It's Firefighter Friday! Today we have Lt. Kirke Phillips. Kirke started in 2008 as a career staff DPO. We have 2 pictures of Kirke today as he has a great one of him in his mask. I've included another as well because we want you to know the faces of LFD! Please give Kirke a big shout out today! Now some questions:
1. *What’s the best thing about being a firefighter at LFD? The future of the department and the City. It’s a cool time to work here and watch all of the activity.
2. What’s the funniest thing that has happened at your job? Genuinely funny things happen every day. It would be hard to narrow it down to the single funniest thing.
3. What’s your favorite food? Chicken Fried Steak.
4. What’s something about you citizens might find unusual or interesting? I listen to really heavy “death metal” music really loud, and I always look mad or intimidating. But I’m actually very nice, rarely serious, and thoroughly enjoy working a job where service to the community is the organizational tenet.
5. If you could recommend one place for people to go on vacation where would it be and why? Minnesota! It is a beautiful state and the folks are all very unique and unassuming. The summers are great time to beat the Texas heat and be outdoors without bursting into flame. The winters are crazy if you’re a life-long Texan. “Cold” doesn’t even begin to describe it.
6. Who is your role model and why? My mom and dad. They have always provided a constant positive example and encouraged me to do the things that make me happy. They have also been remarkably patient and understanding when I have made mistakes.
7. What would I find in your refrigerator right now? Lots of coffee creamer (my wife and I both work shift work).
8. If Hollywood made a movie about your life, whom would you like to see play the lead role? Nick Offerman
9. Pepsi or Coke? Big Red
10. If you could invite 3 famous people to dinner, who would they be? George Washington, Gar Wood, and Jimi Hendrix.
