Brandon, lost in Samanthas case gets an unexpected phone call.

24 years of combination experience. Recently promoted Battalion Chief on the A shift with Port Arthur FD in Texas. Joshua was into sports and had no intentions of becoming a Firefighter. But like so many others I've had on here it was a friend of his that introduced him to the fire service. And once he got his foot in the door as the adage goes that's all she wrote and Joshua fell in love with it. Joshua spoke straight truth bombs and facts in this interview. Standards and personal accountability can go a long way within your career as well as being able to be open and transparent with yourself. Joshua's mindset and how he view's the job is a must hear and I hope you all enjoy the conversation.IG: joshuaresweber

Episode 177 is on fire — in the best way!

In this episode of The Restaurant Coach Podcast, I sit down with Megan Coignard, owner of Nicolo's Pizza in Lakewood, Colorado—an independent restaurant operator who was once drowning in chaos, burnout, and the never-ending cycle every owner knows too well: firefighter mode.

Joined this week by the one and only Dave Quick. We get nerdy and talk about all things engine, hose, leadership and tactics. We start with the NFPA as Dave explains what we are getting right and wrong. The importance of the “Engine Boss” and what the title really means. The Engine company "urgents"… how to identify and rectify these issues at the pump panel. Of course no discussion with Dave would be complete without nerding out on some hose and attack package talk!  All derailed by the beautiful questions from the audience!!

