A Near-Miss While Responding – The Brian Collins Story (SAM 286)

  Brian Collins serves as a Battalion Chief with the Brentwood Fire Department in Tennessee.  At the time of his near-miss event, he was serving as the company officer on an engine.  While responding to a call, and while the apparatus was making a left-hand turn at an intersection, the door opened and, if not for wearing his seatbelt, Brian would have been ejected from the vehicle due to the centrifugal force being generated from the apparatus turning left. Brian explains how it happened and shares some valuable situational awareness lessons.    Contact Us www.SAMatters.com   www.RichGasaway.com   612-548-4424 (office)   651-331-8518 (cell)   Brian Collins Brentwood Fire Department [email protected]   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   Premier Sponsor Midwest Fire MidwestFire.com   Feature Segment Sponsor Sims-U-Share Simsushare.com Associate Sponsor Chief Miller Instagram: @Chief_Miller   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.
