Dragon's Den

About Dragon's Den

A firefighter podcast with 2 main purposes: 1.) To have fun, and possibly educational, conversations with retired and veteran members of the fire service from the South Louisiana area. The goal will be to preserve some of the history of the fire service and have them share funny stories and interesting experiences. 2.) To talk to other members of the fire service about more serious topics in the fire service. Leadership, training, fitness, discipline, service and any other topics that the guest would find important to share. We hope you enjoy the conversations as much as we enjoy making them.
