Orlando firefighter paramedic proud to serve Central Florida community
ORLANDO, Fla. – Between his time in the Air Force Reserve and at the Orlando Fire Department, Joseph Passmore has been serving the Central Florida community for over a decade. Passmore is a firefighter paramedic at OFD station 10 in Orlando. "He always said that I would make a good firefighter paramedic because of how I work around people, how I work under pressure and my ability to train," Passmore said. When not on shift at the station or spending quality time with his son, Passmore finds time to train new medics entering the department. From serving abroad to right here in Central Florida, Passmore said he wants people to know what the Fourth of July means to him.
