In this episode, we sit down with Attorney Lance LoRusso to discuss the dangers of something almost all firefighters engage in: social media. And you can’t talk about social media without talking about the legal ramifications of firefighters taking pictures and video on scene. Even if you don’t post the pictures, you might be surprised where those pictures can get you.

We also tackle the very prickly topic of the limits of free speech, and answer the question, “When are you speaking for yourself and when are you speaking as a representative of the department?” And that’s something all of us should know, because it’s something that can get all of us in trouble.
