One of my guests from season 1, Chief Bruce DeArk, passed away recently from cancer. His battle was inspiring, and Bruce gave it all he had. Ever since his funeral, he has been on my mind. He was a great guy and a great firefighter. He fought bravely and tried to inform as many firefighters as he could of the perils of our job when it comes to cancer. After he passed, I had a friend who decided to do his first colonoscopy because of Bruce’s battle. So, I thought I would re-release this podcast in hopes of new listeners finding it and hearing, in his own words, about his battle with cancer. Please get annual physicals, wear your SCBA during overhaul, wash your gear and wash your self after a fire start getting a colonoscopy at 40 and encourage other brothers and sisters to do the same. Let’s do it for Bruce. Please listen, like, subscribe and share this episode. Let’s let Bruce’s message be heard by as many firefighters as we can. A firefighter’s blood isn’t free….it costs dearly…it’s our job to make sure we don’t keep dying for the same reason
