Reflections on a Life in the Trades

David was a career fireman for the City of Seattle. In the fall of 2021, he and approximately 70 of his colleagues were suspended from duty and ultimately fired or forced to resign (in lieu of termination) for refusing the City's COVID-19 shot mandate. Even though the 'mandate' was lifted in Feb of 2023, they have not returned them to duty. At the time of his termination, he was one month shy of 22 years, and the senior driver of Ladder Company 5.
