Happy New Year! Molly brings in guest co-host Jesse Phan from the Chagrin Fall Fire Department to help interview Fire Chief Frank Zugan. Why should you get the CFFD Calendar ASAP? What’s a 24-hour shift like? What are these guys like when they’re not working? What does the department do for the community’s young people? All this, plus a brief cameo from Nelly and her little one in this hot episode of BPE. Support the Chagrin Fall Fire Department and buy the 18th month calendar for yourself and your friends at Shed, Peter's, Chagrin Yoga, Fireside or CF Township Hall, or online at cffdfundraiser.org.
