Cody Fisher is a new recruit at the Knox Volunteer Fire Company. He heard his friends talk about what it’s like in the volunteer fire service, about it how much fun it is, how they get to help other people out. Cory decided he would join and learn to be of help to other people. Cody believes it will change his life in the long run.
If you’re thinking of joining the fire service Cody would tell you. “Just go out and do it. Just put your mind to it, don’t second-guess yourself, just do it.”
