In this episode of From the Cab, we take a hard look at attitude: how it shapes the culture of a crew, the effectiveness of a leader, and the trust of the people around us.

The right attitude can elevate a shift, steady a team under pressure, and turn adversity into growth. The wrong one? It can poison morale, kill momentum, and hold everyone back.

This isn’t about fake positivity or motivational clichés. It’s about ownership, self-awareness, and understanding that your attitude is either part of the solution or part of the problem.

Because in this job, and in life, you don’t control every situation.

But you always control your attitude.

In today’s fire service, the kitchen table isn’t the only place conversations happen anymore—they’re happening online, loud, fast, and often without context.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the phenomenon of Facebook firemen and what it represents in modern fire culture.

We talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly, as well as public criticism, pile-ons, and armchair quarterbacks.

This isn’t an attack, and it’s not blind praise. It’s a real conversation about accountability, professionalism, and remembering that there are real firefighters and real families behind every post, video, and comment.

On today’s episode, we’re joined by the one and only Chevis Sexton. A former Captain with the Irmo Fire Department, Chevis now serves as a Captain with the South Spartanburg Fire District.

Chevis is a firm believer in servant leadership and putting others before self. He is a strong advocate for balancing the needs of his people with the department’s mission—without sacrificing the growth, advancement, or integrity of either.

When we say we had a blast recording this episode, that might be an understatement. This is one you won’t want to miss.
