What’s changing at the Alabama Fire College—and what’s next for Alabama’s fire service?

On the first episode of Alabama’s Fire Service Podcast, Josh McDaniel and Justin McKenzie sit down with Matt Russell for a conversation about the Alabama Fire College, the evolution of firefighter training and certification, leadership, accreditation, and how the College is preparing to meet the changing needs of Alabama’s fire service.

We also get into the work that happens behind the scenes, the importance of relationships across Alabama’s fire service, and Matt’s perspective on where we’ve been and where we’re headed.

Alabama’s Fire Service Podcast brings firefighters, officers, chiefs, instructors, and fire service leaders together for meaningful conversations about the issues affecting our profession.

Forge. Inform. Respond. Engage.

I'd also use @alabamafireservice everywhere you can. That's a very clean handle and helps establish “Alabama Fire Service” as the umbrella identity rather than tying the podcast too tightly to one organization.
