Summary: Volunteer Firefighters make up the majority of Firefighters in the United States. Unfortunately not all of these Firefighters or their respective departments conduct themselves in a professional manner. In this episode I share lessons I learned the hard way and those taught to me by great Fire Service mentors over my six year Volunteer Firefighting career. Thank you to every Volunteer that puts in the time on their own dime. Key Time Stamps: * 00:00:10 - "So you want to be a Firefighter?" * 00:04:40 – Find your firehouse fit * 00:13:17 - Exercise for the job * 00:17:40 - Sign up for or create your own duty night * 00:20:10 - Look professional * 00:23:32 - Train every shift * 00:28:45 - Check your gear every shift As always thank you all for listening, learning and sharing with others.
