I've been chasing fires with my grandfather since I was two. When he died, I had a great emptyness. My uncle became a fireman, then a chief. Being a fireman is the only thing I ever wanted, and I feel honored that this life has chosen me. The brotherhood, while not what the old volunteers had, is still strong today. It needs some infusion of life, but its still strong. We on black shift have this life, and we have each others back. I LOVE THIS JOB, and my brothers. Be safe, ALL IN ALL OUT
