We're challenging the status quo of health and safety in the US Fire Service. Listen in as we interview guests from the fields of mental health, fitness, sports medicine, chiropractic and of course, the Fire Service. We're interested in leaving the Fire Service better than we found it by letting firefighters have a more common-sense based standard for physical and mental wellness. There's a better way to do it and we're getting the message out! Thanks for listening brothers and sisters!
