Beyond the Emergencies with Tomball Fire Department feat. Fire Chief Joe Sykora and Assistant Chief Jeff Cook

Today on The Beef, John's got quite the job on his hands as his two bosses join him in the studio for a chat! Tomball Fire Department's own Fire Chief Joe Sykora and Assistant Chief Jeff Cook hang out with John and tell all about what it's like being some of Tomball's respected first-responders. All three of these amazing fellas have lots of experience in this field and talk about the benefits of working for the fire department (aside from putting out fires!), the love that they all have for Tomball as a city, and the importance of enforcing the rules. They share a heart-to-heart about how working together so closely helps build that sense of camaraderie that's less like working as friends, and more like working as family. For an amazing episode all about Tomball, first-responders, and everyone's comfort TV shows, be sure to listen in!
