25 years of combination experience. A Lieutenant with San Antonio Fire Department on Engine 4. Rich always had the notion he wanted to be a Firefighter. Pre backdraft the long coat, hip boots and jeans were always etched in his mind. When the time came for Rich to apply he had to go up against thousands. But with hard work and studying Rich’s dreams came true. I absolutely loved the conversation between Rich and I on this interview. One of the takeaways if you’re a Company Officer is you best believe others are watching everything you do. You can’t just talk about it you have to be about it.
