In this week鈥檚 episode of the Inside EMS Podcast, hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson discuss some of the biggest news stories in EMS from the month.
First up: A fire chief in Colorado is under investigation for running nearly 300 medical calls on an expired paramedic certification from 2019. What happens when leadership sets a bad example for their crews?
The pair also discuss several mental health initiatives, including the University of Washington鈥檚 new first responder training program and the mental health teams supporting evacuees of California鈥檚 wildfires.
Plus, Chris reacts to an idea floated by the new White House administration to reduce FEMA鈥檚 role, and Kelly gives his take on why the agency 鈥� despite its flaws 鈥� is a necessity.

- 鈥娾�淚f you don鈥檛 want to pay for it, then, then don鈥檛 gripe about poor response times ... or inadequate care, because you wouldn鈥檛 pay for it.鈥� 鈥� Kelly Grayson
- 鈥溾�奩ou know, during COVID, we were heroes. 鈥夾nd we squandered that goodwill and let ourselves be pushed onto the back burner until something horrific happens to California. And then firefighting leaps into the breach again. Then, those citizens are incredibly grateful, but when this is all over, they鈥檒l fade back into obscurity again.鈥� 鈥� Kelly Grayson
