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
17 - Lieutenant Alex Aquino
Alex Aquino has always had a heart yearning for adventure, and all of his immediate family members were the same. So it was no surprise (kind of) that he ended up in the fire department.
After an almost 30-year career, all of his adventures, both on the job and off, caught up to him physically. It was his desire to continue having adventures with his family that led him to hang up his turn out gear.
