Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bostonone else ask good morning, Boston, how are you today?
I have very special guests as usual, Guadro Ombres, Cassie Ombre,
Gast Visitana. I'm so proud to have firefighters in the house,
but they're not just a regular typical firefighter.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I feel protected. I'm not intimidated by all these men here.
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
They besides saving lives and taking care of our community,
they have a special project Station eight and with you.
I'm gonna let them introduce themselves because I would be
doing a deservice at the service if I do it myself.
So can we start with everybody's name? Say hello to
our audience. Boston is here listening to all of you.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Hello Boston.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I'm Jean, Hey Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
My name is Felix, Hey Boston.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
My name is Iiggy.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I'm Johnny. Excellent, and you are Station A Excellent. What
is Station eight?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
So?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Station eight is a station that takes place in the
fictional world, and in that station are four five fitters,
which are Felix, Jean, Johnny and Niggy, And just like
real firefitters, we respond to these calls and we help
the public with these things and Our job is to
educate kids about fire safety, life safety, life lessons, teaching
(01:30):
them about real places, real people, and real things.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Amazing. So who is Station eight? Just the four of you?
Is there any anybody else involved?
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Nope, but it's just the four of us. And like
Iiggy said, our job is to teach kids, you know,
fire safety and all that. And there's a lot of
fire departments I already do that, they teach kids fire safety.
We have a fire prevention you know section in our
pretty much in our department. But our goal is to
pretty much like teach kids and make it in a
fun way so they can retain the information that we're
giving them, so they can retain all the lessons that
(02:03):
we want to give them, and make it fun. Like
I said, we use music and you know, we video
grab do videos and YouTube and all that stuff, so
kids can you know, find us out there and they
can reach everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Pretty much.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I would love to know how did all of you
get into firefighting because to me, that's so brave and
it's scary and it's a sacrifice, long hours. What does
that entail? Like I want to hear every single story
of all of you.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Well, I always want to be a firefighter since I
was probably like a kid like eight nine years old,
because we used to when I grew up in Lowell.
So we slip next to a fire station and I
remember I guess their moments. This day it was Christmas
and we lived in the third floor apartment and the
apartment next door caught fire, so I just I remember,
(02:56):
you know, you know, I remember to this day like
we were watching wrestling in the room and then everybody
starts screaming, get out, get out, get out, So you know,
we couldn't go to the front, and just full of smokes,
we headed out to the back and uh went across
and we went across the street, and then we just
saw the firefighters go to work.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
You know.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
It was just and from that day, like, you know,
I want to do that.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
How that that's so inspirational too, because you lived it,
so you know exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
What people are going through.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I have a very personal good friend of mine that
I love very much, Lose Mark, if you're listening, she
went through it. She she also had an experience where
her house burned and then she had to jump out
the window, and it was like a whole experience with
a brand new baby, her kids.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's just a lot, and she was impacted.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And if it hadn't been because of you guys, I
probably would not be telling the same story today, right,
and she would be in a very different place. So
thank you so much for what you do. How about
because next telling me the story, Johnny's.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Actually my older brother. Okay, so, but he pretty much,
you know, inspired me kind of like paved the way
for me to be a firefighter. I always wanted to
be a police officer, to be honest with you, I
did the whole military thing. I was actually a police
officer for a very short amount of time. And then
Johnny always said, take the test, take the test, and
I was like, you know, I'm happy where I'm at. Yeah,
but I took the test and I'm you know, got
the job and I never looked back. I'm so happy,
(04:17):
you know. To be a firefighter honestly doesn't feel like work.
It's just like my second.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Family in Oh wow.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
First Latino all in the truck and Lawrence all together,
four of us.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, Latina, I love it.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Latino. To get promoted in the fire department.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Okay, so you got promoted to be the captain or
who are you lieutenant?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Nice?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Nice, very good. Okay, So we got feeling stories for me.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
It's a little bit of two things. My cousin was
a Lawrence firefighter since like two thousand and one or so,
and ever since I was younger, he would always tell me, Hey,
when you turn eighteen, make sure you take the test.
Take the test. And I started my career in it
and I kind of just put it off, and you
would always tell me to take the test, take the test.
