Key moments from the Inside Leesburg 150th episode
Summary
Highlights from the episode include the department's volunteer origins, the shift to ambulance and ALS services, technology upgrades, and a logbook finding about Chief Ned Stevens's death; the episode previews a follow-up conversation with Deputy Chief Ryan Henry.
Inside Leesburg's special episode on the Leesburg Fire Department produced several concise moments useful for sharing: Chief Mirra's description of the original bucket brigade; his summary that "Time is our enemy" when discussing early communications; recollections of running ambulance service in the 1970s and 1980s; and the discovery of a logbook entry recording Chief Ned Stevens's death in an early-1900s fire.
Representative short quotes that stand out for social sharing include Mirra's line about early notification: "Time is our enemy," and his summation of departmental culture: "service over self." The episode also previews a later interview with Deputy Chief Ryan Henry to discuss current initiatives and the department's future direction.
