Firefighting: Forging American Heroes
Much of American history has been well-preserved for generations thanks to fire safety, which has not only saved cities, but influenced the way they’re built. But what is it that inspires someone to risk their life against an inferno? Retired chief Paul Hashagan shares emotional stories about bravery and service in FDNY as we see how firefighters transformed from rabble rousers to public servants.
