A family tradition.

Uh, his grandmother and, uh, h- his, uh, maternal grandfather and grandmother were both in the fire service, uh, up in Maryland.

And, uh, I got the opportunity to meet the grandmother.

She's down here, uh, or lives here actually, in Burlington.

And got to meet her and, and clearly Andrew, uh, picked this up from his family.

And, uh, you know, we refer to the fire service as a family, but also every member's family is in the fire service.

Um, you can't help it because it's, it's such a big team feel, and, uh, they're definitely, you know, feeling that they're part of, uh, of our bigger family right now.

How do you go about healing after a loss like this, Chief Soldas?
