Firefighter Kingdom

On this weeks episode we talk to Lt. George Asi who does procurement and ordering of firetrucks for Bernalillo County Fire Department (BCFD). He informs listeners on the custom ordering process which you can make each firetruck unique and even include ice cream machines if you wanted (hint: he’s never done it). This is an eye opening episode on how the process of firetrucks happens.
