Haven’t been able to back Decision Under Fire’s Kickstarter? Secure yourself some swag today! Help out a solid brother by rocking his brand at your next meeting or in your firehouse!

🔥 BRING THE HEAT. ROCK THE SWAG. HELP BUILD THE DREAM! 🔥

Decision Under Fire T-shirts and stickers are available now! Every purchase helps me keep this business moving forward while the games are being produced.

As a firefighter and instructor, I created Decision Under Fire to bring people together through Fire & EMS learning, teamwork, and fun. I’ve invested my own money into making it happen, and merchandise proceeds will help support advertising, business expenses, and getting the word out before the games arrive.

👕 T-shirts: $25 — sizes Medium–3X
🔥 Stickers: $5 each

📩 Want yours? DM me your size and what you’d like to order! I’ll confirm your total and send you a payment link.

Local delivery in the immediate area is available at no charge. Shipping is added for mailed orders, along with applicable tax and credit card fees.

Whether you buy a shirt, grab a sticker, or share this post, you’re helping a firefighter-owned small business grow. Thank you for being part of the Decision Under Fire journey! 🚒🔥

Our thought and prayers to The Des Moines Area Metro FOOLS on the loss of a member and brother, Firefighter/PM Chuck Jones. We were fortunate enough to spend some time with their members this past April in Indy. May God watch over Brother Jones’ family and keep his brothers and sisters safe!

Good morning brothers and sisters! As winter is going to be approaching soon and cabin fever sets in, we are wanting to gather ideas on getting everyone out of the house and together for classes!

Comment below on some speakers that you would love to have come to our area this winter! We will do everything in our power to bring some of these suggestions to Da Region!

Thanks in advance, stay safe!
