Ep 106 The Right Hand Man, w/ Kevin Roche

Many years ago, I met Kevin Roche as we moved through the halls of the PFD. As a new guy in the department, I had no idea who I was talking to and left feeling welcome and encouraged to be a member of this fine organization. Sometime later I came to know that he was the right-hand man to Fire Chief Alan Brunacini, which makes sense as he is studious, funny, smart and deeply committed the fire service. His contributions to the fire service are vast and his understanding of our contemporary challenges are well informed. In episode106 we talk about his journey into the service as a volunteer, his education at OSU, his landing in the Phoenix Fire department and so much more, please enjoy!
