Firefighter Chronicles

The Patrick Eley Podcast is for entertainment purposes ONLY and is a work of fiction. My guests in this episode are Northern California firefighters. Their candor is admirable as they discuss the harder aspects of saving lives for a living. We talk about some of their most horrific scenes, feeling called to serve a community, risking your life for murderers, and overcoming family tragedy. We touch on personal responsibility, the importance of seeking out struggle, embracing hardships, being yelled at by family members and civilians [you are trying to help], PTSD, and being anchored by having a family to come home to when you risk your life daily. This episode unexpectedly became an educational piece for those dealing with adversity and identity, and I’m grateful for their time, humor, and honesty.