And in two and eight, two thousand and nine, my
family were a habitat for humanity family. So at the
(05:12):
time we were finishing a house on Market Street and
Lawrence when there was a big fire that took down
they say like half a city block or something along
those lines, was probably four or five buildings, and we
saw on the news how much they worked, and obviously
that affected us. So that kind of inspired me to
look a little more towards that career path. And then
(05:33):
when you know, when I was old enough and I
saw how much work they do and how much they
helped the community. It's not just fighting fires. That's something
that pushed me to take the test a little more.
And you know, I took the test twice and in
twenty sixteen, my time, My time came, so.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
And last but not least, No, I.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Don't have a deep story.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
They take it.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You know, before the fire department, I did something pretty different.
I was a musician, so I used to play music.
I was a piano player, and I traveled and it
came to a point I'm like, you know what, I
got to do some a little more stable then, you know,
a musician. So I was looking for something like a
career helping people. And I have a cousin that I
really look up to. He's also fire fighter, Lawrence named Rico,
(06:19):
and he's always told me to take the test. He's like, man,
you'll never look back. And I took the test. I
haven't looked back, and firefighting is everything on my check
Listen more. You know, I'm able to help people. I'm
able to go home every day feeling good. I got
many difference in the world.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
But what my audience doesn't know, and people be very
mindful of what I'm going to do. Right now, I'm
introducing the biggest firefighter part of the Station Aid group
in the team.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Today, we have somebody in the studios. James, you are
the oldest or the youngest fire fighter?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
The youngest?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah? How old are you? James? Sex? Sex? And what
do you think about wait? No, Angel?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Pretty much like the middle?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You're the middle. Who's the oldest.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Johnny?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh? Perfect? And what do you think about Station eight?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I'm pretty good?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah? Do you think to Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Do you want to be a firefighter when you grow up?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So that's who we have here, which is one of
our best guests so far.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I think you're the bravest so far. What do you think?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, tell me about how did Station eight come about?
I understand that it's the passion of educating and letting
people know in a very fun way, how to you know,
be safe? But who started it? Who had the idea?
I imagine the musician?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
So the station is definitely the four of us. We've
put a lot of work in in creating the project.
Station A was inspired and had James.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Had to do with it.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
When James was a baby, he was pretty difficult.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
He didn't sleep at night.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
What he cried a lot at night, all every hour
on the hour. And you know, I'm sure many parents
can relate to having a kid that doesn't sleep at night.
We tried everything and anything, and nothing worked. And then
one day I had this idea of grabbing my ukulele
and sitting by his crib and playing songs and writing
(08:26):
songs to him, which you know, some of those songs
that we haven't station ate now were songs that I
wrote when he was a baby.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Wow, wow, that's right.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And yeah, and it actually went, you know, it worked
until I had to go back to work.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And for those that don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Five letters. When we go to work, we're gone for
a long time. You know, we're going for twenty four
hours and more at a time. And that was a
problem because I met my wife was all by herself
with James all day crying.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And one day, you there, you so.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
One day my wife showed up at work and you
could tell she was very tired and James was crying.
And all the guys at work, I mean, they didn't
waste any time they grabbed James. They knew what was
going on. They were passing James around, taking turns, you know,
calming James down. He was going in the trucks, in
the gym, in the kitchen, all over the firehouse. And
(09:17):
what I didn't realize at the time was that this
was actually James's first experience at the firehouse. It wasn't
the fire trucks or the lights or the fire equipment.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
His family.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
It was a community, was family, and I know how
music made him feel. I know how the fire department
makes him feel. When he goes to the station. He
acts like it's his house, you know, he it's your house,
isn't it. Yeah, He'll go through the fridge and grabs
his snacks and send the reclined or turn on the
fire truck. So that's when the light bulb went off,
and it's like, wow, you know, kids love firefighters, kids
(09:48):
love music, and we com buying these things and we
can use this to educate kids and create nice life.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Can we do an a cappella improversation? It's how much
kid here with with James is not a kid?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I am the kid here and I want to learn
what you guys are doing, and I want to be
you know, safe at home, and I want to understand
for sure.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I wish I had We can try. Yeah, the once
was a fire trug resting in a baby talking, the
bells ring down, getting the fires up, went the door,
out went the fire trying to enter the call.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
We we fire trucks are coming there.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
We we we.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Are on the way.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's amazing. So can we like? Are you sharing these
at school? So are you going to different studios?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Orry?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Where where are you going with these amazing music we've been?