We're getting into the groove of doing video podcasts now, and today we have another mixed bag of questions. They include the tax implications of moving abroad, whether to start a pension in your 60's, whether it's possible for a pension fund to be too big and lots more besides! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA34    01:24  Question 1 Hi Pete and Roger Thanks for the fantastic podcast, YouTube videos (and book) I have learnt so much. My question is essentially about whether to overpay my mortgage or invest. I have watched Pete's videos on this subject but just wanted to check if my situation changes anything. I'm a 41 year old Firefighter and I am in the Firefighters Pension Scheme. I am recently divorced and as such have had to start again with a 25 year mortgage currently fixed for 5 years at 4.1%. Essentially should I focus on overpaying this mortgage so that it is definitely paid off by the time I am 60 (When I can retire from the Fire service) as I already have the DB Firefighters Pension. Or would I still be better to invest this money in a stocks and shares ISA and use it to pay off the mortgage at a later date? My disposable income for whichever option would be around £200 a month. Lastly I will probably continue working past 60 yrs old but it may be in a different profession as by that age I may not feel like dragging hose and climbing ladders anymore! Thanks again, James   05:33  Question 2 Hi Pete and Roger, I've been listening to your brilliant podcast since COVID, so around 5 years now and always look forward to the new episode coming out. I don't really have a financial related question for you, more some advice... I've tried to educate my daughter on personal finance and I think she now has a good grasp and is interested in becoming a financial advisor. She is now 19, has decent A levels and has just completed an Art foundation course. She has University offers for September which she has deferred as she really doesn't want to go! We live in West Kent (nr Tunbridge Wells) and I've been looking for trainee, bottom of the rung, Financial advisor jobs for her but I can't seem to find anything. She could commute to London, if required but would rather stay local if possible. Do either of you have any suggestions about how she might be able to get into the industry? We're happy to pay for courses of that helps her but not sure what would be best. Sorry for the long email, any advice would be very gratefully received. All the best and keep up the great work Matt and Belle Hart   13:23  Question 3 Hello to Pete and Rog, Thanks for the podcast so far, my family is in a much sounder financial footing since I've started putting into action some of the basics you've spoken about previously. ISAs, pensions and insurance all ticking along nicely now - thanks to you! I have a question about my pension, is it possible to add too much? My thoughts are, if my pension pot in today's money is worth £1.25m when I retire, I can take the 250k tax free and £40k a year thereafter, anymore than this and I would be paying 40% tax on my drawings. Are there benefits I'm missing of having a larger pot (say £2m)? Not one I need to worry about yet, if at all, but it's always puzzled me! Many thanks for the content, keep up the good work and enjoy the sunshine this weekend! Adam   18:30  Question 4 Hi Pete & Rog, Have been a long time listener and have loved your double act with the self effacing banter alongside sound, sensible guidance on the minefield that personal finance can often seem to be. Listening whilst walking the dog is like chewing the fat down the pub with a couple of great friends, So my situation is this... 47 years old, married with two kids (11/14). Myself and my wife both have good jobs, own jointly (own names) 8 x BTL properties generating a profit. Equity in Portfolio is about £400k Portfolio was built to provide additional income and to support us in retirement (either the income or by selling) We have our own home (mortgaged) and are in the process of moving to a bigger place as we're growing out of where we are. This will come with a bigger mortgage as we're scaling up so to minimise the increase in monthly payments we're increasing the term back to our state retirement ages (which is a bit depressing!). So our ideal plan is to have the "choice" to semi retire / work as much or little as we want by age 57 - so around 10 years from now but we are not sure whether this is realistic and the best way to set things up to achieve it if it is. We would probably still work part-time beyond 57 but would want to have other sources of income that could support a comfortable lifestyle. To add to the complexity, but in a good way, I'm also in the process of changing jobs and the new job comes with a £20k pa pay rise and a matched pension at 6%. This is obviously lower than my current employers scheme but I plan to at least match what currently goes into my current employer pension one way or the other. So after what must be one of the longest pre-ambles you've ever read here are my question(s): In terms of where we are now do you think getting to a position where we have a choice to retire/semi retire in 10 years is realistic and what are the key things we should be doing now ten years out taking into account our circumstances? How would you approach the pension situation with my change of employer, my thought was to make contributions to my private pension to cover the overall reduction (9% matched to 6% matched) between employers so that I'm still putting in 18% overall. I think I may be able to put as much as I like into my new employers scheme though (but they'll only match 6%) so would this be a better option? In terms of our mortgage in 10 years it will still be around £350k so we would want to reduce this significantly or even pay off in full at that point. My thought was to sell 5-6 of the BTL's over 5 years leading up to age 57 to pay it down however this obviously reduces our passive income from the portfolio and we'd pay a chunk of CGT along the way. Are there any better ways of achieving the same result? I hope I haven't broken any rules around length of email and number of questions, I can only hope you'll treat this with your customary humour and patience! Keep up the great work guys. Best Regards, Nick 25:15  Question 5 Hello Pete and Roger -I'd like to say how your podcast has really helped me to focus on preparing for retirement ,so thank you . My question is I'm in my early 60,s I have 2 x Db pensions which will pay about £22000 Pa immediately if I choose , a full state pension at 67 and I have no mortgage and cash savings of £235000 half of which is in cash ISAs. My DB Pensions and state pension will be enough for my life style . I may move home next year hence the large cash savings and also because I recently divorced and that's how the settlement added to that figure. It was a coercive relationship and I'm so worried now I hold too much cash as I never had my own money to invest in a pension. Prior to the marriage and children I did work and pay into a pension which will provide half of the DB pension as stated earlier but that all stopped when I married. Should I start a personal pension now so close to retirement if I know I'll have spare cash to pay the max £3600 inc tax relief to take advantage of the tax relief and build up a pot not for income necessarily but for care home fees /inheritance tax costs for my two young adult children? Or shouldn't I worry? Many thanks for your help. Charlotte. 30:13  Question 6 Dear Pete and Rog, Thank you so much for your incredibly valuable podcast. I've learned a great deal from it and really appreciate the clarity and insight you bring to complex financial topics. Can't wait for the Youtube version to finally see what Rog looks like!  I had a question that I hope you might be able to shed some light on. My wife is from Slovakia, and we're likely to retire there in the future with our two children. I understand that capital gains tax and inheritance tax are both zero in Slovakia. However, I've read that UK-situs assets remain within the scope of UK inheritance tax even after leaving the UK, and that these would seem to include UK-domiciled OEICs such as the Vanguard LifeStrategy 100% fund, which I currently hold in a general investment account. Would it therefore make sense to consider switching from the LifeStrategy 100% UK domiciled fund to an Ireland-domiciled ETF such as the Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (VWRP)? Would doing so resolve the issue of UK IHT exposure on those Situs assets? Or transferring the UK OEICs to a global investment platform, would that work (seems too easy to be true)? Any other tips to look into before making the big move abroad? Thank you very much again for your time, and for all the invaluable information you share! Please keep it going ! Best regards, John  

Volunteer fire departments and EMS organizations face risks that most businesses can't even imagine. From wrongful termination claims to the unique dangers of the job, they need more than a standard policy, and they need a partner who understands the fire service from the inside out.My guest, Ed Mann, served as the Pennsylvania State Fire Commissioner for 15 years before joining Provident Agency. In this episode of The Broker's Voice, he shares the game plan for protecting first responders. We get into the critical importance of Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) for volunteer departments, how Provident's lifetime benefits protect those injured in the line of duty, and the powerful educational resources they provide to keep departments safe and compliant.

