When I was young, like every other kid, I admired the firefighters and thought they were heroes dressed in fire gear.
My brothers and I were fascinated by these professionals, and we looked up to them.
At some point in my life, I wanted to become a firefighter. With all these crazes about firefighters, I never visited a fire station. When I grew up I became an HVAC professional and got a job with one of the best HVAC businesses in the country. The love, admiration, and appreciation for firefighters came back last winter when I visited the fire station for the first time. We received a call from the fire captain. He requested an HVAC repairman’s services as the station’s HVAC unit had malfunctioned. Firefighters need to work in a comfortable environment because they work long hours and do hazardous jobs. The HVAC system at the station was new, as the HVAC installation occurred about five years ago. The captain had done a splendid job of keeping up with the required HVAC maintenance requirement, but like any machine, it suddenly malfunctioned. When we arrived at the station, it was everything I had imagined, clean and organized, and there was a slide-down pole. To help with indoor comfort, we did the repairs that included replacing several worn-out components. We also had the HVAC provider deliver new HVAC equipment, including a programmable thermostat and a dozen filters. The entire quality HVAC equipment was from the same HVAC brand. We fixed the quality HVAC unit within a few hours, and when we finished, the captain was fantastic enough to take us on a station tour. I felt like a child in Disneyland for the first
