This is Chuck. After 5 years of service at Engine 32 it is his last day at the firehouses. Chuck is retiring!!!!
He will now be spending his time being pampered in the loving home of one of our firefighters.
I wish Chuck a very long, very happy retirement.

This is Jimmy Johnson, 70.
Today, he saw his neighbor's home on fire, called 911, ran over, kicked down the door, ran upstairs, grabbed a man who was LITERALLY ON FIRE, carried him out, then used a blanket to put out the flames.
Some heroes wear capes.
Others are named Jimmy.
