May 1, 2026S11, E126 A Code Red at the Fire Academy with FDNY Paramedics Veronica Cruz and Nyla Page, and Lieutenants Stephen McGowan and Kevin Travis (Retired)
On a warm summer’s day a new class of fire lieutenants was attending the FDNY’s First Line Supervisors Training program or FLSTP at the Fire Academy on Randall’s Island. Members were in the midst of a live burn drill, rotating through the riding positions, when Lieutenant Kevin Travis began to feel progressively unwell. He removed himself from the building and collapsed outside. Immediately a CODE RED was transmitted, which let everyone on scene know that this emergency transmission wasn’t part of the drill. In this episode, host Captain Randy Li, discusses how seconds count when someone is in cardiac arrest, and how lifesaving treatment was administered to Lieutenant Travis immediately by those on scene with guests Lieutenants Kevin Travis (retired) and Stephen McGowan, and Paramedics Nyla Page and Veronica Cruz.