Speaker 5 (10:58):
It's actually like it was a little Sprouts was the
first pretty much place that called us. My kids go there,
and they had this whole thing like we're gonna have
like kind of like a career day or whatever. And
we never really thought about, hey, let's do live shows.
I was never like the intentions, but we're like, you
know what, let's just do it. Let's go for it.
And we whipped up like a little twenty thirty minute
(11:19):
show that we could do for kids that that's going
to teach them, you know about detectors, about the fire truck,
and you know how we get ready for calls. That's
why that song came about Jean's getting ready, which is
me getting ready in my gear and stuff. And we
did it and it was great. We've had teachers there
and like doctors and other people there that were watching
and they were like, we never thought that it was
(11:39):
going to be like this, Like we thought it was
just gonna be like stop dropping roll, but like we
couldn't never imagined that this show was going to be
like that. So that kind of was like, you know what,
let's just take this and run with it. And other
schools started calling us and you know, and that's what
we've been doing. So we've been doing shows. Schools and
calling us and we've been going and it's been they've
been loving it.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
So how a lot of it was just word of mouth,
like these schools, like you know, went Little Sprouts and
like the other little sprouts and hey, we.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Heard you guys did this. They heard they love it.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
And then it was the handover, and then there was
a school in Georgetown and then it was like just
it's just word of mouth, just getting around, like I
heard you guys did this, because like we're touching, we're
touching something that's completely different. Because a lot of the
because we used to do the fire prevention for the
fire department and we used to just go tell them,
don't do this, don't do that. But it's more for
like older kids like you know, yes and twelve years old,
(12:30):
and we tell them that you know you can't touch,
you know, check your smoke Detexas. But there's there's nothing
out there really for for young kids.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Like you know that.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Fine so our goodbye song, there's a portion of it
that you know, we sing in Spanish, okay, but not
we don't.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Have we haven't had any We need that in Spanish too.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You know how many kids speak Spanish.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
I was like, oh, we'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Most mine Yana, we'll see you tomorrow. Those Manyana, we'll
see you tomorrow. Those vos manyana will be right.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Bost sadacky bye. And that's how nice.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I wish I knew that because we could have ended
with that song, but I don't know anywhere people.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Not combine just just yet.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Like like I said, we started putting stuff up, how
do we end the show and stuff like that, and
like I said, there's stuff out there, and there's other
videos out there that like you know, you have other
YouTubers or like kids are entertainer that like they go
to the fire station and they do like a tour
of the fire station, but there's never firefighters actually doing it,
like we're actual for firefighters that are actually doing it.
(13:49):
So I feel like that's what stats us apart from
like everybody else.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
On top of that, there really isn't a lot of
representation for you know, people of color or a group
of you know, Latino firefighters that really do this. That's
a big part of it too. And you know most
of us, I mean me, I know, he was we
were born to raise in Lawrence, So that's that's that's
a big part of it, just to be able to
give back to our community and in the job and
then as well as in this side of things with
(14:14):
the with the station A stuff. And we actually have
some people that called us that they were jealous. They
were like, oh, why haven't you guys have been doing
more shows than Lawrence. And it's like, well, we haven't
really got the invitations yet, so.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh you're gonna need the Station nine, Station ten and
like up so you can actually take over ol Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
We're try.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
We really, you know, we say we want to establish
a universe almost like you know, like the Avengers.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So oh, well that is so cool.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
And I just want to add something. I know Johnny
mentioned it before, like you know, we in our own
regular jobs in the Lawrence Fire Department, we've done education.
But what makes station A so unique is that we're
making it accessible to everybody. You know, I'm not sure,
but you got to But when when you were a child,
how many like how often did firefighters go to your
school or did you talk.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
To Well, it's different.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I grew up in Mexico City, so while you call
nine one one, who knows when the firefighters going.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
To show up? It's a very different, different upbringing.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
But we did not get that when I was, you know, younger,
and that was like yesterday, so we didn't get the
fact that we could interact with first responders. When I
moved here, though, I learned so much about it, and
I wish our countries had that opportunity of bringing and
providing safety and knowledge and all these tools and resources that.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
You guys are doing.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
And that's why we created Kepasa Boston Kaesa like what's
available for us, so that the community has protectors like yourselves,
that you're not just caring about our safety at home
and with the fires, but you're actually like teaching our
children to be prepared. And that's the most important thing
(15:58):
because you're giving them the tools to survive, not just
you know, picking them up and saving them. And that's
what matters to me, especially as a mom too, right,
like we want our kids to be saved and to
know how to survive without us. And in this moment,
I would love to address the fact that somebody's dad
is here. No, there's no more chargo, the lot.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
In coolcado and.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Theo like machino or.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Is latino? Yeah you okay?
