Beyond the Headlines: Navigating Firehouse Culture and Rebuilding Relationships
In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, Alex Tanner shares his journey from frustration and isolation to finding connection and growth in the fire service. Starting as a second-generation volunteer with high expectations, Tanner confronted the reality of evolving firehouse cultures that feel less like family and more like fractured groups. His first article, “The Angry Young Fireman,” candidly explores how unchecked passion and blunt honesty can damage relationships and stall careers. Tanner details his own wakeup calls—like ranking last in promotions despite strong skills—and the crucial lessons in humility and communication he’s learned since. He emphasizes that rebuilding trust requires restraint, respect, and meaningful engagement beyond just firefighting tactics.
