🔥🚒 THE FIREHOUSE ROUND TABLE IS BACK — ROUND #2! 🎙️🔥

Mayhem Militia, you asked for it, and we're bringing it BACK!

Friday, November 6, 2026, at 7:00 PM Central Time, all FOUR original members of the Firehouse Round Table are returning for another night of raw, unfiltered conversations about today's fire service!

After the response we received from our first round table, we knew we couldn't stop there.

This time around, we're digging even deeper!

🔥 More training talk.
🔥 More accountability.
🔥 More fire service culture.
🔥 More uncomfortable conversations.
🔥 And probably a few nerves struck along the way!

We're talking about the issues that matter, the conversations that need to happen, and the things that aren't always popular to say out loud.

No scripts. No sugarcoating. Just four guys sitting around a table, sharing experiences, opinions, and probably a whole lot of laughs!

🔥 THE FIREHOUSE ROUND TABLE — ROUND #2

🚨 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Have a topic you'd like us to cover? A question you've been wanting to ask one of the guys? Something happening in today's fire service that deserves a conversation?

Drop it in the comments, send us a private message, or email us! We'll review your submissions and may bring them to the table LIVE!

A huge thank you to Muddy River Training for returning as the presenting sponsor of the Firehouse Round Table! Your continued support helps make conversations like these possible.

Mayhem Militia, mark your calendars, spread the word, and get ready!

Because on November 6th, we're pulling up four chairs, turning on the microphones, and getting right back into it!

🔥 ROUND #2 — LET'S GET AFTER IT!