Speaker 5 (17:06):
And difficult pre ire.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Yeah you.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Mundo, yes, last present and.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Port and stah, the trust, the toss projectors.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I'm so happy and so pleased to hear that. It
means a lot. It just say Elvis, ye le star
and you ye.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Familiar at all to Bombero like a young when a
familiar an extended family on a familia magrande.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
So then.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You know eat I uh so. And when you go
to perform, how long is the performance? Is it forty minutes?
An hour? Two hours?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
It's about like thirty minutes. And the age group that
the big thing is, yeah, the age group.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And you're doing that as a volunteer service.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Here, So we don't we don't charge any money. We
just wait, we wait for the call and we go.
So this is just for any for any schools, or teachers.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
What's supporting you guys. You need to get some support.
We need to help you help us absolutely.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
If yeah, we're we're waiting for the call any school
were our age range are kids between the ages of
like two years old to like six years old. We
will love to go. We're just waiting for the phone call.
Will be there, We'll be We'll be there, We'll be ready.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
And the big part of that age group, Massachusetts is
one of the top states in the country for child
safety when it comes to fires and stuff like that.
We take we take it very seriously. So you know,
one of the biggest things is the younger kids that
are affected. And obviously this is this is why we
chose this specific age group. And you know, we were
blessed to be part of Massachusetts, you know, especially the
PFM and the firefighters of Massachusetts that take everything so seriously,
(19:26):
that take the child safety so seriously. And one thing
that we noticed again Nige said earlier, that we're all
we all went to the classes to the public fire
and life Saty safety educators. A lot of the material
and curriculum is from twenty thirty years ago, so you know,
it hasn't really changed. There really hasn't has been updated
and it works. But again, when you're sitting with you know,
(19:48):
twenty thirty kids who all have iPads and phones and
stuff like that, it's hard to keep their attention just
looking at a PowerPoint or just you know, looking up
stats or saying, you know, twenty percent of firefire fire
happen here and there.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
They're not going to get there.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
They need to be entertained. So that's a big part
of it too.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
But no, like like we were saying, I am going
to I actually have a couple of meetings with the
governor and with Mayou and I'm going to make sure
that they know about you guys. They need to know
Brian Lorrence is here aware of everything that you.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Guys are doing.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yes, yes, okay, Brian, you gotta do something here to
support these people, please, because we.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Need them and anything that we can do on our
end to support you, you know it.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
We we have our commitment is to bring this type
of resources and this type of execution to our community.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
We need to help each other.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Colos au Garlos Daro.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Biggest help right now is just following our social media,
just getting up pretty much helping us get out.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
There, Okay, which istube YouTube station ATV.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
You can look us up on Instagram, Facebook, Station A,
you'll find us on TikTok. And like I said, it's
just sharing our videos, sharing our message, reaching more kids.
That's that's pretty much like free. You know, that's the
easy the goal that we have. So just subscribing to
our YouTube.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Channel, watching station eight, station A TV one word station
eight with the number eight, with the number eight and
around station eight.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
You can write you can write down a you can
just put the number eight exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Thank you so much, James, because he's the marketing person, right,
You're the pr No.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
One thing is you're going to see a lot of
memes on there. It's just because those are fillers. Basically,
it takes a lot of time, you know, especially with
our long schedules, to make the episodes and stuff like that.
So in the meantime, you know, we got to keep
everybody engaged. We do have a lot of memes in
there and.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
So if you see some of that, that's not our forte,
that's not our main sources of entertainment. That's just something
there as a you know, just to keep people engaged.
