Welcome to Durable Good. Today I am revisiting an earlier post, something I published on Durable Good in July of 2025. It's titled Rescue 10, and it’s about my experience as a volunteer firefighter and being new to volunteer firefighting in our small town - and my observations about the relationships and the things that volunteer firefighters do for their communities. Many of you asked that I turn this essay into an audio publication, so I’m getting around to doing that here. Thank you for those requests and for the encouragement. It means a great deal. So here you go. An audio version of Rescue 10, originally published on Durable Good on July 3, 2025. I hope you enjoy.
