In Episode 8 of The Safety Meeting, things take a turn when a controlled burn almost gets out of hand. What started as a routine burn quickly turned into a situation that could have gone very wrong.
We break down exactly what happened, what we learned, and why controlled burns aren’t as “controlled” as you think.
Plus:
🥃 Rare bourbon talk (Eagle Rare & Buffalo Trace)
🌉 Building a bridge from scratch
🍄 Mushroom hunting in the Ozarks
🔥 And more stories from the field

What is The Safety Meeting?
In the inaugural episode of The Safety Meeting, Charles, Nick, Teddy, and Chris explain the who, what, where and why of the show and immediately go off the rails. They introduce themselves, talk about life in the trades, their adventures, and tell the unbelievable (but true) story of launching a bus and an S-10 truck off a cliff.
Along the way, they talk business, family, crypto tips (bad ones), bull riding, and what a “safety meeting” really means. Oh, and yes, there’s footage of the bus flying off the cliff.
Grab a drink, settle in, and meet the crew before the accident report gets written.
Welcome to The Safety Meeting: the meeting before the accident report.
