Today's guest on The Stoke and Vent Podcast is Nick Higgins. Nick is the creator and editor of The FireHouse Tribune, author of the book, The 5 Tool Firefighter, and is a Lieutenant and Training Instructor in New Jersey, USA, as well as the host of the 5 Tool Firefighter Podcast, and co host of The Station Talk Podcast.

Nick and I discuss his role in the fire service, his introduction and route into life in the fire service, his background in college baseball, mental and physical health, and his approach to work and to life. 

As this interview took place on 9/11 this year, we also discuss the events of September 11th 2001, and Nick’s own personal experiences and relationships that were affected by the events that day.
