Ariana travels the country delivering her presentation “Complacency, Safety, and the Tough Guy Mentality” which shares the life and line-of-duty death of Lt. Bryon Johnson while challenging firefighters to take an honest look at complacency, situational awareness, training, health and the cultural pressure to appear invulnerable. Through Bryon’s story, Ariana Davis reminds firefighters that real strength includes speaking up, asking for help, looking out for one another and doing what is necessary to make sure everyone returns home safely. The perspective of firefighter’s widow is not something firefighters hear very often. Detailed accounts of her experience in the immediate and short-term aftermath of Bryon’s death helps to remind us how important line of duty death planning is.
