  • Totally inspiring.

    Thank you guys for your dedication to improving and inspiring Fire investigators. I listen to you guys on my way to work and fill in gaps with other episodes. Great meeting you guys at the IAAI conference in Leavenworth, Washington. They said they don't meet your heroes, but I couldn't resist and I'm not disappointed. Please keep it up.

  • So Great!

    I look forward to the biweekly episodes, each of which leaves me wanting to dive deeper into fire investigation training. Because WTF.

    I loved the initial SAW podcast and when I saw the agenda for the southern OR IAAI and learned that there was going to be a SAW exercise I was bummed that I was unable to attend. Loved this episode as well.

    Hopefully the SAW group will expand its reach and I will be able to attend something like this.

    Keep up the GREAT WORK!
