Meet our Members: Firefighter Gino Tang
This week on "Meet our Members", we interview Firefighter Gino Tang.
Was there a specific event or reason for you to be interested in becoming a firefighter?
I was working in marketing and kept feeling like I had more to offer to the world. I happened to watch the movie “Only The Brave” and instantly knew what I wanted to do!
Tell us a bit about your family
I am the oldest of 3 in my family, I have a younger sister and brother who both live in Calgary. I now live in Comox with my girlfriend, Linley, and our two cats Kitten and Nyla.
What is your regular “Day Job”
I work as a firefighter at CFB Comox.
Tell us about your passion in life.
In my time off from firefighting, I like to go mountain biking, skiing, and camping in my van!
Tell us about the most amazing thing you have experienced so far in life.
I would say good friendships! I have met so many amazing people who are always willing to lend a hand and have your back. I believe these relationships are invaluable and love all of the amazing things I get to do with friends.
Do you have any fire service goals?
I would like to continue to expand my skill set and learn as much as I can in order to protect my community to the best of my ability.
“Thank you for joining our team Gino.” says Comox Fire Rescue Chief Gord Schreiner. "Great people make for a great organization, and we look forward to working and training with you Gino."
