His 24 years in the fire service was preceded by working in EMS as an EMT and then a paramedic for a total of 5 years. He was initially hired by Hingham FD in 1998 and then eventually hired by Cambridge in 2004 and assigned to the new Squad company. He was transferred to Rescue 1 in 2010 where he stayed until he was promoted in 2020. He made his way back to The Rescue as the Lt of group 2 in 2022. Listen in as Lt. Morrison goes through his career which includes many interesting opportunities and "firsts" within his departments. Paul is also an instructor for the Mass Fire Academy in technical rescue and recruit, he is a tech rescue instructor for UASI (urban area security initiative), as well as an instructor for the Barnstable county fire and rescue training academy where he developed doctrine for their forcible entry program. Paul shares with us how he got on this path of training and instructing through his career.
We also talk through the roles and responsibilities od being assigned to a heavy rescue. The day to day work, and the mindset that goes with operating that company.
Finally, we give a shoutout to Allentown, Pa for their trench rescue. The rescue happened back in January of this year. You can watch the shout out specifically that we aired last month here: https://youtu.be/mr6IiwMGN34
Paul walks us through the technical aspects of performing a trench rescue and is insightful as to just how skilled the rescuers in Allentown were.
