Welcome to Fight in Progress!

Today we are honored to be joined by the hilarious Firefighter Fenton. We know what you've been thinking... is the mustache real? You'll have to tune in to find out! You can expect a lot of laughs as he shares the inspiration behind his videos, how he joined Fire Department Coffee, and how he balances his work with his responsibilities at home. Thank you Firefighter Fenton for joining Fight In Progress.

Description:

Fight in Progress with Susan Simons aims to discuss problems and difficulties our officers face every day from sleep deprivation, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and adrenal fatigue, to depression, isolation, physical illnesses, emotional distress, divorce and all too often suicide. Fight in Progress looks to cover these topics and discuss their solutions to help these warriors navigate these threats through education and preparation. We speak to experts, officers and their families from around the country to have hard discussions on what challenges this community faces, and what we can do to strengthen our men and women in law enforcement.
