Behind The Shield
James Geering (How to Transition to the 24/72 Firefighter Schedule) - Episode 972
26 Aug 2024
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.Podcast Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/nn3PX3Qtq3o?si=oTvbOwQVB6gICGOcHere are the podcast episodes of the true subject matter experts that I reference in the podcast:Departments that have made the change:Chief Hugh Bruder - Episode 854Dixon Philips - Episode 879Matthew Harrison/Brian O'Connell - Episode 942Military Sleep Science Experts:Dr Allison Brager (Army) - Episode 117Rachel Markwald (Navy) - Episode - 196Capt.
