The Anchor Point Podcast

You've probably seen his hilarious videos on social media... Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Jason Patton with Fire Department Chronicles!

Show Notes

Jason Patton is a 14 year veteran of the structure firefighting world, and an actively working FFT/Paramedic in Florida. Aside from his service in fire, he is also the creator of the hilarious firefighter content with Fire Department Chronicles!

Jason is one of those dudes that always has a well timed laugh when folks need it. He says, "I started making videos as an outlet for the stress that I was enduring from my job as a firefighter,” Jason said. “It was a great outlet for me and my coworkers to de-stress and cope with what we see on a daily basis. Then I started getting messages from other firefighters and first responders saying that it helped them to laugh after bad calls.”

He also is the co-owner of Fire Department Coffee Co - A structure firefighter themed coffee company that gives back to the community by donating a portion of the proceeds back to injured firefighters, firefighters battling cancer, and the families of fallen firefighters...

In addition to this, he is also giving back to the community by being a part of the Banyan Treatment Center - A treatment center for people battling with addiction and mental health issues.

Jason just release a huge shoutout to the wildland community recently, and you can find all of his content at the following links:
