Firefighter of the Week! Brett Horvath

Thank Goodness It's Firefighter Friday! It's a great way to brighten up a gray day. Today we have Firefighter Brett Horvath. Brett's picture was taken on a summer day, as you can probably tell, so perhaps it will remind you of a sunny day today. Brett works out of Station 1 on B-shift and has been with LFD since 2012. Now some questions:

1. *What made you want to be a firefighter?
I was introduced to the world of fire rescue from a friend.

2. *What’s the best thing about being a firefighter at LFD?
The opportunity to use skills that are extraordinary in a crew environment and to constantly be learning and building this skill set.

3. What’s the funniest thing that has happened at your job?
First shift, first call. Cat in a tree rescue. Seriously.

4. What are your hobbies?
Building stuff; and my kids activities.

5. If you could sing one song on American Idol, what would it be?
I sing Solo. SOW LOW, YOU CAN’T HEAR ME.

6. If you could recommend one place for people to go on vacation where would it be and why?
Go to a place where you will work hard serving others and play hard getting to know them and yourself. Why? Better memories than just relaxing somewhere. That’s just my opinion.

7. Who is your role model and why?
My Dad. He’s a great father, husband, friend and leader.

8. What would I find in your refrigerator right now?
Organic

9. If Hollywood made a movie about your life, whom would you like to see play the lead role?
Me. I could act.

10. Where would you go in a Time Machine?
Back to bed some days.

11. Pepsi or Coke?
Neither/ Kombucha

12. If you could invite 3 famous people to dinner, who would they be?
Honestly I would rather have pizza with good friends. I’ll let my wife invite the “Famous ones” and I’ll be nice.
