Randy Karrer (Retired Golder Ranch Fire Department Chief)
My good buddy, and multiple time guest, Bill Hanson arranged the meeting between Randy and I!
We met, I gave him a hard time about being a second responder, but he was such the gracious guest. He chose the fire service after he had an interaction with Firefighter/ paramedics early in his life which sealed his destiny! Many years later, he rose to the ranks of The Chief and he continues to serve in retirement.
On a serious note, I appreciate his authenticity and willingness to share the story of his son Aaron. Aaron was an EMT in the Phoenix Valley early in his adult life. He saw some things that made a deep impression on him, some that he could not shake. He went on to become a firefighter for Golder Ranch, but not without some demons which ultimately caught up to him.
Randy, thanks again for sharing your story, creating this legacy, and continuing to serve. Squad, you know what to do...lift him up, enjoy the episode and thanks for tuning in.
