During the Woolsey Fire, I was floored to learn that California firefighters were not outfitted with hydration packs. I participated in a fundraiser for CalFire and LAFD Foundation to secure them, but I hate to be one who provided in an emergency. Better then than not at all, but I set out to educate myself and maintain my education to support a community that has supported me for as far back as memory serves (Los Angeles West Bureau, Battalion 9 - Engines 23 and 69, especially!) It was then that I found this wonderful podcast. The host culls through all the information to synthesize details, speaks articulately and not too technically (which would serve to marginalize the general public), allows interviewees to speak, asks pointed questions that show he - gasp - listens! I could go on and on. Bottom line: I have learned more from this podcast than any other. Thank you and please keep the wonderful content coming!

As a rookie volunteer firefighter that has been wanting to broaden my knowledge of the fire service I’ve been in search of various resources to help aide me. While there are many great firefighting podcasts out there this has been the most pertinent and informative I’ve found. Great work and thank you.

Love these short, very goal oriented podcasts. It’s a breath of fresh air. Some podcasts you have to listen to 50 mins of nonsense to get the ten minutes of good out of it! Great job, new subscriber here!

Short, sweet, intelligent, to the point, and extremely informative. Keep up the great work Scott!

I’m absolutely hooked! Each episode is filled with valuable information and resources. The real gem lies within the code 3 website.. It has a list of all of the episodes available with information about the guest speaker and any articles and/or books that the guest speaker has written. I’m currently reading: ‘Blood, sweat, tears, and prayers’ and have 2 other books on queue that I learned about through this podcast. The episodes always cover great topics and they aren’t lengthy like most podcasts. They’re perfect!

Would you be interested in calling me for a guest speaker?

I found out about "Code 3" about a week ago. I have listened to about 5 or 6 episodes so far. I think they are great! The one I like the most so far is the interview with Conrad Jackson. I enjoy hearing all the history of the fire departments in the old days in that episode. Every week when Scott posts a new episode I will listen to it right away! Keep up the good work and I hope you never stop doing this podcast, I really enjoy it! Thank you Scott for doing it! - Jared
