I wanted to do a show that highlighted people who work in Janesville's Police and Fire departments. Thank you to both departments for making it so easy!
John McManus and I have talked in the past and I was glad that John was going to be able to join me on Discover Janesville. John was going to be on duty that day but I had little idea of what that actually meant until in the middle of our conversation.
John told me about what it's like being a fireman. He talked about having the trust that our firemen receive. And he talked about the excitement of having to be a constant learner because there's so much that our fairly small fire department is asked to do.
And then a man walked in with chest pains, and John got up and basically saved the man's life. A few minutes later he came back and we continued our conversation. It was incredible and almost ordinary all at the same time.
Thank you John, and thank you to our firefighters who save us from fires but really do so much more than that.
