ROANOKE, Va. — On June 7, nine recruits graduated and became members of the Roanoke Fire-EMS Department, making it an especially memorable day for one of them.
Firefighter Brayden Bradbury is upholding a family tradition of service, becoming the third member of his family to join the department, WDBJ reported.
“Proud doesn’t begin to describe how we feel about our son,” Bradbury’s mother, Tiffany, said.
Bradbury’s father, Kevin, has served with the department for more than 25 years and is currently a first lieutenant. His grandfather, Ralph Tartaglia, also had a distinguished career with Roanoke Fire-EMS, serving for 37 years before retiring as deputy chief.
Implementing supervision-focused best practices requires leaders to address their members’ different worldviews, work ethics and perspectives
