Hard Truths for a Hard Job

This week we break down the stuff no one tells you about being a firefighter. The stuff that suuuucks, the top things that suck to be exact. Think you aren't afraid of heights? Danny describes situations where you can't help but be afraid, & are forced to immediately overcome that fear because you have no choice. Think being a rookie firefighter is just a little hazing & tests? Danny describes the intense physical & mental toll of being a rookie firefighter & how it begins from day one. We learn how Danny's 1st day as a rookie lasted 3 days, & had him questioning his career choice. Think going to structure fires is cool? We get the real breakdown minute by minute in a commercial structure fire, how it's really cool & exciting, until it isn't. What about the possibility of serious injury or death in way more places than you realize? All of the crap you see, the lack of sleep, stress, did we mention fear? There were some positive things too, but you'll wanna hear this episode if you're thinking of joining the fire department.
