WAKEFIELD, The Bronx (WABC) – FDNY Battalion Chief Jim McGlynn has heard the wail of a fire siren over the past 34 years. As he heads out on another call, this is one of his last tours before he retires.
“This job takes you in. It molds you. It makes you into something you weren’t. And you are very lucky,” he said.
McGlynn and three other chiefs in Battalion 15 in Wakefield, the Bronx oversee four fire houses, seven companies and a total of 175 firefighters. MORE
