Battalion Chief Jim Resnick is our guest on the podcast as we return from a prolonged break.
Jim grew up in Bethesda and, like many of our guests, got exposed to the fire department at an early age. After seeing many severe car accidents near the intersection by his house as a child, he vowed to be able to do more to help once he got older. As a teenager, he joined the Bethesda Chevy Chase Rescue Squad where he volunteered for many years until he was hired by the Cabin John Fire Department as a full-time firefighter. From there, he rose through the ranks, making it all the way up to battalion chief until his retirement 28 years later.
Jim still serves with the MCFRS as a civilian contractor, doing fire safety initiatives for the elderly.
