Volunteer firefighters Thomas Brodoski III, James “Jim” Fessler and David Myers all grew up at Norriton Fire Engine Company with their dads and other family members volunteering there. When Brodoski, Fessler and Myers turned 16, they all joined Norriton’s junior program to help their community and continue their family legacy.
Fessler, now 30, was inspired by his grandfather and father who both volunteered at Norriton and wanted to honor the tradition. “Volunteering was the best way I could think of to give back to the community,” he said.
At Norriton Fire Engine Company, firefighters always have each other’s backs to keep everyone safe. Brodoski, 23, wanted to make sure he had his father’s back when joining.
