Philadelphia Fire Academy cadet to become third-generation firefighter
WPVI
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) The 94 cadets on the verge of becoming Philadelphia firefighters have accomplished what no other class before them has. This class started on March 16 of this year, which was at the very start of the pandemic, said Lt. Daniel Roache.
Each of the cadets, including John Taylor, has their reasons for choosing this year and this career. My father was one of the hardest working guys I ve ever met in my life, so was my grandfather, and they instilled a lot of great values in me, said Taylor, who will be a third-generation firefighter.
