It’s no secret that firefighters have a special relationship. They spend every other day together and rely on each other to have their backs. Two firefighters from West Licking Fire Department are proving that bond goes further than just the firehouse. One man needed a kidney, so another firefighter gave him one. Seth Coakley found out he had a rare kidney disease nearly 13 years ago and he struggled to talk about it. He didn’t want to ask for help so he didn’t. When his health took a turn for the worst he finally told the brothers at the fire house. Their quick response was overwhelming and it ultimately landed him the kidney he needed. “In our profession you hear about the brotherhood all of the time.” For Dan Alward, that brotherhood goes beyond a fire call.
