Unless you joined the fire department 15 minutes ago, you have heard of Phoenix Chief Alan Brunacini. Odds are you have either read his work or heard his words... and have reacted to his thoughts.
While some firefighters may not realize it, Chief "Bruno" started on the tailboard-like some of you.... and was going to fires before some of our parents started fooling around. Due to his time on the job, he has A LOT of perspective. Crawled down halls? Been there. Stretched lines? Done that. Made some mistakes? Uh huh. But yet through it all, he has been able to consistently see things just a little different than so many others.
Join [email protected] Through The Smoke host Deputy Chief Billy Goldfeder and his guest, Phoenix Fire Chief Alan Brunacini for PART 1 of a cool discussion on where we have been...where we are...and where we are going....in the fire service....and a little bit more.....all from "Bruno's" perspective.
BILLY GOLDFEDER, EFO, who is a Firehouse contributing editor, has been a firefighter since 1973 and a chief officer since 1982.
