Kyle Collins, retired Deputy Fire Chief, in Episode 230 of the Transition Drill Podcast, explores identity loss after service for firefighters, veterans, and first responders navigating retirement and life after the uniform. You'll hear Kyle Collins on what happens when decades of trauma, leadership, and purpose collide with silence, and what it takes to admit you need help before you lose the people you love.Kyle Collins spent his life inside the fire service. He grew up around the outdoors, learned hard technical skills early, and chased a path that eventually led him to become a paramedic, a firefighter, a company officer, a battalion chief, and finally a deputy fire chief. He didn't just work calls, he carried them. Years on the paramedic squad meant nonstop exposure to emergencies across wide areas. Child calls hit him the hardest, especially when they mirrored the ages of his own kids. He learned to compartmentalize because that was how the culture worked. You showed up, did the job, and moved on.By the time Kyle retired in December 2019, he had given more than three decades to the job. He thought he was ready. Then COVID hit. Travel plans disappeared. His daughter's family moved into his house longer than expected. The routines that usually keep retirees grounded weren't there. The phone stopped ringing. The role that had defined him for decades vanished, and he didn't know how much of his identity had been tied to it until it was gone.What followed wasn't what he expected. He wasn't having nightmares or flashbacks. He was losing patience. Losing gratitude. Losing the ability to feel joy. He felt ashamed because, on paper, his life looked good. A pension. A long marriage. A family. Inside, he was coming apart. He kept calling friends at the department just to feel connected, then realized he had to let go because it was keeping him stuck.The breaking point came when his anger spilled into his home and scared the people he loved. That night forced him to admit something he'd avoided for years. He wasn't okay. Kyle reached out for help and was connected with a therapist who specialized in first responders. Through EMDR and months of work, he started unpacking decades of calls he never dealt with, including many he didn't realize were still active inside him.This conversation isn't about weakness. It's about what happens when strong people don't get ahead of what they carry. Kyle shares what the job took, what retirement exposed, and what it actually looks like to rebuild when the uniform comes off.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service. Helping you plan and implement strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life.

Chief Scott Haberle serves as the Fire Chief for the City of Huntington Beach and has a strong track record of effective citywide collaboration resulting in enhanced emergency service delivery and leadership development. His 32-year fire service career has given him a wide variety of experience.Today, Chief Haberle discusses his take on leadership throughout EMS, Fire, and how it all fits into lifeguarding. Frankly speaking this conversation can benefit anyone, in any rank, of any field, as Chief Haberle expands the subject of leadership which can be applied throughout all service based professions.What I find to be unique about Chief Haberle is that he has worked his way through the ranks as Firefighter, Fire Inspector/Fire Investigator, Paramedic, Fire Captain, Fire Battalion Chief/Fire Marshal and Deputy Fire Chief for the city of Monterey Park. He even put his time in as a pool lifeguard. Now he is ultimately responsible for the Huntington Beach Marine Safety Division as an integral part of the Fire Department.

Too often there's inherent bias at play when we think about who makes a good firefighter — strong, athletic… manly. “I think that we forget sometimes that the people we are serving like to see a familiar face when they're having their worst day,” says Kathleen Vredenburgh, who wants people to know that firefighting requires a lot more than just physical strength. She was named deputy chief of Denver Fire last month, making her the highest ranking woman in the fire department's 156-year history. Today on the show, Host Bree Davies talks with Vredenburgh about her experience as a firefighter and her work getting other women to join the department. In today's newsletter, City Cast Denver's Peyton Garcia breaks down the $14 million settlement protesters won in an excessive force case against DPD.
