Joined by the one and only Todd Edwards. Excited to talk to him about developing a size-up mindset, fire tactics, training philosophy, incorporating family into the fire life and as always everything that the audience threw at us! Was very excited for this one, and it did not dissapoint!

Joined by none other than Bob Pressler himself to focus on talking about the basics, a little about nozzles, VES, and the current mindset, how long do we have to make firefighters... and of course everything that the amazing live audience threw our way.
