	Description:		If you're a firefighter and you are a regular user of major social media sites, then you are probably familiar with our guest, Capt. John Dixon, aka "Instructor John Dixon." (@InstructorJohnDixon on Twitter) Capt. Dixon started as a volunteer as a teen. Subsequently, he joined the Marines and proudly served our country. While there, he learned numerous core values, such as honor, discipline, pride, etc. that are also key elements of every successful fire department, be it career, volunteer or paid-on-call. Taking those experiences, he returned to the fire service and has been there ever since. Early on in this career, Capt. Dixon saw the value of both learning as much as possible and then sharing that knowledge with as many firefighters as he could find who shared that "hunger." In this interview, Capt. Dixon shares that background with us and then, we discuss several of the "hot topics" that the fire service faces today. Well-learned and well-respected, Capt. Dixon travels around the country teaching at all levels, from single department interests to national conclaves, such as FDIC, Firehouse Expo and many more. As the saying goes, "Listen and Learn!"
