Second chances : County Fire employs former inmates for new Endeavor crew
Victorville Daily Press
Haroon Hasmain said he wanted to be a firefighter ever since kindergarten, when he saw a Stop, Drop and Roll video, but subsequent events delayed that goal.
“I had a lot of potential growing up, and I had a lot of hope for the future, and just things that ended up happening in my life led me down a completely different path, unfortunately,” he said.
But now, that aspiration has become a reality.
Hasmain is one of nine former inmates hired earlier this month by the San Bernardino County Fire Department. He is now a member of the newly formed Endeavor Hand Crew.
