We did a series of "next generation" episodes a few years ago and it's a good time to revisit the state of the future of the fire service.

I can't wait to see where they will go next. Comments or suggestions?

The fire service and families are both filled with traditions. Sometimes they are one in the same. Weet Baldwin - a frequent co-host - joins me in this episode with his son Caleb.

Now, after attending the Virginia Military Institute, he's living the dream and has the best of both worlds with Army Aviation and Chesterfield Fire and EMS.

In the early 1980's, Boston became known as the Arson Capital of the World thanks to a group of serial arsonists who set more than 260 fires and were responsible for 200 firefighter injuries. The story of this group of "twisted Robin Hoods" is told in the book, "Burn Boston Burn" written by a member of the Arson Task Force that investigated these crimes and ultimately brought the arson ring to justice. Wayne Miller served 25 years in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms investigating fires, explosions, and firearms crimes and has become an author telling the story of the Boston arsonists and other crimes he has investigated over the years. Enjoy this episode where I talk to Wayne about his career and this epic story of arson, murder plots, and conspiracies. Check out his website at www.BurnBostonBurn.com Comments or suggestions?

This is it! Proof that JP Jones WAS involved in some of the pranks and practical jokes that happened in CFD. JP and I were Recruit School classmates, I worked for him as a firefighter, he worked for me in the Fire Marshals Office, and he was one of the most responsible and dedicated officers I know (no practical jokes on PPE - among other things). We relive some of the classics we were involved in (and victims of) and some of those jokes share by others who have been guests on this podcast for the past 9 months. We laughed until we cried then laughed some more. Enjoy - Comments or suggestions?
