FireFighter Christian Lewis

My name is Christian Lewis i'm a probationary firefighter for South Media Fire Company. I joined the fire service cause i always wanted to be a firefighter since i can remember. Both my father and grandfather were firefighters and so i am third generation to be a firefighter.

Alittle about my department
