The Fire Minute
There are tricks of the trade in the fire service that are lost through retirements or shared by a few that have been fortunate enough to have been mentored by a firefighter that's seen a few things. The Fire Minute is an attempt to share some of those tricks of the trade to extend every firefighters' proverbial "Tools in the Toolbox". The items presented are simply methods that someone has passed on and we are passing them on to you, the viewer, in hopes that you get something out of it: discussion, a reason to get out and train, etc.
