Title: 19 Lives Lost in Minutes: How One Tragedy Sparked Satellite Tech That Could Save the Next Generation of First Responders
Summary:
In this powerful episode, Andrew speaks with Rod Goossen, founder and CEO of RoGo, about the 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire that killed 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots due to a lack of real-time situational awareness. That tragedy became the catalyst for RoGo’s satellite-powered DropBlock devices, which provide GPS tracking, tactical communications, and hyper-local fire weather data in environments where cell service and radios fall short. From wildland firefighting to hurricanes, earthquakes, and all-hazards response, RoGo is giving first responders and connected workers the life-saving tools they need to stay safe when infrastructure is wiped out.
