We have LA County Firefighter/Paramedic Mike Anderson with us this week. Mike is the only Firefighter to appear on 2 different firefighter reality tv series, as a member of 2 different fire departments. Nearly 2 decades ago as a member of the Compton FD Mike appeared on BET's "First In". Then, after 15 years with Compton, Mike joins the LA County Fire Department & winds up being featured on NBC's "LA Fire & Rescue" produced by none other than Dick Wolf (dun dun). Mike tells was what its like to leave a small department from an "infamous"city to the biggest Fire Department in the west. What was it like to do 2 different drill towers, to get recognized in other states as the guy from that show, & what its like working a first in district in Ben's current neighborhood. Mike is really funny and shows us how taking a risk can pay off.
