Manage episode 438254442 series 3566861
Sitting with me in the firehouse is James Hickman. James joined a volunteer fire department in North Carolina back in 1977. When he moved to New York in 1983, he joined the Floral Park Fire Department; starting in Reliance Engine Co. #2. After a couple of years James transferred to the Rescue Co. and has been there ever since. In 1993 James was hired with Firecom as Operator 48. He later moved over to the Fire Marshal Office and he is still there to this day! James started as a Fire Marshal in the General Inspection Division then transferred to the Hazmat Division. In 2001 he transferred to the Investigation Division where he has primarily been since then. James describes his overall experience with the Fire Service as "always being very good him." He says he has gained many friends from the very start that he is very proud and happy to say that he still has today. Family is the most important thing to James. Him and his wife are expecting their first grandchild this fall!
