16 years of volunteer and career experience. An Engineer with a Metro Charleston Department who currently rides an Engine. There’s nothing complex about Pat. He’s a simple guy who loves going to fires, attending outside training conferences when possible, being around like minded individuals who take the job seriously and at the end of the day wants to go home to the one’s he loves and cares for most.

8 years of career experience. A Master FF/Medic on Engine 10 with Virginia Beach fire department recently transferred to the training division. Matthew has a strong and I mean strong passion when it comes to Engine work, water mapping and the science of water application. Even though he only has 8 years on when you hear Matthew talk you’d think he’s been on the job longer than that. The discussions we have in this episode were simply amazing and truly hope the listeners gain a little bit of gems from it. IG: mrwuwu_
18 years of volunteer and career experience. A Captain on Ladder 301 for Summerville Fire/Rescue in South Carolina. Kevin shares an experience he had during his younger years when he thought as he describes “Being invincible” finally caught up to him. Fast forward years later as a company officer he gets a phone call that forever changed his life. Mental health is a very important topic for Kevin that he doesn’t take for granted and wants others to know the days of leaving your feelings at the door before coming into work should be past tense.

6 years of career and volunteer experience. A Lieutenant with Garden City Fire/Rescue in Georgia assigned to Engine 201. Mike comes from an array of government work that ultimately led him to finding his path into the fire service. What’s truly remarkable about Mike is his sense of humility that although he is a company officer he doesn’t put himself above the rest of the individuals he works with. Yes he’s an Officer but still a Firefighter at heart that’s still learning and just wants to be “Out in the streets” doing Engine work. IG: mg_mm77
