In 1998, Joel Kanasky walked into the quarters of FDNY Rescue 1 in Manhattan for the first time. What awaited him was a roster of legends and one simple rule from the late Captain Terry Hatton (EOW: 9/11/01): Treat every victim like your mother or grandmother. 16 years later, he left a highly respected senior man.
In the near two decades he spent in one of the premier fire companies on the planet, what did his elevation to a senior man teach him about mentorship and what did he enjoy most about mentorship? He answers here.
I so enjoyed finally getting to interview Joel for a splendid Volume 63 of The Best of The Bravest: Interviews with The FDNY’s Elite.
Outro Song: U2 – Walk On (2000)