Inside the Lancashire Tactical Firefighting Summit: A Four-Part Series on Modern Firefighting.In episode two, Station Officer Gerard Mann of Fire Rescue Victoria builds on Dan's analysis by shifting the focus to how a fire service thinks strategically, tactically and culturally. Drawing on sixteen years across operations, training and doctrine development, Gerard lays out a simple but powerful framework that connects strategy, tactics, tasks and techniques. He explains why leadership alone can't deliver excellence, why capability lives at task and technique level, and why modern services need a unified operational language if they want predictable performance under pressure.Gerard also tackles the legal and ethical realities facing today's fire services. Following the death of Firefighter Isabella Nash and Australia's first operational manslaughter case, he explains why doctrine and training must be defensible, documented and aligned with real-world practice. From practitioner-written doctrine to bite-sized training modules and consistent instructor development, Gerard shows what an integrated, modern firefighting system actually looks like. This episode gives listeners the “how” behind building a service that can think and act as one.Access all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HEREPODCAST GIFT - FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

4 years of combination experience 3rd generation Firefighter. Volunteer Capt with Claymont Fire Company in New Castle County Delaware & career Firefighter/EMT with Christiana Fire Company. Nick's future is so bright. I actually envy how this generation of young Firefighters are obtaining so much useful knowledge, and gaining tremendous fire experience with how the fire service is moving. Being able to obtain information at the touch of a button is truly remarkable. At just 22 years young Nick's mindset towards the fire service and life is profound. If your an individual who's apart of the fire service and are looking for ideas on how to help obtain and retain members with your organization please do yourself a favor and listen to Nick explain how Claymont operates. We need more individuals like Nick to become future Officers of departments around the country. Holding up traditions, values and standards.IG: ncripps24

On today's episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with one of the most quietly powerful humans we've ever met—Dennis Lappin, a career firefighter, father, and American Ninja Warrior who embodies what real strength looks like when no one's watching.Dennis runs toward burning buildings for a living…and for fun, he runs straight into obstacles most people wouldn't ever attempt.But his story isn't about the spotlight.It's about the moment the lights went out.While training for American Ninja Warrior, Dennis tore his Achilles and calf—an injury known to end athletic careers, especially for tactical athletes who rely on explosive strength and stability. Doctors told him he might never compete again. Most people would've taken that as their cue to step back.Dennis didn't.He didn't fight his way back for cameras, applause, or a redemption storyline.He came back because ordinary people don't do extraordinary things—extraordinary decisions do.In this raw, emotional, and deeply human conversation, we explore: The exact moment he decided “I'm not done”Was it in the firehouse, during rehab, or alone at home when doubt got loud? Dennis opens up about the internal line he refused to cross. How he built elite-level fitness around 24-hour firefighter shifts, stress, trauma, and unpredictabilityFirefighting isn't structured—so neither was his training. His system wasn't built on convenience… it was built inside chaos. How he balanced three identities: firefighter, athlete, and fatherWhat happens when the heaviest “hat” isn't the one people see? Dennis talks about emotional load, fatigue, and showing up even when you're empty. Why his rehab philosophy wasn't to “get back,” but to LEVEL UPHe breaks down the one rehab principle everyone ignores—and why it completely changed his recovery. The real fear he faced—on a fire call and on the Ninja Warrior courseAnd the exact mindset tool he used to get through the type of fear you don't talk about. His message for anyone who says: “I'm too tired, too old, too busy, too late”Dennis doesn't give motivational clichés. He gives truth earned in smoke, sweat, and setbacks. What healthcare providers often misunderstand about firefighters and tactical athletesIf you treat firefighters, law enforcement, or military personnel—this is a masterclass in understanding stress load, biology, and performance under pressure. The one life lesson he hopes his kids remember from watching him fall and rise againA moment that will hit every parent, coach, and athlete right in the chest.This episode isn't about Ninja Warrior.It isn't about firefighting.It's about every human being who has ever been knocked down and had to decide whether today is the day they stay down… or rise.We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

