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
23 - Captain Stacey Jones
Stacey Jones never had any ambition to join the fire service when he was young, but through various twists and turns of life, he found himself joining the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service as a member of Recruit Class 6. Along the way, Stacey never had any formal mentors to teach him about the fire service, and at times he struggled. But he ultimately forged his own path and ended up retiring as a Captain and as an EMS duty officer.
Stacey shares with us the importance of mentorship in the fire service and how it is desperately needed for anyone who seeks to have a full and fulfilling career.
