Meet Ryan Nicholson! He's the Fire Chief at the Watertown Fire Department. We chat about his Watertown roots, then his journey from early experiences on ambulances all the way up to fire chief with stops as training officer, fire inspector, deputy chief, and more along the way. Listen to hear about:
- What firefighters do when they're not dealing with emergencies
- The procedures they follow to deal with 7,500 emergency calls a year
- The recent shifts in firefighter culture
- Ryan's goals for the future of the department
