices flowing and elevate your building construction knowledge, this episode should do the trick!
