We are joined by LAFD legend, our dad, Benny Gonzalez. A 32 year veteran of the fire service, he breaks down how he wound up in LAFD instead of the Vietnam war, what the drill tower was like in the 70's, life in Downtown LA before gentrification, firefighting & living in the actual 1984 Olympic village, diversity posters, dangerous fire engine driving, & more. We also get a full breakdown of the famous Naval Reserve building fire which is now the LAFD headquarters named after the firefighter who died there, as well as a breakdown of the First Interstate fire, the most famous high rise fire in LA history, PLUS a firsthand account of the LA riots in 92. BUT THERE'S MORE, he also breaks down how he rescued Michael Jackson when he burned his hair filming a Pepsi ad. This episode is full of LAFD history that few discuss. Also, who is his favorite?
