From volunteering at the Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Department to getting hired by Montgomery County Fire and Rescue, working his way up to be the primary driver of Truck 25, retiring because of various injuries, and having to deal with some mental health struggles, retired Master Firefighter Eric Fessenden's story is incredibly powerful.  He holds nothing back as he shares about the dark place he found himself in after retiring, and he has since become a strong advocate for firefighter's seeking peer support if they are ever in need because of trauma incurred on the job or life difficulties faced off the job.
