We got a chance to sit down and talk to them about the details of this call and the WHY behind the success of this mission. This episode is heavy on the emotion of this call, the tactics that lead to success, and is absolutely inspirational for any firefighter. “To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.”-Winston Churchillhttps://hortonsandhunt.com/
