On this episode (Part 2 of 2) I interview with Captain John Lightly. At the time of the recording of this episode John had served as a member of the Youngstown, Ohio Fire Department for 13 years. Youngstown FD has 8 stations and a sworn strength of 135 firefighters. John\u2019s married and has twin daughters. So you can imagine how exciting\u2026 and hectic John\u2019s life is. I really appreciate him sitting down with me and sharing his close call survivor story where he almost died as a result of being caught in a flashover. For reasons that will become obvious during the interview, I title this episode \u201c3 feet from death\u201d and dedicate to all the firefighters who\u2019ve been caught in a flashover and did not live to tell their story.
