Fire-Dex’s Post

I recently penned an article for the Domestic Preparedness Journal about prepping public safety agencies for large, sports celebration events. It covers basic concepts for those unfamiliar with these or other crowd events. The article is now available in audio format. The link is provided below for those who wish to listen. #crowdoperationsdynamix #crowdcontrol #crowdmanagement https://lnkd.in/ebTfKPQH

"Through the Smoke" has been a monumental project for me, marking our first show greenlit by the city and paving the way for "On the Beat" with Haines City PD. Since launching our YouTube channel in January, the series has garnered nearly 100,000 views, not including the finale. More importantly, we’ve brought the incredible members of the Haines City Fire Department into the homes and hearts of our community, showcasing who they are and what they do. This project was my first major undertaking since leaving the film industry, requiring me to handle everything from setting up shoot dates and planning schedules to managing audio, lighting, and cameras, as well as editing and distribution. At times, it was overwhelming and took away from family time, but it was truly worth it. Now, when a fire truck passes by in Haines City, I hope the community thinks, "I wonder if B-Shift is working?" or "What’s Nate cooking for the crew tonight?" This was a passion project for me, blending my film career with my deep-rooted affinity for public safety, thanks to my family's background in firefighting and law enforcement. It’s been an honor to elevate the department's brand and share their stories with Haines City and beyond. #ThroughTheSmoke #HainesCityFire #PassionProject #PublicSafety #CommunityStories #BehindTheScenes #SeasonFinale #Documentary
