Meet our Members: Firefighter Bob Mitchell
This week on "Meet our Members", we interview Firefighter Bob Mitchell.
Was there a specific event or reason for you to be interested in becoming a firefighter?
My grandfather and uncle were volunteer firefighters in my hometown of Twillingate in Newfoundland. When I was a kid I spent a lot of time around the fire station so I guess it grew on me.
Tell us a bit about your family
I have been married to my beautiful wife Renee for 17 years and we have two sons. Hayden is 16 and Jackson is 14.
What is your regular “Day Job”
I am a member of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Tell us about your passion in life.
I like to think that I have a passion for helping people, which is why I enjoy being a volunteer firefighter.
Tell us about the most amazing thing you have experienced so far in life.
The birth of my children has to be the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. I don’t think anything is going to top that.
