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
#5 - Battalion Chief Tony Coleman
We speak with retired Battalion Chief Tony Coleman about his career with MCFRS. Tony shares with us about his upbringing as a native Montgomery County kid, what drew him into the fire service, his career spanning several decades leading to his final rank of battalion chief, and how he approaches life on the retired side of the fire service.
Tony shares some great information about things he learned as the chief in charge of FROMS (Fire Rescue Occupational Medical Section) and how those lessons continue to serve him well in retirement.
