Jeremy Donch is a 45-year volunteer firefighter, entrepreneur, and host of National Fire Radio. When he hit age 40, he was feeling burned out and decided it was time to pursue something just for him. This planted the seed that eventually became National Fire Radio.

It started with a podcast to bridge the gap between young and old firefighters and share stories and experiences. After seeing something unique on one of his fire engines, he decided to document it and found a new niche in sharing apparatus innovations. Since then, he has partnered with many companies to create content, hosted conferences and roundtables, and organized fundraisers for fallen firefighters. Jeremy is passionate about the fire service and working hard to make sure that National Fire Radio is a household name within the American Fire Service.

In just 5 years, National Fire Radio has grown to be one of the most recognizable brands in the fire space, and he’s only just begun.
