Reshaping Fire Safety: The Fire Rover Evolution

IFSJ Managing Editor Duncan J. White recently took the opportunity of a rare window in Ryan Fogelman’s calendar to discuss the background of Fire Rover and how the concept has become a reality within fire protection and suppression in such a short space of time.

Duncan and Ryan look back on their first meeting at FDIC and recall when Ryan was initially accused by firefighters of ‘doing them out of a job’! In Ryan’s inimitable style he was quickly able to allay their initial concerns to the point where Fire Rover is seen as an important safety system to make the role of a firefighter safer at incidents in waste and recycling facilities.
