🚨 Episode Overview:

This week on The Gate-Keepers Podcast, we sit down with someone who’s literally fighting fires by day and setting posts by night — Mike Moore. 💪🚒🛠️

Mike isn’t just a respected fence builder — he’s also a full-time firefighter, and his journey is one that hits hard and inspires. In this powerful episode, we dig into how he got started in fencing, how he balances two demanding careers, and why so many firefighters are getting into the fence game. We’ll talk work ethic, transferable skills, and what makes first responders such a strong fit for the fencing industry. From brotherhoods in the firehouse to crews in the field, this episode celebrates grit, discipline, and passion on both sides of the line. 💥🧱
