3 1/2 years of career experience. A Lieutenant with the City Of Pooler Fire Department in Georgia on Engine 604. Before getting into the fire service Alex was in the 75th Ranger Regiment and a former CIA contractor. From both of these life experiences Alex’s notion when it comes to the topic of leadership simply put was just beautiful. Leaders need to remember that they are here for the women and men under them and not for self glory. There’s no I in team and if you can set aside ego and remember the mission there should be nothing your crew can’t achieve. IG: the_alexaguilar
16 years of career experience. A Technician with Loudon County Fire/Rescue in Virginia on Rescue 20. Creator and operator of the Daily Refinery page on social media. My conversation with Dave was as if we’ve been Bro’s for a longtime that were catching up at a restaurant over drinks. Shooting the shit about the fire service but also having key conversations and not tip toeing over deficiencies that we have both experienced and seen. My favorite quote from Dave is this “ I’ve been on the job for 16 years but into the job for the past 2.” IG: daily_refinery
8 years of volunteer and career experience. Currently a Lieutenant with Bullock County Fire Department in Georgia. Brian is no stranger when it comes to the phrase having to do more with less. When arriving on scene at a working structure fire as a company officer Brian has to give a size-up, establish command, pull a line, conduct a 360, team up with his driver and get after it. There are no excuses with Brian as to why you can’t get anything done with what you have. Brian also experienced a tremendous loss within his family. I want the listeners to really listen and focus to what occurred and ask yourself whether you make the decisions within your organization or not are you able to look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you do everything in your power to be the best Firefighter and version of yourself?

1 1/2 years of volunteer experience. Currently a Firefighter for Balgonie Fire Department in Saskatchewan Canada. Joey caught my eye with his posts he has on social media that shows off his rigorous workouts whether it’s in his gear or not. Although he’s new to the fire service his mindset and ultimate goal of wanting to be a career Firefighter or something related to the fire service shows when you hear him speak. It may sound cliche or cheesy but most Firefighters are in this business to help individuals in need when that emergency arrives and deep down that’s all Joey wants to. IG: foreverjoey1982
10 years of career experience. Currently a Captain on Truck 201 with Loane Peak Fire Department in Utah. Jameson’s mindset when it comes being a Firefighter and a Company Officer is as solid as they come. Remember your why, have an all in attitude, respect the job, care for the people you work with and the community you’re serving to protect. It’s really not a hard formula but you must have it within you to set the example. IG: brothers_of_culture
