Hi I am Lance Thrower. I am a firefighter and an engineer. I design and build prototype wild land fire trucks and buggies out of parts we find anywhere. With a strong leaning into robotics and Ai in combating fires. Our mission is to travel to Fire Departments in Latin America. We learn how they handle urban firefighting and my specialty, wild land forestry. And we see where we can help their department too. May this show be a recruiting tool for potential men and women interested in being a first responder in Latin American. And our stories abroad doing what we love the most.

Freedom is happiness

If you were a dumbass half of your life, why would people give you a good job? Do ex convicts of non violent crimes deserve to be ostracized from planet earth? Or do they deserve a chance? I challenge this. People deserve human happiness.

Firefighter in Latin American

Many people are interested in being a part of the firefighter family. I encourage you to think about moving to Latin America for the experience and legal accredited schooling for firefighter, EMT, paramedic, combat training, self defense and living off the grid. Think about it. You won’t regret it.
