A life changing apparatus accident. The Richard Marcus Story (SAM 235)

On this episode, I interview Firefighter Richard Marcus of the New Hartford Volunteer Fire Department in Connecticut. On May 5, 2006, Firefighter Marcus was in the officer’s seat of New Hartford Engine 1 responding to a report of a fire on the roadside. While in route, they were cancelled and a discussion in the cab caused the driver to become momentarily distracted. For the brief moment that he had his eyes off the roadway, the engine drifted of the right side of the road. While the driver attempted to correct and recover, the engine veered out of control and struck a tree on the officer’s side of the engine. Listen as Richard tells his close call survivor story.   Show Notes   Contact Us www.SAMatters.com www.RichGasaway.com 612-548-4424 (office) 651-331-8518 (cell)   Get connected with SAMatters   Facebook: Follow SAMatters   LinkedIn: Follow Rich Gasaway   Twitter: Follow Rich Gasaway   Instagram: Follow SA_Matters Youtube: Subscribe to SAMattersTV   Itunes: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Stitcher Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Google Play: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   iHeart Radio: Subscribe to SAMatters Radio   Our Sponsors Midwest Fire MidwestFire.com   Chief Miller Instagram: @Chief_Miller   Intro music Safety Dance (1982) Men Without Hats GMC - Virgin Records Licensed by BMI Music   Firefighter Near Miss Reporting System http://www.firefighternearmiss.com/   SPONSOR THIS SHOW   The SAMatters Show is the longest running, fastest growing, safety focused weekly program on the Internet.
