  • If you are into the job this is for you

    One of the best podcasts around for into-the-job firemen.

    Bringing in some of the best guests in the industry. All are the real deal and down-to-earth people sharing their experiences and solutions for bettering the fire service.

    If you want to hear about culture, leadership, and passion then this is the show for you. If you don't then you are probably a recliner pilot and somehow opened this accidentally.

    This will become a major fire service podcast shortly.
