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?

Greg Edwards grew up with his dad being a firefighter in the Washington DC Fire Department and a cousin being a volunteer firefighter, so Greg grew up with the fire service all around him. After graduating college, the fire service finally won him over and he was hired with Montgomery County. He spent some time assigned to Bethesda fire houses and Rockville station 3 until he transferred down to Takoma Park, where he fell in love with the fast pace of the first battalion. After promoting to Master Firefighter, Greg eventually settled at Silver Spring station 1, where he worked for many years. Greg retired a couple years after the COVID 19 pandemic, and he is currently enjoying the retired life.
He can be found on Facebook, or at gfiremane@hotmail.com