And again, Instagram is well for the adults anyway.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Yeah, but YouTube, like I said, YouTubers are pretty much
our main thing. We're working right now. I'm doing like
full length episodes. So you know, in all our episodes
it's going to be towards you know, kids and stuff
and them learning some sort of lesson. So we'll start
with a lesson something there we want them to take
out of the video, and then you know, we go
from there. So our first video that we're working on
right now has to do a teamwork.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Oh thank you for that.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
So it's gonna be team where you're going to see Felix,
you know, trying to work at stuff and you know,
trying to get you know, something done, and you know,
Johnny's telling him, hey, you know, remember teamwork.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
You know it's better.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
You know, two is better than one and stuff. And
we created a song and everything for it, and we
can't wait for everybody to hear it. It's actually one
of our favorite songs. And like I said, there's just
stay tuned.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
And that's an interest. Sorry, just one thing is we
Also it's not just about fire and life safety. We're
also trying to teach like emotional regulation and stuff. Like that,
and oh that's so important like that, because again it's
it's it's all a part of it.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, when you're in chaos, yes, you don't know sometimes
how to regulate and get calm in order to take action.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
We got to give a big shout out to Annabel

Thank you,
Bostonone else ask good morning, Boston, how are you today?
I have very special guests as usual, Guadro Ombres, Cassie Ombre,
Gast Visitana. I'm so proud to have firefighters in the house,
but they're not just a regular typical firefighter.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I feel protected. I'm not intimidated by all these men here.
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
They besides saving lives and taking care of our community,
they have a special project Station eight and with you.
I'm gonna let them introduce themselves because I would be
doing a deservice at the service if I do it myself.
So can we start with everybody's name? Say hello to
our audience. Boston is here listening to all of you.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Hello Boston.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I'm Jean, Hey Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
My name is Felix, Hey Boston.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
My name is Iiggy.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I'm Johnny. Excellent, and you are Station A Excellent. What
is Station eight?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
So?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Station eight is a station that takes place in the
fictional world, and in that station are four five fitters,
which are Felix, Jean, Johnny and Niggy, And just like
real firefitters, we respond to these calls and we help
the public with these things and Our job is to
educate kids about fire safety, life safety, life lessons, teaching
(01:30):
them about real places, real people, and real things.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Amazing. So who is Station eight? Just the four of you?
Is there any anybody else involved?
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Nope, but it's just the four of us. And like
Iiggy said, our job is to teach kids, you know,
fire safety and all that. And there's a lot of
fire departments I already do that, they teach kids fire safety.
We have a fire prevention you know section in our
pretty much in our department. But our goal is to
pretty much like teach kids and make it in a
fun way so they can retain the information that we're
giving them, so they can retain all the lessons that
(02:03):
we want to give them, and make it fun. Like
I said, we use music and you know, we video
grab do videos and YouTube and all that stuff, so
kids can you know, find us out there and they
can reach everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Pretty much.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I would love to know how did all of you
get into firefighting because to me, that's so brave and
it's scary and it's a sacrifice, long hours. What does
that entail? Like I want to hear every single story
of all of you.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Well, I always want to be a firefighter since I
was probably like a kid like eight nine years old,
because we used to when I grew up in Lowell.
So we slip next to a fire station and I
remember I guess their moments. This day it was Christmas
and we lived in the third floor apartment and the
apartment next door caught fire, so I just I remember,
(02:56):
you know, you know, I remember to this day like
we were watching wrestling in the room and then everybody
starts screaming, get out, get out, get out, So you know,
we couldn't go to the front, and just full of smokes,
we headed out to the back and uh went across
and we went across the street, and then we just
saw the firefighters go to work.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
You know.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
It was just and from that day, like, you know,
I want to do that.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
How that that's so inspirational too, because you lived it,
so you know exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
What people are going through.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I have a very personal good friend of mine that
I love very much, Lose Mark, if you're listening, she
went through it. She she also had an experience where
her house burned and then she had to jump out
the window, and it was like a whole experience with
a brand new baby, her kids.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's just a lot, and she was impacted.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And if it hadn't been because of you guys, I
probably would not be telling the same story today, right,
and she would be in a very different place. So
thank you so much for what you do. How about
because next telling me the story, Johnny's.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Actually my older brother. Okay, so, but he pretty much,
you know, inspired me kind of like paved the way
for me to be a firefighter. I always wanted to
be a police officer, to be honest with you, I
did the whole military thing. I was actually a police
officer for a very short amount of time. And then
Johnny always said, take the test, take the test, and
I was like, you know, I'm happy where I'm at. Yeah,
but I took the test and I'm you know, got
the job and I never looked back. I'm so happy,
(04:17):
you know. To be a firefighter honestly doesn't feel like work.
