Hey there, guys! Welcome to Episode 15 of the Priority Traffic Podcast.

This week, Chris and Ben dig into FIRE FIGHTER STRESS. What it is, how it affects us, and what we can do.

We discuss the difference between stress response and good stress and how they are essential to our fight-or-flight response.

If you've ever wondered about the long-term effects of being exposed to high levels of stress on the job—or if you want to know what your partner does when he comes home from work smelling like smoke—this episode is for you!
