This 24 hours at Station 17 starts with Battalion Chief Birkhimer overviewing his staffing with the use of software. We then drive with the Chief on his rounds around his Battalion and he stops in at Station 10 for a quick meeting. The Captain on the Truck explains how their cleaning and storage methods keep all the Bunker Gear free of pathogens. The Chief helps a citizen with his vehicle and we arrive at Headquarters for a Chiefs meeting. It's a great insight into department operations. Back at the station, we ride with the crew on Rescue 17.
