The Front Seat Welcomes co-host Bill Carey

Exciting news for the next edition of “The Front Seat”, on this month’s show we introduce a new co-host for The Front Seat.  Tune in on September 8^th and listen as Backstep Firefighter’s own Bill Carey joins The Front Seat’s Dave LeBlanc.

Bill Carey is the online public safety news and blog manager with GoForwardMedia.com, or more specifically FireRescueMagazine/FirefighterNation.com, JEMS.com, LawOfficer.com and FireEMSBlogs.com (just a few, or at least what I can mention right now).

Dave and Bill will discuss a variety of topics on Thursday’s show.  Certainly the most poignant topic will be the upcoming anniversary of September 11^th, 2001.  No single event has affected our Country more than the terrorist attacks and murders of that day.  But for the Fire Service this event had even more impact because of the number of brothers lost, and the fact that Firefighters were now on the front line of the terrorist battle.  Along with anniversary there the issue of the recent findings regarding working “the pile” and cancer will also be a topic of discussion.

From there the two will move into discussion about the generational differences of firefighters, and how these differences are changing the Fire Service and whether those changes are for the good or not.

Finally Bill and Dave will discuss where the show is headed and future topics.  As always listeners calling in are a big part of the show and with this change The Front Seat hopes to become more like a combination of a Radio Talk show/Kitchen table conversation.
