We sit down with one of the strongest ladies we've ever met. Melanie had to endure a very difficult situation of losing her husband Brad Clark as a LODD on October 11, 2018.

Since this tragedy she has fought vehemently to ensure there are more strict move over laws.

She was instrumental in getting Brad on a license plate for Virginia, which is now on thousands of cars.

Please listen and learn from her story.

Thank you Melanie, we appreciate you, your strength, and your love for Brad and the fire service.
