The 9 Guys You’ll Meet on Every Volunteer Fire Department

1) The Proud Legacy Guy

His dad either was on the department or still is. His grandfather was on the department. His great-grandfather was one of the founding members and is pictured on the department billboard helping to build the city’s first station with nothing but his bare hands and determination.
