sportsman 65201One of the Best!Truly one of the best Fire Service podcast shows available! Jake is passionate for the fire service and training and has a great sense of humor. He interviews the well known Fire Service leaders as well as those not so well known but are trying to make their own departments better! Very insightful and enjoyable conversations.