It's just like my second.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Family in Oh wow.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
First Latino all in the truck and Lawrence all together,
four of us.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, Latina, I love it.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Latino. To get promoted in the fire department.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Okay, so you got promoted to be the captain or
who are you lieutenant?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Nice?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Nice, very good. Okay, So we got feeling stories for me.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
It's a little bit of two things. My cousin was
a Lawrence firefighter since like two thousand and one or so,
and ever since I was younger, he would always tell me, Hey,
when you turn eighteen, make sure you take the test.
Take the test. And I started my career in it
and I kind of just put it off, and you
would always tell me to take the test, take the test.
And in two and eight, two thousand and nine, my
family were a habitat for humanity family. So at the
(05:12):
time we were finishing a house on Market Street and
Lawrence when there was a big fire that took down
they say like half a city block or something along
those lines, was probably four or five buildings, and we
saw on the news how much they worked, and obviously
that affected us. So that kind of inspired me to
look a little more towards that career path. And then
(05:33):
when you know, when I was old enough and I
saw how much work they do and how much they
helped the community. It's not just fighting fires. That's something
that pushed me to take the test a little more.
And you know, I took the test twice and in
twenty sixteen, my time, My time came, so.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
And last but not least, No, I.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Don't have a deep story.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
They take it.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You know, before the fire department, I did something pretty different.
I was a musician, so I used to play music.
I was a piano player, and I traveled and it
came to a point I'm like, you know what, I
got to do some a little more stable then, you know,
a musician. So I was looking for something like a
career helping people. And I have a cousin that I
really look up to. He's also fire fighter, Lawrence named Rico,
(06:19):
and he's always told me to take the test. He's like, man,
you'll never look back. And I took the test. I
haven't looked back, and firefighting is everything on my check
Listen more. You know, I'm able to help people. I'm
able to go home every day feeling good. I got
many difference in the world.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
But what my audience doesn't know, and people be very
mindful of what I'm going to do. Right now, I'm
introducing the biggest firefighter part of the Station Aid group
in the team.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Today, we have somebody in the studios. James, you are
the oldest or the youngest fire fighter?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
The youngest?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah? How old are you? James? Sex? Sex? And what
do you think about wait? No, Angel?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Pretty much like the middle?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You're the middle. Who's the oldest.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Johnny?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh? Perfect? And what do you think about Station eight?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I'm pretty good?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah? Do you think to Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Do you want to be a firefighter when you grow up?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So that's who we have here, which is one of
our best guests so far.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I think you're the bravest so far. What do you think?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, tell me about how did Station eight come about?
I understand that it's the passion of educating and letting
people know in a very fun way, how to you know,
be safe? But who started it? Who had the idea?
I imagine the musician?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
So the station is definitely the four of us. We've
put a lot of work in in creating the project.
Station A was inspired and had James.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Had to do with it.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
When James was a baby, he was pretty difficult.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
He didn't sleep at night.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
What he cried a lot at night, all every hour
on the hour. And you know, I'm sure many parents
can relate to having a kid that doesn't sleep at night.
We tried everything and anything, and nothing worked. And then
one day I had this idea of grabbing my ukulele
and sitting by his crib and playing songs and writing
(08:26):
songs to him, which you know, some of those songs
that we haven't station ate now were songs that I
wrote when he was a baby.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Wow, wow, that's right.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And yeah, and it actually went, you know, it worked
until I had to go back to work.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And for those that don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Five letters. When we go to work, we're gone for
a long time. You know, we're going for twenty four
hours and more at a time. And that was a
problem because I met my wife was all by herself
with James all day crying.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And one day, you there, you so.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
One day my wife showed up at work and you
could tell she was very tired and James was crying.
