On this episode of The K-Factor Podcast, we return to the AFSA facility for another behind-the-scenes tour — this time with Hunter Brendle, President of Brendle Sprinkler, and Gene Taylor, Vice President of Field Operations at Brendle Sprinkler, joined by their kids.

The conversation goes beyond equipment and systems, focusing on why early exposure matters, how hands-on experiences spark curiosity, and the role the fire sprinkler industry can play in shaping the next generation. We talk about fire protection fundamentals, the pride behind skilled trades, and what it means to pass knowledge, values, and opportunity forward.

It’s an honest, encouraging look at the future of the industry — told through the lens of family, mentorship, and real-world learning at the AFSA facility.
