Deputy and Cap. We're Back

Feel free to contact us about a fire fighting story in your family: siblingsintheservice@gmail.com

Goldfish

We sat down with our cousin Goldfish and talk about what it was like to join the service after becoming a husband, being a new father and serve with two close family members he grew up with. We talk a bit about going on training together and the farmers market too, the three of us run a fair amount of calls together so we already know he will be a returning guest at some point! Please contact us with any questions, comments or stories you want out there. siblingsintheservice@gmail.com

Deputy and Cap. The Ones That Stick

This episode, Deputy and Cap take the time to reflect on medical calls that they had early in their careers, that really stuck with them. Deputy had a fairly personal connection to his, while Cap's was essentially a stranger but both still think about those patients on a regular basis. We also touch on the wildfires that are currently ravaging the province and exhausting our fellow brother and sister firefighters. Anyone who has experience with forest fires of this size, we would love to hear from you. siblingsintheservice@gmail.com

PFAS And The Return of Chief

We sit down with Chief once again for a talk about PFAS and how he successfully switched all of his members to "Clean" Turnout Gear. We touch on some of the health effects and the road blocks he faced the last couple years. Perfluoroalkyl or Polyfluoroalkyl substances, a group of chemicals that have properties that allow them to repel water, dirt, and oil and is known as a forever chemical. We encourage all listeners to do their own research on PFAS as there is more information and videos than we could ever cover in an episode. Contact us if you have a story of family connection you want to get out there, if there's a topic you would like to hear us cover or just general questions and feedback. siblingsintheservice@gmail.com
