About The Bay Floor

"In many firehouses, the apparatus bay floor has traditionally been a place where firefighters hang out, talk shop, train, and take care of their rigs and tools.

We have designed this community to be an alternative to the ridiculousness and unproductive traditional social media."

Nick Martin, President/Founder of Combat Ready Fire Training