And all the guys at work, I mean, they didn't
waste any time they grabbed James. They knew what was
going on. They were passing James around, taking turns, you know,
calming James down. He was going in the trucks, in
the gym, in the kitchen, all over the firehouse. And
(09:17):
what I didn't realize at the time was that this
was actually James's first experience at the firehouse. It wasn't
the fire trucks or the lights or the fire equipment.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
His family.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
It was a community, was family, and I know how
music made him feel. I know how the fire department
makes him feel. When he goes to the station. He
acts like it's his house, you know, he it's your house,
isn't it. Yeah, He'll go through the fridge and grabs
his snacks and send the reclined or turn on the
fire truck. So that's when the light bulb went off,
and it's like, wow, you know, kids love firefighters, kids
(09:48):
love music, and we com buying these things and we
can use this to educate kids and create nice life.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Can we do an a cappella improversation? It's how much
kid here with with James is not a kid?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I am the kid here and I want to learn
what you guys are doing, and I want to be
you know, safe at home, and I want to understand
for sure.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I wish I had We can try. Yeah, the once
was a fire trug resting in a baby talking, the
bells ring down, getting the fires up, went the door,
out went the fire trying to enter the call.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
We we fire trucks are coming there.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
We we we.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Are on the way.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's amazing. So can we like? Are you sharing these
at school? So are you going to different studios?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Orry?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Where where are you going with these amazing music we've been?
Speaker 5 (10:58):
It's actually like it was a little Sprouts was the
first pretty much place that called us. My kids go there,
and they had this whole thing like we're gonna have
like kind of like a career day or whatever. And
we never really thought about, hey, let's do live shows.
I was never like the intentions, but we're like, you
know what, let's just do it. Let's go for it.
And we whipped up like a little twenty thirty minute
(11:19):
show that we could do for kids that that's going
to teach them, you know about detectors, about the fire truck,
and you know how we get ready for calls. That's
why that song came about Jean's getting ready, which is
me getting ready in my gear and stuff. And we
did it and it was great. We've had teachers there
and like doctors and other people there that were watching
and they were like, we never thought that it was
(11:39):
going to be like this, Like we thought it was
just gonna be like stop dropping roll, but like we
couldn't never imagined that this show was going to be
like that. So that kind of was like, you know what,
let's just take this and run with it. And other
schools started calling us and you know, and that's what
we've been doing. So we've been doing shows. Schools and
calling us and we've been going and it's been they've
been loving it.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
So how a lot of it was just word of mouth,
like these schools, like you know, went Little Sprouts and
like the other little sprouts and hey, we.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Heard you guys did this. They heard they love it.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
And then it was the handover, and then there was
a school in Georgetown and then it was like just
it's just word of mouth, just getting around, like I
heard you guys did this, because like we're touching, we're
touching something that's completely different. Because a lot of the
because we used to do the fire prevention for the
fire department and we used to just go tell them,
don't do this, don't do that. But it's more for
like older kids like you know, yes and twelve years old,
(12:30):
and we tell them that you know you can't touch,
you know, check your smoke Detexas. But there's there's nothing
out there really for for young kids.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Like you know that.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Fine so our goodbye song, there's a portion of it
that you know, we sing in Spanish, okay, but not
we don't.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Have we haven't had any We need that in Spanish too.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You know how many kids speak Spanish.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
I was like, oh, we'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Most mine Yana, we'll see you tomorrow. Those Manyana, we'll
see you tomorrow. Those vos manyana will be right.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Bost sadacky bye. And that's how nice.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I wish I knew that because we could have ended
with that song, but I don't know anywhere people.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Not combine just just yet.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Like like I said, we started putting stuff up, how
do we end the show and stuff like that, and
like I said, there's stuff out there, and there's other
videos out there that like you know, you have other
YouTubers or like kids are entertainer that like they go
to the fire station and they do like a tour
of the fire station, but there's never firefighters actually doing it,
like we're actual for firefighters that are actually doing it.
(13:49):
So I feel like that's what stats us apart from
like everybody else.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
On top of that, there really isn't a lot of
representation for you know, people of color or a group
of you know, Latino firefighters that really do this. That's
a big part of it too. And you know most
of us, I mean me, I know, he was we
were born to raise in Lawrence, So that's that's that's
a big part of it, just to be able to
give back to our community and in the job and
then as well as in this side of things with
(14:14):
the with the station A stuff. And we actually have
some people that called us that they were jealous. They
were like, oh, why haven't you guys have been doing
more shows than Lawrence. And it's like, well, we haven't
really got the invitations yet, so.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh you're gonna need the Station nine, Station ten and
like up so you can actually take over ol Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
We're try.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
We really, you know, we say we want to establish
a universe almost like you know, like the Avengers.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So oh, well that is so cool.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
And I just want to add something. I know Johnny
mentioned it before, like you know, we in our own
regular jobs in the Lawrence Fire Department, we've done education.
