Best of B Shifter: The Initial Radio Report
This fan-favorite episode—one of the most downloaded in B Shifter history—dives into what Chief Alan Brunacini called “probably one of the most important communications we transmit throughout an entire incident”: the Initial Radio Report (IRR).
Nick Brunacini and Josh Blum break down why the IRR sets the tone for safety, coordination, and success on the fireground. Using real-world audio, they explore excellent examples from Colerain Township, Ohio, including strong dispatcher interaction, as well as a full IRR, follow-up, and command transfer from the Las Vegas Fire Department.
The episode wraps up with a timeless lesson, as the crew pulls a card from Bruno’s Timeless Tactical Truths deck and unpacks how it applies to today’s incident commanders.
If you want to sharpen your command skills with practical takeaways from the street, this “Best of B Shifter” episode delivers.
