Topics Covered
About Lars from SwedishFireNerd.com
THE IRONY OF LIFE
Born and raised in northern Sweden I had no ambition to join the fire service. As youth passed by, a career behind a desk started to look more and more like prison. I ended up in Firefighting School and later in a fire service working as a firefighter. Today I serve as a Battalion Chief. Now I sit behind a desk most of my time. The irony of life. However, I keep my feet on the ground, training firefighters is still my main focus. In this new day of the technology age I realize that I can inspire and educate more firefighters through the computer. That idea keeps me motivated behind my desk.
I am standing on the shoulders of giants. Where would I be if I had not started asking questions to Stefan Svensson? Where would I be if I had not read Eurofirefighter by Paul Grimwood? Where would I be if I had not traveled to Croatia to meet Shan Raffel and John McDonough? The list of people that has greatly contributed to where I am today is far too long to mention here. But know that I am grateful.
FAILURE IS THE FIRST STEP TO SUCCESS
The harder things I try to accomplish, the greater the risk of failing. I have tried many things where I have succeeded. But I have also failed many times. Being a Firenerd means learning from all experiences, and sharing them with others. That is why I call myself the Swedish Firenerd. With pride.

Jumpseat Radio 044 Firefighter Families with Lori Mercer
In this week episode of Jumpseat Radio host Ryan Pennington welcomes Lori Mercer from the firefighterwife.com. Lori is the Chief Fire Wife for firefighter wife where she has established a community of wives that share information about being a wife/husband of a firefighter.
Lori Mercer Meet the "WifeOnFire" Behind This Community
I am Lori Mercer AKA "WifeOnFire" and founder of this community. My husband Dan is the firefighter who qualifies me for this noble title and who so courageously has chosen to lead with Husband and Dad as his most important titles, even before that already amazing title of Firefighter.
Together we give our all at parenting our 4 kids (as of Feb 2015 ages 15, 12, 10 and 7). When we were newlyweds and the kids were toddlers and pre-schoolers and I was seemingly always pregnant or nursing non-stop, we were a bit of a train wreck. And I partially blamed the fire service. By the grace of God we survived! And we're here to share our story and make a safe haven of encouragement for others fire families.

After the show…..
Once we ended the podcast Tony called back to share this confirming experiences following his return to active firefighting duty. He describe it as a series of events that proved that God is continuing to watch over him.
While on an airplane ride to a mission trip, after returning to work, Tony began to read “Is Heaven Real.” He quickly realized that he shared the same birthday as Colton Burpo,the boy the book is written about.Tony found it odd that of all birthdays, they shared the same. On the same plane ride a passenger noticed the book he was reading and shared that she too had the same birthday, May 19th, Tony again was shown God’s direction in his life. As the final topping on the cake on May 19th, his birthday, Tony was eating Chinese food and opened a fortune cookie that read: “God looks after you especially”
“Ryan I have eaten Chinese Food my entire life I had never seen a fortune like this”, Tony explained. “Until this very day I carry this fortune with me as a reminder that God is watching over me.”
