15 years of combination experience. Unknown to him until later 2nd generation Firefighter. At the age of 10 a grass fire accidentally started in front of his home. While his mother called 911 Nick filled up a bucket with water and extinguished the fire prior to the Fire Department’s arrival. He took a picture afterwards with one of the Firefighters who later on in life became the Chief of the volunteer organization he joined. That same Chief saw the potential in Nick and one day laid down an application for Wilmington Fire and told him there’s opportunity for growth and pushed him to apply. After getting on Nick’s mindset never changed. Every time your on shift is a day to learn and experience something new. How Nick view’s the fire service is how all should strive to achieve.
