On this episode I chatted with Dane Lausen about his career as a firefighter, growing up in Guthrie Oklahoma. Dane recently took over as Guthrie Fire Chief after 15 years of service. Excuse the pun but he was definitely thrown in the fire and had to learn the job quickly as well as Guthrie hiring a new City Manager on a similar timeline. Chief talks about his life, his family and how he leads his team. Thank you to all the service men and women who keep us safe on a daily basis.