Inside the Lancashire Tactical Firefighting Summit: A Four-Part Series on Modern Firefighting.In part one of this mini series, Dan Stephens breaks down the findings from his cumulative inspection of all three Welsh fire and rescue services, focusing on operational effectiveness at domestic dwelling fires. He walks through three years of data, nearly fifteen hundred dwelling fires per year and reveals the patterns that emerge when you strip away assumptions. From the true prevalence of fuel-controlled fires, to the widespread misreporting of “well alight,” to the over-reliance on nineteen millimetre hose reels even in post-flashover environments, Dan shows how these decisions shape firefighter survivability, civilian outcomes and the scale of avoidable damage.He also highlights the human factors at play: the limits of experiential learning, the legacy of outdated and conflicting operational policies, and the lack of clarity around what “good” looks like on the fireground. Dan doesn't point the finger at firefighters. Instead, he shows where the system has failed them and why now is the moment to rebuild doctrine, training and operational expectations properly. This opening episode sets the tone for the full series. Honest analysis, shared learning and a clear push for capability built on evidence rather than folklore.Access all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HEREPODCAST GIFT - FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we revisit one of the most surreal and unsettling trials in modern American true crime — the Arizona murder trial of Lori Vallow Daybell, the so-called Doomsday Mom who's decided to defend herself in court while accused of orchestrating the murder of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. This episode pulls listeners straight into the Chandler, Arizona home where it all happened: two bullets, one body, and forty-seven silent minutes before anyone called for help. Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) dissect the prosecution's opening narrative — one of delusion, greed, and cold calculation — and the defense's bizarre self-representation strategy that's turning the courtroom into a psychological sideshow. Prosecutors allege Lori conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles for a $1 million life insurance payout and to clear the way to marry her apocalyptic “soulmate,” Chad Daybell. The evidence? Texts invoking scripture to justify murder (“I will be like Nephi”), phone records revealing coordination, and chilling forensic details showing Charles was shot twice — the second bullet fired downward after he collapsed. Firefighters testified the scene looked staged: no CPR, no struggle, and an eerily spotless floor. Lori, meanwhile, was running errands — Burger King, Walgreens, dropping off her son — as her husband's body cooled on the tile. But this isn't just about evidence; it's about ego and delusion on trial. Motta breaks down Lori's decision to act as her own lawyer — fumbling through legal jargon, cross-examining witnesses who seem to know more law than she does, and repeatedly trying to exclude “inconvenient” evidence from the record. As he puts it, Lori's courtroom presence is “less Harvard Law, more hostage to her own hubris.” The prosecution, for its part, is playing this round differently — keeping the talk of “zombies” and dark spirits to a minimum while focusing on motive, money, and manipulation. The goal: strip away the spiritual theatrics and reveal the human greed underneath.

Motta breaks down Lori's decision to act as her own lawyer — fumbling through legal jargon, cross-examining witnesses who seem to know more law than she does, and repeatedly trying to exclude “inconvenient” evidence from the record. As he puts it, Lori's courtroom presence is “less Harvard Law, more hostage to her own hubris.” The prosecution, for its part, is playing this round differently — keeping the talk of “zombies” and dark spirits to a minimum while focusing on motive, money, and manipulation. The goal: strip away the spiritual theatrics and reveal the human greed underneath.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we revisit one of the most surreal and unsettling trials in modern American true crime — the Arizona murder trial of Lori Vallow Daybell, the so-called Doomsday Mom who's decided to defend herself in court while accused of orchestrating the murder of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. This episode pulls listeners straight into the Chandler, Arizona home where it all happened: two bullets, one body, and forty-seven silent minutes before anyone called for help. Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) dissect the prosecution's opening narrative — one of delusion, greed, and cold calculation — and the defense's bizarre self-representation strategy that's turning the courtroom into a psychological sideshow. Prosecutors allege Lori conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles for a $1 million life insurance payout and to clear the way to marry her apocalyptic “soulmate,” Chad Daybell. The evidence? Texts invoking scripture to justify murder (“I will be like Nephi”), phone records revealing coordination, and chilling forensic details showing Charles was shot twice — the second bullet fired downward after he collapsed. Firefighters testified the scene looked staged: no CPR, no struggle, and an eerily spotless floor. Lori, meanwhile, was running errands — Burger King, Walgreens, dropping off her son — as her husband's body cooled on the tile. But this isn't just about evidence; it's about ego and delusion on trial.

