Longtime firefighter, public information officer, and bagpiper Tim Burr joins the Frontline Outfitting Podcast to share a life shaped by service, tradition, music, and brotherhood. 

Tim talks about growing up in Wisconsin, Montana, and Oregon, finding his way into the fire service through the influence of Emergency! and Report from Engine Co. 82, and spending decades serving with Eugene Fire, Eugene Public Safety, and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue. 

This episode also dives deep into the tradition of bagpipes in police and fire service — from the FDNY and NYPD Emerald Society bands to post-9/11 memorials, line-of-duty funerals, the Tualatin Valley Pipes & Drums, playing for Ronald Reagan’s inauguration, the President of Ireland, Dropkick Murphys, and countless fallen firefighters and officers across the Pacific Northwest. 

More than anything, this is a conversation about legacy — the people who pass on tradition, the duty of honoring the fallen, and the friendships built through a lifetime of service.
