The Professional Volunteer Fire Department: 30 Fires You Must Know!

A somber but important but very important episode as Chief Frank Leeb and Chief Billy Goldfeder join me to discuss their new book "30 Fires You Must Know." Joining us are four contributors to the book Chief Mike Lombardo (Buffalo, NY), Chief Mark Wessel (Keokuk, IA) Chief Steve Kalman (Hackensack, NJ), Captain Joe Woyjeck (Los Angeles, CA). If the names Hackensack, Keokuk, Yarnell Hill or Buffalo don't resonate with you as a firefighter, you need to listen to this podcast. And, if they do, still join in and listen to this great discussion about the valuable lessons learned that apply even still today. And while we are doing that, we honor the memory of the brothers and sisters lost in the line of duty. A can't miss episode.
