Firehouse Table Talks
United States
Registrace 28. 03. 2024
Welcome to Firehouse Table Talks! We are in the process of setting up a new podcast for First Responders, Veterans and their families. As a career firefighter, the kitchen table at the firehouse holds a special place for us. After runs, we sit around the table with a cup of coffee and we critique what went right and analyze what went wrong. We celebrate the "wins" and grieve the "losses". The name of this channel and podcast was inspired by a short story written by a Brother Firefighter, Brian Weiskittle simply titled "The Table". We will try and discuss topics that affect our everyday lives. The good, bad and ugly side of the professions we choose to provide for those we love. We will try and have some special guests and listen to their stories.
Welcome in. Grab a cup and pull up a chair!

This was an unscheduled recording but I felt it was a necessary one. I start off with a short story called "The Soldier in the Hole". This story rings true to many of us who have found ourselves in those "Dark Holes". Sometimes it can feel like you're alone and all by yourself but I assure you that you are not alone.

The Contra Costa County fire department is a taxpayer funded commissioners approved city leaders sanctioned white supremacy hate group. They will frame innocent law abiding minorities by starting small fires and “investigating” them then determine a “suspect” those same law abiding minorities. Of course like any good criminal hate organization they will then team with the lying racist Walnut Creek police department to harass and surveil the same innocent law abiding minority to the fullest extent of the “law”. I know of what I write. Jesus Christ is the answer.
