Orlando (FL) Firefighter Retires After 29 Years – Then Decides to Come Back for More

Orlando Firefighter Dante Farina retired after 29 years of service in 2019.

Then he began talking with friends who asked him if he missed the fire service. Every day, was his answer.

So he started on the road back out of retirement, Fox 35 reports. After the Orlando department looked past him, he decided to go to the Seminole County Fire Department.

Now he’s about to graduate from training and join the department, along with firefighters who weren’t even born when he first joined.

It’s been a good experience, Fox 35 reports, with Farina learning from the younger generation and him offering some insights from experience.
