This week’s episode is a short one, with Nick Hilton on the mic talking about how we are hurting the fire service through certain social media behaviors. There are many ways to use social media to inspire and positively impact the fire service and brotherhood. It seems though that going the other direction is becoming a popular thing.

This week we got the entire team back together. We did some catching up, went off topic a little bit, but focuses mostly on a discussion that is much needed in the fire service. How we set the tone on the radio, on the fire scene and at the fire station will influence the composure of the entire group. Listen as we discuss certain situations we have each been in and how we were able to control our emotions and remain calm and in control of ourselves.

This week Nick Hilton and Nick Hamel sit down with FF Rick “Father Time” Chute again and discuss the importance of keeping training exciting. We must always be coming up with new, engaging training topics and evolutions to prevent things from becoming stale. If we have boring training we risk losing members. We want to encourage our members to train in order for them to perform the best that they can on the fire scene.

We all go through transitions in life, at home, at work and at the fire department. We must all learn to adapt to these transitions, these changes, and overcome. This episode spells out five different transitions we are going through right now at one of our fire departments that many of you have gone through, are going through or may go through at some point.

Also a couple of shout outs:
