James Geering (How to Transition to the 24/72 Firefighter Schedule) - Episode 972

Behind The Shield by Behind The Shield Podcast

Episode notes

After eight years interviewing the greatest minds in wellness, I decided to record a live Q&A on how to transition to the 24/72 firefighter shift schedule. In this episode, I discuss the immense physical and mental health costs caused by sleep deprivation, the false economy of breaking our first responders, the cost savings of a shorter work week, how to solve the current recruitment crisis and so much more.
