In this week’s episode, Matt, Doug, and Unkie get real about burnout, passion, and what it means to stay motivated in the fire service—especially after decades on the job. Doug’s allergies are flaring up, Adam’s pulling full-time dad duty, and Matt’s stuck in a hotel… but the mics are on and the conversation is solid.
The crew checks in on themselves and each other, digging into the leadership traits they admire most—and the ones they struggle with. From fading passion to professionalism, from firehouse vibes to fireground performance, it's a raw, reflective look at the human side of firefighting.
🔥 Can passion survive politics? 🔥 Does communication solve the “loud dog” problem? 🔥 Should we really be parking in the red while buying groceries? 🔥 And why is Unkie’s four-minute home rule changing the game?
Also: shoutouts to Unkie’s Seasoning, Burn Box, FD Collectors Club, and a quick dive into arson investigation training from Pinehurst.
Whether you're a rookie, a vet, or somewhere in between, this one’s for the ones trying to keep the fire lit.
