Episode 51: "What is the shortest school on this base?" With Chief Jim Nilo

Specialization in the fire service isn't anything new, but Crash Fire Rescue, or Aircraft Rescue Firefighting is a specialty all in its own. In this episode, I spoke with Jim Nilo who was instrumental in developing and improving AFFF training in Virginia, all because he washed out of one Marine Corps training program and wanted "the shortest school" on that base. Jim ultimately became the fire chief at the Richmond International Airport and continues to train airport firefighters all over the world.
