Summary
For Madison firefighter Ryan Workman, 9/11’s echoes still shape his daily mission—how a single day reshaped firefighting, forged new protocols, and demanded relentless readiness. A veteran of both the Air Force and the firehouse, he recalls a harrowing Iraqi deployment where a nine-hour delay before his first fire response taught him the cost of hesitation—and why adaptability saves lives. Now, he champions passing those lessons to younger crews, ensuring that 9/11’s legacy isn’t just remembered but lived in every call, every protocol, every act of courage. It’s not just history—it’s how we protect tomorrow. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
