In these few minutes, recent fire academy graduate, Alex Brown, answers the following questions about why he decided to become a firefighter:
What made you go from being a D1 soccer player and recent college graduate to being a firefighter?
What inspired you to become a firefighter at Chattanooga Fire Department in Tennessee specifically?
What misconceptions did you have about being a firefighter that were not true after joining your department?
What would you say to other people our age who are considering a career in the fire service, but haven't made the jump yet?
Hopefully this information is helpful to Chiefs across the county when appealing to new recruits and for those who are considering a career in the fire service!
