Andy and I talk about training new people, the importance of wellness and having relationships with your neighboring fire departments.

Your invisible suitcase, thinking about the next guy or gal, being thankful for the opportunity to serve, WECARE, and the calling.

You won't regret listening to Gurnee FD's Jimmy Pellitteri. "Firefighters just make things right."

You know him from "Calming the Chaos" and trainfirefighters.com. Chief Kastros has some great stories and wisdom to share not only about the "recliner snipers" but incident command.

Chief Viscuso shares his experiences in leadership from coaching, life and the fire service. We chat about minimum standards, putting in the work to earn your spot and when to change the channel.

Sammy Vega of Cal City Fire talks with me about being who you'd want to lead you, owning your mistakes, being a gentleman, leading by example and the military's influence over the fire service. You have gotta hear Sammy's take on 360-180-90.

I sit down with Retired Deputy Chief and the current Executive Director of RED Center and catch up on some great topics including how he dispatched his own first fire, the value of a great relationship with dispatchers, leadership, tradition and brotherhood.

Nick and I have been friends for almost 20 years, and we both found our way to the greatest job in the world. Together we discuss the importance of community involvement, local politics, practical training and personal health.

Lucky number 13! Corley Moore from Firehouse Vigilance and have a great show! We discuss networking, reading, your circle of influence and loving the job.

Cheif Cokefair joins me to talk about family and fire, the dynamics of part time/volunteer fire departments and the importance of having an outside agency perform hose testing.

Chief Gruba shares his experience and wisdom on training and the importance of togetherness.
