Description

A typical first responder shift is 24 hours on, and 48 hours off. This opens the door for many first responders to run businesses in their off time. We're here to explore first responder-owned businesses, interview owners about how they did it, and share their success with the first responder community and beyond. 


Want to share your first responder business story?
We’re looking for authentic voices from the first responder community who are crushing it both on and off the job. 


Whether you scaled a company, launched a product, built passive income, or just figured out how to make the 24/48 schedule work in your favor, your story could inspire thousands of brothers and sisters doing the same grind. 


We’d love to have you on the show. Click her to send us your story.


Follow us (or we’ll keep sending you pictures of really bright lights at 3 a.m.):

  •  Facebook  (Warning: may cause spontaneous dancing in high-visibility vests)
  •  Tik Tok (We invented the “blinding transition” trend)
  •  Instagram (Warning: may cause your phone to request sunglasses)
  •  X (We promise not to blind you… much)
  •  YouTube ((Hit the bell or we’ll ring it with a 150dB siren at 4 a.m.)
  •  LinkedIn (Where we pretend to be serious adults for 2.5 seconds)


  • Ready to ascend to a higher plane of brightness? Click these or forever live in the dimness you clearly deserve:
  • FireTech (The mothership of bright ideas)
  • Redline (When “bright enough” gets you laughed out of the firehouse)
  • Whirl-E-Bird (The classic fire truck spinner, now engineered not to quit)
  • HiViz Lighting, Inc. (Firefighter-owned parent company of the brightest brands in emergency lighting)


Stay lit, legends. 🔥💡
