00:00We know the hard work and sacrifice they go through serving our community and keeping us safe.
00:06Let's honor another First Responder on 99.5 QYK.
00:12It is First Responder Friday. We have Beth on the phone today. Good morning, Beth. How are you?
00:17Good morning. Good. How are you?
00:18We're great. So we need to brag about your husband today, Peter, who is a First Responder in our community.
00:24Tell us how he is a First Responder and how he serves our community.
00:27This is his 20th year in Pasco, and he is the captain at Hazmat Station 9.
00:33He also is the treasurer of his local union, 4420, and also he is sergeant of arms of the Benevolence Association.
00:42Wow.
00:43Yeah, he's very busy.
00:45So he's a leader, basically, is what you just said.
00:47Yes, very much so.
00:50He's continuing his education and training classes and always training with his crew.
00:56His crew is his number one priority to make sure that everyone gets home safe to their families at the end of the day.
01:01Oh, I love that.
01:03What was his initial calling into this career?
01:05Well, his mom will tell you that his first word was truck, and it was down in Clearwater as he was tracing a fire truck down the street.
01:13And that's the only thing he's ever wanted to do in his life.
01:16I think you just came up with a country song, by the way.
01:19My first word was truck.
01:21Perfect.
01:21Well done, Beth.
01:23So what does he love the most about working in Pasco County?
01:29Serving his community.
01:31He drives for that.
01:32He is very powerful in what he does, and he trains hard, and he works smart.
01:38That's great.
01:39Tell us what Beth and Peter do when you guys are not working.
01:43We're busy with two girls.
01:45Okay.
01:45We have one in college and one in fourth grade.
01:48Okay.
01:48And then when we're not doing that, you can find us on the boat, or you can find Pete in his hunting stand in the woods.
01:54Nice.
01:54There you go.
01:55I love it.
01:55Very cool.
01:56Well, listen, thank you so much for reaching out to us today, Beth.
01:59We want to do this for you and your family.
02:00We want to give you $200 in Visa gift cards.
02:02One for our friends at Crown Buick GMC.
02:05The other one from DeMesman and Dover Law Firm.
02:07This is a small way for us to say thank you to you for what you do and for what Peter does as well, and we appreciate you so much.
02:14Aw, thank you so much.
02:15You are welcome.
