185. "True Believers" - Steve McClain

20 years in the fire service, the last 8 with Sacramento, CA, Steve McClain knows one thing... he wanted to run with fast paced companies and go to fires. Sacramento offers a wide variety of opportunity and admittedly, Steve will tell you the knob is the best seat in the game, but the truck certainly offers more opportunity. And opportunity is what he likes. Sacramento has an organized approach to work. Fluid riding positions and a culture that breeds aggressive firefighting. These factors are built upon the hard work of those that came before Steve and the firefighters' of Sacramento. So it is imperative to protect these values and continuing the mission of keeping the job good. Steve has a passion for training and working with the next generation. Being able to help shape the narrative while instilling the right stuff into the recruits has made for an enjoyable time as a Drill Instructor. "True Believers" sums up everything that is good about the job and Steve's love for Sacramento. He is careful to protect the job while making sure he does his part in moving it forward. "West Coast" Steve has been coming east coast for some time now working with Eckert Fire Tactics and being afforded the opportunity to share his knowledge and experience with Brothers from the right coast. Steve McClain is not slowing down anytime soon. Protecting the job and making an impact will keep him busy for a long time to come.
