## Resource

On this episode of Multiple Calls, host Scott Hewlett speaks with Phil Montgomery, a captain with Central York Fire Services, about how his career came to be. Montgomery describes how the disciplined life of growing up on a small farm shaped his life. He highlights how being on a competitive swim team with a tough coach set the foundation for him to tackle the hard things. This foundation paved his path into the fire service, starting with volunteer training and a relentless pursuit of certifications. He shares his journey to becoming a fire captain and the reality of moving from a junior recruit to a leader responsible for a crew's safety and growth.
