    S6 E8: FDIC PT3 Chuck Gunter, John Beebee, and Pete Michelak

    Send us Fan Mail "Welcome back to Three Point Firefighter from Day 2 at FDIC 2026, live at the Fire Facilities booth! Host Jake Barnes sits down with training leaders and friends to talk building a strong training culture from the top down. First up, Chuck Gunner — Decatur Training Supervisor and Highlander Fire’s go-to rope and training guru — shares why a great training facility is only as good as the culture behind it, the power of leading by example, and staying motivated even when you’re a “bag of shit” some days. Then Jake catches up with Chief John Beebee from Central Mat-Su Fire & Rescue in Alaska about wildland/structural interface challenges, their incredible training towers, and how forestry automatically responds to structure fires. Finally, Pete Michelak from Northville Township Fire talks about leaving a department for better culture, revolutionizing search & rescue tactics (including tripod position, victim removal, and oriented search), overcoming training pushback, and creating flow state on the fireground. Real talk, hard-earned lessons, and plenty of firefighter wisdom. 🔥 Email me at 3pointFirefighter@Gmail.Com Check out our Facebook Page 3 point Firefighter Podcast https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560769894306 YouTube Channel  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAv_hMC8vxrurhIunXtaJXg 3 PFF Merch https://3-point-firefighter.printify.me/products #JakeBarnes,#3Pointfirefighter

    Send us Fan Mail Today's first two guests are Zach Willard from Fire Facilities and Tony Ambrosia from Scottsdale Fire Department!
