In this week's episode, we are joined by Battalion Chief Pete Finnerty to talk about his experience being one of the first BCs on the scene of the Eaton Fire. This conversation includes some insight into the mysterious world of what a BC actually does and what they are thinking about and preparing for en route to an incident, all alone in their "fire SUV". This conversation hinges heavily on Chief Finnerty's perspectives on leadership, not only on the fire ground but also in life. We thoroughly enjoyed having "Angry Pete" on the show, and we know you're going to enjoy this episode. Make sure you check out the info at the end of the episode for the "Out of Ashes" event at Crossroads Community Church, happening on Thursday the 27th. Nole and his family will be there, and we'd love to see you out there as well. See the link below for more information.
Join us at Crossroads Community Church for the Out of Ashes event on February 27th at 4:30!
