Lance Thrower
Hosted by Nomad firefighter · EN
Hi I am Lance Thrower. I am a firefighter and an engineer. I design and build prototype wild land fire trucks and buggies out of parts we find anywhere. With a strong leaning into robotics and Ai in combating fires. Our mission is to travel to Fire Departments in Latin America. We learn how they handle urban firefighting and my specialty, wild land forestry. And we see where we can help their department too. May this show be a recruiting tool for potential men and women interested in being a first responder in Latin American. And our stories abroad doing what we love the most.
