31 years of career experience. 2nd generation Firefighter. A Battalion Chief in the 4th Battalion on B Shift for the City Of Detroit. As a young child Dave watched how his father treated and respected all aspects of the fire service. Unfortunately due to the nature of the job Dave’s father passed. But during those times he was also able to witness first hand the true side of brotherhood of the fire service. Dave knew on the inside he wanted to become a Detroit Firefighter. Dave’s experience’s with Detroit is truly one of a kind. One of his viewpoints is how Firefighters should get out of their own bubble and experience training outside the confines of your own organization. If you know nothing about Detroit I implore you to do your research and see what the men and women have been through and how they continue to persevere with pride day in and day out.
