Main Street Firefighting

Hosts Chris Tobin and Alexis Shady interview Chief Dave LeBlanc from Harwich, Massachusetts. The chief is a wealth of knowledge, and allowed the hosts to pick his brain on the firefighting culture of the Cape, what it means to have an aggressive truck culture in terms of overhaul, and the inherent hazards of Cape Cod construction. 

See this PDF for images of buildings from the chief’s area.
