    FHL Episode 88: EMERGENCY! Reflections from a Fire Chief

    On July 10, 2026, Randolph Mantooth - aka Johnny Gage - passed away. For anyone who grew up or worked in fire and EMS in the 70's, this dramatic television series probably impacted your career in some way, and even if you didn't, it clearly influenced the service as it exists today. In this first of a series of episodes, I got to speak with two fire chiefs - one who was a fire chief in the 70's and one who wanted to be a medical professional, then he saw EMERGENCY!

    FHL Episode 85: "The Legend of the Mauger Pole" with Paul Mauger and Mark Berry

    Paul Mauger started out as a volunteer firefighter and volunteered to be a fire dispatcher, and ultimately became the Fire Chief of Chesterfield Fire and EMS. He overcame some diversity in that journey, but I am glad to have worked for him in a couple of different positions - even when I almost wore an orange helmet. Comments or suggestions?
