We're joined by LAFD Battalion Chief Kris Larson. An awesome guest who candidly tells us her super interesting life story. Sure she was the 1st black woman Captain, Task Force Commander, & Battalion Chief in the history of LAFD. But did you know she was a 3 time All American on the legendary UCLA track team in the late 80's with Olympic legends like Jackie Joyner Kersee? Strap in as she takes us on a journey that starts in a small town in Washington & goes thru multiple firefighter assignments, the riots, rookies taking selfies at fires, recruiting, fire camps for girls, drill tower instrcution, covid testing 10,000 people a day, almost crashing in the engine, & working with our dad. Yes, Chief Larson rode with our dad for a couple of years & tells us some funny and cool stuff about working with him. You get a lot of great advice for up and coming firefighters here.
