Retired Chief John Tippett joins us to talk about his career...how he started out as a volunteer firefighter and the became a career firefighter not too long after.
Chief Tippett worked many years for the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service, ultimately retiring as a battalion chief. However, his career did not stop there. After retiring from MCFRS, he was hired by the Charleston Fire Department as a deputy chief. This was not long after the tragic Sopa Super Store fire that resulted in the line of duty deaths of nine of Charleston's bravest.
Hear how Chief Tippett helped the Charleston FD rebuild after such a terrible tragedy, and what he started doing after retiring from Charleston.
