Brian Collins serves as a Battalion Chief with the Brentwood Fire Department in Tennessee.  At the time of his near-miss event, he was serving as the company officer on an engine.  While responding to a call, and while the apparatus was making a left-hand turn at an intersection, the door opened and, if not for wearing his seatbelt, Brian would have been ejected from the vehicle due to the centrifugal force being generated from the apparatus turning left. Brian explains how it happened and shares some valuable situational awareness lessons.
