  • Justin - A True Firefighter's Friend

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode I get to sit down and talk with my good friend, bad ass car mechanic, Justin Wilfred. 
    Justin is the friend, in a group of friends, that everyone can rely on. His outlook on life, and how he treats those that are close to him makes us realize that good people really do exist in this world. Justin has a very interesting background on how he got involved with the Fire Life from an early age to now. I'm telling you if he doesn't like you or you him, well... you're probably the problem.
    WhatMakesUsFire Family Please Give A Warm Welcome To Justin.

    In this episode of the podcast we introduce you to Krista! She is the tenacious, bubbly, kind, fun loving daughter any Fireman would love to have. Krista and I dive into what it was like for her growing up a Fireman's daughter, and how it shaped her. She shares with us what it was like being young and seeing your father go through a troublesome time during his career. Krista shows us that even when we think we can have it together around our kids, they know us. And they know us because they have the unconditional love only a child could have for their father. 
    WhatMakesUsFire Family, please give a warm welcome to Krista!!!

    In this episode of the podcast we sit and talk with the very funny Mr. Jason Patton. Jason is the creator of the hilarious videos made for Fire Department Chronicles. He takes us on his journey from being just a firefighter, to becoming a source of laughter and release for his fellow Firefighters and Medics. We touch on his inspiration for why he started doing what he does, and the process he takes to make it happen. Jason is an advocate for PTSD awareness within the civil service community, and how he helps is beyond impressive. What Makes Us Fire Family, please welcome, and enjoy The Great Jason Patton.

  • Sarah - The Tattooed, Fearless, Fire Wife

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode we have an amazing conversation with Sarah, a fire wife with the know how and resilience to love the life we are in. Sarah's journey within the Fire life with her husband Kurt is one that started young. Her story of overcoming distance, fear for his life, and some not so good statistics on being with a Firefighter, I think will help someone just starting a relationship with a Firefighter. 
    WhatMakesUsFire Family, please enjoy Mrs. Sarah W.
