In this powerful episode of Beyond the Safety Net, we sit down with Cobb County Fire Captain Dan Lohman to trace his remarkable 15-year journey—from killing bugs in South Florida to saving lives in Georgia. Captain Lohman shares what it really takes to be a firefighter today, from grueling training to life-saving teamwork on the front lines. Hear how a dramatic house fire with a trapped victim reshaped his philosophy on leadership and purpose. You’ll also get a glimpse into his family life, triathlon feats, and how parenting skincare-obsessed teens compares to commanding a fire scene.
