Fire Marshal & Commander, Fire Prevention Division

by INSP Daniel A. Onyskin
(Ypsilanti, Michigan USA)

It was long ago and not for wanting to help people, but I saw and met men and women who worked together as a team for a common cause.

Driving big fire trucks, responding to a call for help or the dazzling red lights, I was always amazed by these people who cared for others.

Long before I became a fire fighter, I was a police officer and I never received any satisfaction on the job as I do now. And now more than ever as a Fire Marshal, I am glad and proud to say I am finally one of them.

I wanted to be a firefighter because it was what I wanted to be, period!
