The Jason Corthell Story – The Next Chapter – Part 1 (SAM 347)

Back on Episode 55, then Cypress Creek Lieutenant Jason Corthell shared his close call survival story where he was operating on the second floor of an exterior stairwell at an apartment building fire.   The stairwell, not involved in fire at all, unexpectedly collapsed, trapping Lieutenant Corthell and District Chief Sanchez under tons of steel and concrete. A mayday was called and a rapid intervention crew was able to remove the debris and successful rescue the two firefighters.   This episode chronicles Jason’s physical and mental road to recovery and he discusses his efforts to help other firefighters who may be experiencing trauma, on and off the job.     Contact us   www.SAMatters.com   www.RichGasaway.com   612-548-4424 (office)   Let’s Get connected   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   Premier Sponsor Midwest Fire MidwestFire.com Associate Sponsor Chief Miller Instagram: @Chief_Miller   Situational Awareness & Thermal Imaging Program on November 24 with Insight Training https://www.eventbrite.com/e/thermal-imaging-situational-awareness-improving-decision-making-tickets-126653755793?aff=ebdssbonlinesearch&fbclid=IwAR1QQ-LyT5qR2J2OyomeQ1VPcp2G7R8As1GPcpKYiB-IGyuQaTLqxnKtU4Y Firefighter Near Miss Reporting System http://www.firefighternearmiss.com/   The SAMatters Show is the longest running, fastest growing, safety focused weekly program on the Internet.
