The Fireground Fitness Podcast, Rayne Gray

Firefighters have a long history of telling stories. We call them "war stories"! Often they are told to decompress from a stressful event and sometimes to share knowledge but typically its to get a laugh! Which, when it's done right, accomplishes both of the first two purposes. Ep. 27 features Nick Baskerville; a Firefighter from Northern Virginia and storyteller on a mission. Nick strives to use storytelling as a tool to deepen the learning experience in the classroom. A talent that all instructors should strive toward. When He is not in the classroom he finds himself on stage weaving tales and telling jokes. A couple of which he shares with us! Check it out!

Giving back is a big part of fire service tradition and Christopher Baker fully embraces this tradition. Serving 14 on the job, while also volunteering his time with the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, the National Fire Heritage Foundation as well as running his own "Future Firefighter" mentoring group. And if that's not enough he's currently sitting on an IFSTA validation committee for the 8th edition of the "Fundamentals of Firefighting". In episode 26 we covered a tremendous amount of topics but spent most of our time talking about the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation's "everyone goes home" campaign. A topic worthy of your time, check it out! You can find the Fireground Fitness podcast wherever you get your podcast content. So, please search it out and subscribe.
