The Fire Fighter I choose to interview for my term project is Andrew Huizinga I picked him because I work at Fitness 19 and we’ve talked about me becoming a fire fighter and he has given me a lot of advice on what to do.

The last question I asked him from the seconded set of questions was “What are some of the important traits a firefighter must possess?” and he told me that integrity is a big part because you’re going into random people’s houses and you got to be trusted to not take anything. Andrew also said physical fitness is also important because your carrying 45 pounds on your back and if your partner goes down you’ve got to be able to carry him out of a burning
