Brandon and his brother, Blake, in Country’s bunker gear.

On episode three of After the Tone, Bee interviews Kim and Country’s oldest son, Brandon.
Brandon is now 35-years-old but visited his first firehouse at the age of nine. He speaks about the atmosphere of the firehouse and how it has always been an extension of their family.
“It was always so fun to get dressed up in the gear and climb the truck,” said Brandon.
Brandon talks about the “unconventional” family dynamic and how it was completely normal, or even a little better. Country taught him respect and work ethic as a child. Brandon sounds nothing but thankful for that. However, he is pretty sure that 20 years ago he was most likely mad at Country for making him take out the trash.
Come and join Bee as she reveals even more about this first responder family on After the Tone.

Kim and Country Weidler

Join Bee on episode two of After the Tone where she interviews Warren “Country” Weidler’s Wife, Kim.

Kim and Country have been together for a little over 25 years and she met him right here in College Station. Kim tells me that Country was a firefighter “hot shot” when they met. She speaks about the behind-the-scenes life of a first responder family. Raising three beautiful kids while one parent was gone for 24 hours every third day sounds scary, but for Kim it was normal.
