Firefighter After Action Review​ Podcast

The Firefighter After Action Review Podcast series is another of the NFFF’s initiatives dedicated to ensuring no firefighter who dies in the line of duty is forgotten.

The series selects a line-of-duty death from the past, and visits with the fire department to find out what occurred during the event; who the firefighters were as people; and what the fire department has done to prevent a future occurrence and/or how they honor and remember their fallen.

This two-part podcast features Fire Chief Brian McDermott of today’s Paterson Fire Department. The interview revealed several interesting points, including Paterson's unique approach to the rehabilitation of vacant and abandoned buildings.

November 14, 2020, started off just like any other day for the Harrisonburg Fire Department in Virginia. At 10:07 am, everything changed. It was what happened to Tower 1 that made this response different.
The podcast is a two-part installment and tells Firefighter Puccia’s story through the recollections of the two groups most affected by his loss: his family and his department. Viewers and listeners will gain insight into Firefighter Puccia as a husband, father, and firefighter—and witness FDNY’s solid determination that we will never forget.
