In this first episode, I set the stage for this mini podcast series by summarizing key trends and findings from the State of FireTech 2023 Survey and Annual Update. Download the 2023 report and summary here: https://www.wonder-labs.org/state-of-firetech.html and be sure to take the 2024 FireTech Survey before August 30, 2024 here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/firetech2024


In the next episode, you'll learn from my first guest Josh Wilkins, who recently retired as Fire Captain with the San Bernardino County Fire Department in Southern California! Josh is a second generation firefighter who has led responses to hundreds of wildfires over the past 27 years and will tell us about his journey with FireTech on the frontlines.
