In this episode of From the Cab, we’re throwing on the red lights—but this time, for general tom foolery. Join us as we dive into the legendary world of firehouse pranks—the good, the harmless, and the unforgettable. From repurposing inside furniture to old school alarm clocks at 3 a.m., this episode captures the lighter side of life at the firehouse.

We talk about the unspoken art of keeping morale high, how humor bonds crews, and why having fun—safely and respectfully—is part of what makes the fire service unique.

It's a behind-the-bays look at the culture, camaraderie, and creative mischief that turn a firehouse into a second family.

Whether you’re on shift, off duty, or just need a laugh, this one’s for you.

Warning: May cause spontaneous chuckling and inspire your next prank idea (just don’t blame us).

This week on From the Cab, we’re talking about something that matters as much as turnout gear and training: mental health.As firefighters, we are trained to handle the pressures of the job, but the weight we carry isn’t always physical. In this candid episode, we look to break the stigma, share real stories, and talk openly about what it means to take care of your mind, not just your body.

We explore how cumulative stress, trauma, and the “tough it out” culture can take a toll—and what departments and individuals can do to fight back with support, resources, and brotherhood. Because strength isn’t just how much you can lift—it’s also knowing when to speak up.

If you’re in the fire service, this conversation is for you. If you love someone who wears the uniform, it’s for you too.

You’re not alone. And it’s okay not to be okay.

Season 2 kicks off with a powerful conversation, straight From the Cab.

Today, we’re joined by four extraordinary women — our wives. Beyond managing their own careers, they are the steady hands steering our families through the highs and lows of first responder life.

In this episode, they share real stories, hard-earned wisdom, and the strategies that help them navigate each day. Whether you’re part of the first responder community or simply looking for strength and perspective, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
