When The Smoke Clears
What happens to a firefighter after they've spent decades running into burning buildings and rescuing people from sickness, injury and death? When they walk away from the job, how have they changed? What lessons have they learned? What type of person have they become?
When The Smoke Clears
#3 - Captain Pedro Meneses Jr.
In this episode we speak with retired Captain Pedro Meneses Jr.. From coming to the United States from his home country of Nicaragua, to his eventually joining the fire department, Pedro shares about all of the twists and turns his life took to eventually lead him to the career that he fell in love with.
Pedro also shares about his leaving the fire department sooner than he thought he would, and the struggles that came along with that. Now "fully involved" in a successful real estate career, Pedro shares how he's trying to reconnect with the fire department in his own way and fully enjoy the next chapters of his life.