Cancer caregivers know how overwhelming diagnosis and testing can be. In this episode of The Cancer Caregiver Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Robert Bard, an internationally recognized expert in 3D Doppler ultrasound imaging, to discuss how non-invasive cancer screening is changing what's possible for patients and their caregivers.We explore how this advanced technology improves early detection of breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue—and why male breast cancer is often overlooked. Dr. Bard also shares insights on environmental exposures (like toxins, firefighting, and military service), how caregivers can support loved ones in getting second opinions, and why patient involvement in diagnostics can be life-saving.If you're a caregiver navigating cancer or someone searching for answers about screening and treatment options, this conversation will give you the tools, language, and confidence to ask better questions and advocate for your loved one.Timestamps00:00 – Welcome & introduction to Dr. Bard02:00 – What inspired Dr. Bard's focus on early cancer detection05:00 – How 3D Doppler ultrasound improves on mammograms & MRIs08:00 – Understanding male breast cancer and why it's overlooked13:00 – Environmental toxins, firefighters, and screening risks16:00 – 3D imaging for treatment guidance20:00 – Alternative & complementary approaches to cancer care23:00 – Why patients should always ask questions and get a second opinion28:00 – Firefighter and first responder screening programs30:00 – Upcoming global male breast cancer conference & resourcesCreditsGuest: Dr. Robert L.

A deadly inferno has torn through a massive housing complex in Hong Kong, killing at least 44 people with more than 270 others still missing, in what is shaping up to be the city's worst disaster in decades. Firefighters were still trying to get parts of the fire under control on Thursday morning with rescue officials saying extremely high temperatures inside the buildings were hampering their ability to reach residents they knew to be trapped.知识点：inferno n. /ɪnˈfɜːrnoʊ/a large and uncontrollable fire that causes great destruction. 地狱般的大火；大规模无法控制的火灾。e.g. The inferno in the warehouse took days to fully extinguish. 仓库的地狱般大火花了数天才完全扑灭。获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！ 【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等） 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

 In part two Chris Ward moves from the personal story into the practical blueprint. This is where the conversation shifts gears and gets straight into the habits, behaviours and systems firefighters need if they want to stay fit for the job for decades, not months. Chris opens up about the emotional toll of testing, the stigma around capability, and the reality that annual fitness fear is often a lifestyle problem not a treadmill problem. He breaks down how shift work, on call pressure, modern declarations, poor recovery, bad sleep, erratic training and even small daily choices stack up into long term decline. Chris digs deep into programming, nutrition, movement, strength, cardio, and the mindset shift from “training for the test” to building year round operational readiness. From menopause to chronic disease, from confidence issues to the mental health benefits of discipline and routine, this episode gives firefighters a clear, honest, and achievable path back to control. If part one was the wake up call, part two is the map. Find Chris HEREAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HEREPODCAST GIFT - FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

28 years of combination experience 2nd generation Firefighter. A Capt on Rescue 11 with Charlotte Fire Department and Deputy Chief with Town Of Davidson. Joel always knew he wanted to become a Firefighter. The path to get there might not of been the way he wanted but at the end of the day all we can do is work hard and keep ourselves grounded for success. Joel is definitely a mentor of mine who I believe brings value to an already long list of individuals who have graciously accepted my invitation. Although he was hesitant at first on coming on he certainly did not disappoint with his mindset and thoughts on various topics we discussed. I truly hope the listeners can tune into gems being dropped. And lastly if you know someone who has truly helped you in bettering yourself for the good don't be afraid to let them know while they're still here.

