I could have talked to Jason about his profession for hours. The dynamics and processes and protocols and community inside the firehouses in Champaign are tightly aligned and something the residents of CU should hear more about. Listen as this multi-generational townie talks about the testing to become a firefighter, the drop in applicants over the decade, moving up the firehouse ranks at a comparatively young age, attending a college that specialized in a firefighting career, the alarming suicide rate and toll on mental health firefighting has on its employees, PTSD, the spouses left at home, cooking in the firehouse, Dancing With the Stars and why firemen have a reputation of being hotties!? I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor, Pixels by Emily.
