This week we’re joined by Ben Flores, a firefighter from Seaside, who walks us through his journey into the fire service — from the moment he knew this was the job to the grind of actually getting there. We talk holiday fire prevention (because nothing ruins Christmas like a kitchen fire), the reality of first calls, and the unforgettable moment of getting stuck inside the fire engine when the adrenaline was already maxed out.

It’s equal parts informative, chaotic, and hilarious — a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a firefighter from someone who actually lives it… not just someone who owns a red toy truck.
