S7 Ep 5 Exploring the Neighborhood with Shon Buford and Michie Wong of the San Francisco Fire Department
Have you ever wanted to know what being a firefighter is like? In this week’s episode, we learn about the San Francisco Fire Department from two delightful, socially dedicated firefighters: Michie Wong and Shon Buford.
A retired fire marshal, Michie took SFFD to a new level of security and sustainability. With keen expertise in code interpretation and intracity collaboration, Michie's work was a beacon for urban accessibility and safety.
Shon Buford has a hand in social impact for SFFD as Assistant Deputy Chief of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. He’s also the first African-American President of the Firefighter's Union and was the Captain of Engine 25, which happens to be where we had our interview!
Learning from Michie and Shon was a joy. They love their work so much that we felt inspired to join the Fire Department ourselves. We hope you feel the same after tuning in this week.
Meet Michie Wong and Shon Buford!
