    #112 - Car Chronicles - When to Break the Rules

    Join me for Car Chronicles.   Is there ever a good time to break the rules? No, I'm not talking about going rogue, but going against the basic rules of the fire service & fire suppression. I think there is. Let's dig in. **Don't take any episode - ESPECIALLY THIS ONE - out of context. What's best for your department needs to be discussed between you, your officers, and your department.** Are you like me - where when you take long drives to conferences or other destinations, your brain just... runs?  You find yourself on a topic, can't stop thinking about it, get completely fired up, and want to talk to someone right then?  Yeah - it happens to me a lot.  So, I introduce you to Car Chronicles.  The audio isn't the best, but the content is straight from my heart.  No notes - just solid stream of consciousness and a look into how my brain works & processes topics. ________________________________________________ As always, I don’t claim to be an expert, I just love to talk fire and I’m not afraid to get into real & deep discussions.  Everything I say is my own opinion and does not reflect the opinions of any agency or organization I am associated with. Have a topic or question you want me to cover?  Know someone who would like to be a guest on the podcast?

    #111 - Tech Rescue & Dinosaurs - with Bill Grossnicklaus

    Alas, one more interview that was recorded last year but never ended up getting published. Well, it's about time. Bill Grossnicklaus feels like an old friend, though we've only known each other for a couple of years. If you're looking for a hands-on, into the job, tech rescue loving Nebraska fire chief - you've come to the right place. Starting at basic ropes, going into grain bins, swift water, diving, and more - you're in for a ton of information this week. We end the episode with a great segment of Family Firefighter Survival - going over so much, including how balancing our time away from family may have an impact on our kid's views on the fire service.
