  Eric seems to have a pretty strange luck with being first on scene as a PIO. Back in the days he was first on scene of a working residential in his neighborhood

  Very cool to see Eric running around getting hose lines ready and stuff, not very often we get to see that

  This episode is particularly interesting for me in that I have over 20 years of communications experience (a good bit of which working in media relations and public information management), but also serve as official photographer for a small volunteer fire company in Central New York. As a PIO, Eric's job requires much more 'realtime' engagement than in my case, being both proactive and reactive as it relates to the exchange of information be it via social media, in person, or more traditional media. It's also interesting to learn what types of incidents they respond to as a PIO which are not unlike those I respond to as 'Photo1.' I very much appreciate his efforts, not only bringing attention to the fire service, but packaging the information in such a way that it is easily accessible and understood by the general public.

  Each time I watch this I so want to share the importanve of each and every first responder. You are all trained the same for a reason this allows you to be put into any role or capacity where needed. <br>You can see after arrival how Eric went from PIO EnRoute to First Unit or Aparatus on Scene, to giving a size up or 360. Then went to FF Ground Support. Grabbing a 5” line for hydrate access, then asking where the hydrant bag is as he is unfamiliar with the layout of this specific apparatus, to aiding in anyway possible, back to PIO and giving out updates on this trash fire. It just shows why everyone does the exact same training. Great job Eric and SMFR

  Of course the time you decide to turn the camera around on yourself it turns into a First Due vlog, which frankly are the best ones. Another great video Eric! Keep up the good work! Thank you from Georgia.
