Episode 33: Dedicated to the fallen - First Anniversary Edition and First History Lesson

Published on: 7th January, 2022

Henry, Weet, John and I get together again for what we are calling the First Anniversary Episode. It is dedicated to our first guest and one of the inspirations carrying us forward - R.C. "Tiny" Dawson.

We also dive into some history - January 7, 1950 in Davenport, Iowa, a hospital fire claimed the lives of 40 patients and one staff member. We discuss some of the conditions and after effects of this deadly incident that impacted responders for more than 50 years after the event.
