Brilliant show gents and chief Steve it was great to hear your wonderful stories in cfd

He's got an incredible sense of humor.

[@bensoffe7606]

Well done guys, that was a great episode! The chief sounds like a good guy and can tell a great story. The film work added an extra something to things too. I like the numbering of the photos, makes everything run so much smoother. Keep up the good work.

[@randyhogan3071]

That's like one of the best shows!

[@crwmdp9]

Now days I just go ahead and hit the like button as soon as I start the video. Great content as always, my brothers.

[@denniswiemer72]

Another great show. Lots of great information. I used to make my old Scott’s last much longer than rated by controlled breathing…and demand. Great advice.

[@mcmullinyardhaunt]

Great show last night. Had to finish it today due to a call.

[@chassisresearchkid]

Fantastic show again 🙂

[@denzz8687]

For those interested, Chicago Fire Season 2 episode 17 was the episode inspired by Steves experience with the hero dad fire.

@1:05 "you go,...we go!"

[@daveport9852]

Another home-run GSE!

[@jeffbasalto5274]

Great show!!

[@trailhog86]

Chik is such a great guy and a fire service treasure! I was privileged to ride out with his station about 15 years ago when he was batt 22 when i was brand spanking new in the fire service. Great shift, got my balls busted hard for not bringing pastries and knocking Chik out of the poker tournament.

[@chassisresearchkid]

You need to find some Detroit guy's, just to hear about how fucked up that whole department is. The guys bust there asses with a pile of under staffed Riggs and riggs, and hydrants that don't work.

[@andrewyaden5209]

And get paid shit

[@j.dtehle7098]

I just want to know where your ceiling is cuz it keeps getting higher every show!!!

[@patrickharvey158]

Anyone notice that sport model alternate breathing device at the 23 min mark

[@ronzoni07]

Luck…..Suck…..same thing 😂😘
