Establishing Non-Negotiable Tasks for Firefighter Success

Preston has served as a firefighter/paramedic at North Metro Fire in Colorado for nine years. He is a 10-year Navy veteran and got his  start in firefighting as an aircraft crash and salvage firefighter onboard the flight decks of aircraft carriers during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Then had his first exposure to structure firefighting in the 850 as a volunteer firefighter in Escambia County, FL in 2010. Preston is also the creator of Fit Fire Fortitude on Instagram but has recently rebranded and created a podcast under the name Relentless Rejects. we’ll dive into this topic and several others, including his recently published article “When fire conferences meet reality” referenced in the show notes. Preston is a driven non nonsense firefighter who holds himself and others around him accountable through his actions not just his words. Preston has some thought provoking ideas and we had an excellent conversation.
