We are Max and Leah, a father and daughter duo, here to illuminate the intense world of firefighting. We are pulling back the curtain and giving you thirty-one years of first hand experience, which includes, fire station life, griping perspectives, and the untold stories of a firefighter. Riding Big Red is not for the faint of heart. We unveil many gruesome, graphic, and heart-wrenching calls that most people never get to hear about. We shine light on the true realities of the courageous and heroic men and women that ride Big Red.
