In this episode of The Professional Volunteer Fire Department, host Tom Merrell talks with Chief Brandon Fletcher. They discuss what departments can do to create a winning mindset and achieve success on the fireground with the engine they do have, not the one they wish they had. 

Some more about the episode: Building the perfect engine for your department is a challenge that many would love the opportunity to solve! Unfortunately, the opportunity is rarely afforded to the departments that operate in a rural environment. Rising apparatus costs have seen new engines that easily exceed the $500k mark on the low end, and can reach over $1 million on the high end. Even if money was of no concern, the current production times can range from two to three years. Many rural departments operate with 15, 20, or even over-30-year-old engines.
