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
Battalion Chief Derrick Anthony
Derrick Anthony joins us to discuss his 30+ year fire service career. Throughout his time in MCFRS, Derrick was involved in many things, including teaching at the training academy, helping with the Critical Incident Stress Management Team, being the In-Service Training Coordinator at the training academy, helping the department acquire accreditation, and more.
Once he retired, he continued working in a variety of jobs, being very thankful for the skills he acquired working for the fire department, and savoring the memories he had riding the fire trucks and serving the citizens of Montgomery County.
