 My name is Mark Serrano. I'm the captain of Station 19 MCRD. One of the biggest misconceptions is that we spend a lot of time wasted. That a lot of our job here at the station is just stand by, wait, watch television. That's completely not true. Our guys are educated, they're smart. They spend a lot of good time training on their own personal time. You know, if you look to your right right here, this is a fire truck. But at the end of the day, it's a big toolbox. You know, so with all these tools, depending on the situation, we have to know how to use these tools. We know how to adapt these tools and we need to manipulate these tools. So with that comes maintenance, comes tools for familiarization. And also, you know, all the stuff that we have to check. So that could take hours and hours and hours of work. So there is really no time to kind of just sit around and watch TV. Day to day is you come in, you check out the vehicle you're on. So if I'm on the ambulance, I check out all my gear on the ambulance and make sure that I have all the equipment I need and that the ambulance is running properly. If you're on the engine, you check out all the engine equipment. And then we always have training scheduled. So every day you have a certain amount of time where you're training. You're either doing firefighter stuff or you're doing basic life support or advanced life support training. I think the most critical part of the day is the morning. What I'm doing right now, and that's going through your gear. You know, we have a lot of equipment. We have a lot of tools. And so you got to make sure that they're all there. So when we get that call, it's exactly where we need it to be. So we do 48 on and then we do a 72 off. So it just becomes like an extension of your own family except now you have another family at work. I like that there's new challenges every day. That I get to see, meet new people. It's an excitement and there's a passion and I love it. I kind of like that protecting those who defend America. You know, it's nice to give back to the community. I did 12 years in the Marine Corps and so to give back feels really good. Our military goes out and they risk their life so that we can have freedom in America. And my job is to protect those men and women that are protecting our country and keeping us safe and keeping us a free country.
