Great interviews on very pertinent firefighting industry topics.
Outstanding podcast with short to the point topics and knowledgeable guest.
And keep up the good fight Scott!!
BTW... why anyone would give less than 5 stars is beyond me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As a rookie volunteer firefighter that has been wanting to broaden my knowledge of the fire service I’ve been in search of various resources to help aide me. While there are many great firefighting podcasts out there this has been the most pertinent and informative I’ve found. Great work and thank you.
