"WORDS FROM THE WISE": The voice of a firefighter with decades of experience.
Chief John Reagan began his career in the fire service at a time when most firefighters were called leather lungs or smoke eaters. He worked at a time of great change for the fire service.
Despite advances in fire tech, SOPs, apparatus, etc., the job remains the same. It takes a special person to run into danger while others are running out.
Chief John Reagan is one of those individuals .
Now retired, Chief John Reagan shares his stories, experience, and wisdom about firefighting.
