The Weekly Scrap, Firefighter Podcast

Joined by none other than the legendary Ray McCormack to kick off the new year in style. It was an awesome conversation as he talked about his history in the fire service... then transitioned to the culture of extinguishment, live fire training, the importance of patience and poise.... and that does not even include the questions at him from the audience. He finished off by crushing the first ever "Next" Five questions for firefighters.  Was an awesome show!

Excited to have as my guest on episode 119 non other than Dennis LeGear. The man knows his hydraulics, his hose, his pumps... he basically is a fire attack genius. If you are a water/fire nerd at all you do not want to miss this scrap. I could not even get to half of the audience questions!  Dennis absolutely crushed it.  Enjoy!

The first ever Mega Scrap -- MEGA SCRAP ALPHA: featuring Scott Thompson, Walt Lewis and Mike Walker. The game plan was to deep dive into one topic: Creating a culture of Mentorship in the modern fire service. I have no idea how it was going to go, but it turned out amazing and I am super excited for the future of MEGA SCRAPS!