But what makes station A so unique is that we're
making it accessible to everybody. You know, I'm not sure,
but you got to But when when you were a child,
how many like how often did firefighters go to your
school or did you talk.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
To Well, it's different.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I grew up in Mexico City, so while you call
nine one one, who knows when the firefighters going.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
To show up? It's a very different, different upbringing.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
But we did not get that when I was, you know, younger,
and that was like yesterday, so we didn't get the
fact that we could interact with first responders. When I
moved here, though, I learned so much about it, and
I wish our countries had that opportunity of bringing and
providing safety and knowledge and all these tools and resources that.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
You guys are doing.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
And that's why we created Kepasa Boston Kaesa like what's
available for us, so that the community has protectors like yourselves,
that you're not just caring about our safety at home
and with the fires, but you're actually like teaching our
children to be prepared. And that's the most important thing
(15:58):
because you're giving them the tools to survive, not just
you know, picking them up and saving them. And that's
what matters to me, especially as a mom too, right,
like we want our kids to be saved and to
know how to survive without us. And in this moment,
I would love to address the fact that somebody's dad
is here. No, there's no more chargo, the lot.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
In coolcado and.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Theo like machino or.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Is latino? Yeah you okay?
Speaker 5 (17:06):
And difficult pre ire.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Yeah you.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Mundo, yes, last present and.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Port and stah, the trust, the toss projectors.
Speaker 2 (17:41):

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Familiar at all to Bombero like a young when a
familiar an extended family on a familia magrande.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
So then.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You know eat I uh so. And when you go
to perform, how long is the performance? Is it forty minutes?
An hour? Two hours?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
It's about like thirty minutes. And the age group that
the big thing is, yeah, the age group.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And you're doing that as a volunteer service.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
And the big part of that age group, Massachusetts is
one of the top states in the country for child
safety when it comes to fires and stuff like that.
We take we take it very seriously. So you know,
one of the biggest things is the younger kids that
are affected. And obviously this is this is why we
chose this specific age group. And you know, we were
blessed to be part of Massachusetts, you know, especially the
PFM and the firefighters of Massachusetts that take everything so seriously,
(19:26):
that take the child safety so seriously. And one thing
that we noticed again Nige said earlier, that we're all
we all went to the classes to the public fire
and life Saty safety educators. A lot of the material
and curriculum is from twenty thirty years ago, so you know,
it hasn't really changed. There really hasn't has been updated
and it works. But again, when you're sitting with you know,
(19:48):
twenty thirty kids who all have iPads and phones and
stuff like that, it's hard to keep their attention just
looking at a PowerPoint or just you know, looking up
stats or saying, you know, twenty percent of firefire fire
happen here and there.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
They're not going to get there.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
They need to be entertained. So that's a big part
of it too.

Thank you so much, James, because he's the marketing person, right,
You're the pr No.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
One thing is you're going to see a lot of
memes on there. It's just because those are fillers. Basically,
it takes a lot of time, you know, especially with
our long schedules, to make the episodes and stuff like that.
So in the meantime, you know, we got to keep
everybody engaged. We do have a lot of memes in
there and.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
So if you see some of that, that's not our forte,
that's not our main sources of entertainment. That's just something
there as a you know, just to keep people engaged.
And again, Instagram is well for the adults anyway.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Yeah, but YouTube, like I said, YouTubers are pretty much
our main thing. We're working right now. I'm doing like
full length episodes. So you know, in all our episodes
it's going to be towards you know, kids and stuff
and them learning some sort of lesson. So we'll start
with a lesson something there we want them to take
out of the video, and then you know, we go
from there. So our first video that we're working on
right now has to do a teamwork.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Oh thank you for that.

can't wait for everybody to hear it. It's actually one
of our favorite songs. And like I said, there's just
stay tuned.

Also it's not just about fire and life safety. We're
also trying to teach like emotional regulation and stuff. Like that,
and oh that's so important like that, because again it's
it's it's all a part of it.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, when you're in chaos, yes, you don't know sometimes
how to regulate and get calm in order to take action.
