    Great podcast. I love how everything is unscripted and spoken from the heart. I had to stop the podcast when you were speaking about keeping the Fire Department and Family separate. I asked my wife to come into the office and listen with me. When I get home from a tour and my wife asks me how my tour was, I usually give a short “It was good”. She always seems like she wants more out of the converstaion by asking other questions or asking me to tell her what I did. I have tried to explain to her several time about keeping work and family separate, but she didn’t seem to get it. After we listened to your segment we talked about it, and it made a lot more sense to her why I don’t go into details. Thank you very much for that.

    Excellent information. As a fiction writer focused on the fire service the insight into the thought process during events such as 9/11 and Sandy is invaluable to me. I appreciate the emphasis BC Turner places on character, leadership and training throughout the career of a firefighter. Quality leadership isn’t a gift bestowed upon you when you pass your test for Captain. It is a conscientious decision made by men of character to become great leaders no matter their rank.

    Thank you guys for the feedback and nice words. I wish you all the best of health and safety.
