Words From The Wise

Tom Mann Season 3 Episode 1


"WORDS FROM THE WISE":  The voice of a firefighter with decades of experience.

Chief John Reagan began his career in the fire service at a time when most firefighters were called leather lungs or smoke eaters.  He worked at a time of great change for the fire service.
Despite advances in fire tech, SOPs, apparatus, etc., the job remains the same.  It takes a special person to run into danger while others are running out. 
Chief John Reagan is one of those individuals .

Now retired, Chief John Reagan shares his stories, experience, and wisdom about firefighting.