On the morning of November 12, 2023, FDNY members in Manhattan executed a dramatic dive rescue in the Hudson River. As initial FDNY units arrived, a witness reported that a man had climbed over the railing and fallen backward into the water. After a brief struggle, he disappeared beneath the surface. Within moments, FDNY surface swimmers and a SCUBA diver entered the river and located the victim 15 feet below.In this episode of the FDNY Pro Podcast, host Battalion Chief Jason Cascone speaks with Firefighter Jacob Dutton—the SCUBA diver involved in the operation—along with Captain Frederick Ill and Battalion Chief Thor Johannessen. All three are veteran rescue divers from FDNY Special Operations Command. They discuss the FDNY SCUBA program in depth, including the decision-making process for operationalizing a dive, the specialized equipment used by the Department and the extensive training required for these high-risk water rescues.

Firefighters in Kentucky ask state lawmakers to expand benefits for line of duty deaths, a third infant dies of whooping cough, how a Kentucky school district is helping kids grow from preschool to profession, and how cruises are added a new wave to the busy holiday travel season.

In part one Chris Ward goes deep on the truth about firefighter fitness, long term health, and the realities of staying operational into your sixties. From the early days of joining the service to the shock of pension changes, chronic illness, fear of capability tests and the uncomfortable slide from “fit at twenty eight” to “struggling at forty five”, Chris lays out why fitness for firefighters is no longer about passing a yearly treadmill minimum. It is about health span, resilience, and building a fitness pension that carries you through a forty year career and out the other side with a life still worth living. Raw, honest and full of lived experience, this episode cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what the job now demands.Find Chris HEREAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HEREPODCAST GIFT - FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

Alan Styles- 35 years of combination experience. Fire Chief of Dalton Township Fire Department in Michigan. Cadre member with Build Your Culture LLC. When I asked Alan to come on and talk shop he was hesitant at first. He didn't understand why I asked him. When you hear Alan talk the mindset he has towards the fire service is what most Firefighters want to hear coming from their respective Chief's. As Alan states he is definitely a “Unorthodox” Fire Chief but isn't bothered by the opinions of others. Alan's message revolves around accountability, EGO, family, Brotherhood & servant leadership. What I would like for the listeners to understand is at the end of the day YOU have to be able to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself with what you accomplished are you ok with every decision that was made? If not what are you going to do to better yourself and those around you? Alan didn't hold anything back. It was raw & honest and frankly we need more of this within the fire service. IG: papachief1

The All Local Afternoon Update for Monday, November 24 2025

This episode is a rare role reversal for me as I step into the interview chair for a live recording at South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service during International Mens Day 2025. Speaking with Station Manager Gary Devonport, I explore mens mental health, identity, masculinity and the realities that sit behind the uniform. We go into some deeply personal territory, from my past experiences with self destruction and addiction to the long road of recovery, alongside a wider conversation about the role men play as fathers, uncles, coaches and leaders in our communities and why positive male role models still matter.This is not a polished conversation and it was not meant to be. It is honest, challenging and sometimes uncomfortable, but it reflects exactly where I am at and what I believe needs to be talked about more openly. If you care about culture, leadership, the fire service or the pressures men carry silently, this episode will resonate. It is an invitation to think differently, reflect deeply and hopefully start conversations that go far beyond the watch room.Access all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HEREPODCAST GIFT - FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

In 2016, wildfires swept through the mountains east of John Day, Oregon — and a wildland firefighter captured shocking photos of a massive Bigfoot moving through the burned forest.In this episode of Bigfoot Society (Ep. 961), host Jeremiah Byron talks with Sayra Hall from the Bigfoot Fadez YouTube channel, who spoke directly with a friend of the firefighter behind the photos. Together, they uncover how these images reignited debate over Oregon's Bigfoot hotspots and the mystery that still surrounds them today.You'll also hear gripping eyewitness stories — hunters claiming Bigfoot stole their deer, mysterious orb lights in the woods, and unexplained disappearances deep in Clackamas County's Bigfoot Country.If you're fascinated by real Bigfoot encounters, Oregon wilderness mysteries, and firsthand accounts that challenge belief, this episode is a must-listen.Resources:Contact Bigfoot Fadez - bigfootfadez@gmail.comBigfoot Fadez Youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@Bigfootfadez
