SAM 040 | Interview with Ryan Pennington
In this episode I interview Ryan Pennington who runs the website ChamberOfHoarders.com. Ryan has a passion for helping first responders understand the challenges of fighting fires in hoarded environments. In this episode you\u2019ll learn:
\n1. Why Ryan prefers to call hoarded conditions \u201cHeavy Content\u201d and how that term applies to more than cluttered residential conditions.
\n2. How to use Ryan\u2019s shortcut of: Identify, Confirm, Orient and Control to improve safety while operating at Heavy Content incidents.
\n3. Ryan shares the tactical considerations for operating at Heavy Content Incidents.
\n4. He discusses the challenges of keeping oriented during searches and discusses why it\u2019s never a good idea to climb over the pile.
\n5. Finally, he shares some advice for how to remove victims from the Heavy Contents Environments.
