From all of us here at The Firehouse Tribune, we would like to wish you all a very healthy and happy new year.

Thank you for all of your support and we will continue to keep the love and passion of fire service going!

As we look back on 2021 and venture into 2022, we had many great memories of the year. We started off by welcoming our newest contributor Assistant Chief Tom Marchiano to the team and followed up with guest opportunities with a few podcasts - FIRExTalk & The 5-Alarm Task Force.

Earlier this year, we took part in a fundraising webinar hosted by The 5-Alarm Task Force and Insight Training discussing the many roles on the fire ground and how they play a role in a MAYDAY incident. This brought us connections throughout the fire service and opened us up to where we are today.

We’ve reached the continent of Africa and worked with the Africa Fire Mission in training firefighters all across the continent of Africa from various countries on many aspects of the job. We hope to continue our work with them in the future and hopefully branch out to other parts of the world as well.

Late this year, we released our live webinar series “The Firehouse Tribune Kitchen Table Web Series” and launched our first episode with Lt. Nick Baskerville discussing mentorship in the fire service.

Our second episode will be Tuesday January 25, 2022 at 7p with Asst. Chief Tom Marchiano who will be discussing “Six Tips to Guide New Fire Officers”. To register click the link below. This is 100% FREE to register and participate! Registration is limited to 100 participants.

Our founder Nick Higgins ended this year by releasing his first book “The 5-Tool Firefighter”. Available both on Amazon and the Firehouse Tribune.

Looking forward to a blessed and healthy 2022 and let us not forget those that did not make it to 2022. May we always remember and honor these individuals through our commitment to the job and continuing to stay on the path of success, humility and leaving this gift we have each day better than we found it.

Here’s to all of you and your families and here’s a toast saying goodbye to 2021 and let’s get it on 2022! Cheers! 🥃

Until next time; work hard, stay safe & live inspired.
