WASHINGTON, July 22 (TNSper) -- The International Association of Fire Fighters issued the following news:
Union leader and Kent, WA Local 1747 member Terry McCartin, 62, is hanging up his turnout gear after more than 43 years on the job.
Because McCartin grew up along a major fire department response route in Bellingham, Washington, he watched fire apparatus pass his home every day. "That was all it took for me. I never wanted to do anything else," he said.
