Tune in as we talk about his career journey, his transition to retirement, and the call that helped shape his already stellar perspective on training to new highs.

In this episode of The FIRE Podcast, host Severen Henderson sits down with his good friends Quintion Echols and Anthony Walker Jr., both seasoned firefighters from Columbus, Ohio.

Beyond the uniform, the conversation shifts to life outside the firehouse, sharing personal stories and fun anecdotes that show how they balance the intensity of their work with non-fire department adventures.
