About this podcast
Real life stories from first responders of all types: Law Enforcement, Corrections, Fire, EMS, 911 Dispatchers, etc. Stories from their own experiences shared with you so that you can develop a picture of what their work is like. They will tell you wild and crazy stories, Intense stories and words of wisdom from lessons learned. The stories are real, however, due to the sensitive nature of the calls; names, places and specific names of the department and storyteller may be withheld or changed. The podcast has a goal to encourage and motivate the listener to better appreciate the service that is provided by these responders and maybe to cause men and women to step up the line and become one of the few who answer the call.
