In this episode of the Prepared by Fire podcast I engage with Carlos, a seasoned firefighter, discussing the importance of authenticity, community, and mental health in the fire service. We explore the challenges of navigating criticism, the significance of mentorship, and the need for continuous learning and personal growth. Carlos shares his insights on leadership, the power of humility, and the importance of setting long-term goals. The conversation emphasizes the duty to help others and the necessity of self-care in a demanding profession.

He began his career in 2001 as a U.S. Air Force firefighter after 9/11, later deploying to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Carlos has served at military installations across the Middle East, Europe, and the Southern Caribbean, and has been educating Emergency Medicine and Paramedic students since 2014.
