With nearly 20 years in the fire service, Adam talks about good firefighters and officers who are willing to meet the organization halfway. The conversation dives into training, growth, and what it takes to keep getting better in the job. As always, expect a little wisdom, a little sarcasm, and the usual garage-level nonsense. 🚒🥃
