My guest this week is none other than Mike Greco. He is a very opinionated firefighter and not afraid to share his mind.

Of course the best laid plans by the Scrap are always beautifully derailed by the best audience in the world, and they delivered this time around!

Show notes

Joined on this episode by Chief Michael Paschal and I am excited for all that we got to discuss. It seems like every class I attend in my home state he is always there. Even with his decades of experience he is still a student of the game. He has forgotten more than I know about fireground strategy and tactics and it was an awesome discussion. Of course the questions from the audience always bring the heat. Enjoy an amazing episode!!!
