Alex Aquino has always had a heart yearning for adventure, and all of his immediate family members were the same.  So it was no surprise (kind of) that he ended up in the fire department.

After an almost 30-year career, all of his adventures, both on the job and off, caught up to him physically.  It was his desire to continue having adventures with his family that led him to hang up his turn out gear.
